Everyday life with the Ryan's

Some random memories made:

• Had to put Lydia in time-out today because she cried so much over wanting cheese; which she could not have till she ate her fruit. She literally would not give up on the cheese. Ashamed to admit it, but we caved. When it comes to cheese, she takes after her Daddy!

• Played catch with Jackson on the back porch this evening... it was enjoyable because he would run to get every ball I did not catch (which was just about all of them) :)
 

To end the day Phil and Jackson were in the garage, and Jackson stumbled upon some of the Christmas presents I bought early on sale (which Phil conveniently forgot to put away).  After much inquiry, we were finally able to explain to Jackson that they were just boxes from old toys. Then, we offered him cookies...all was forgotten!
