WOW! This has been a very busy two weeks.
And life is only going to get crazier. Over the next few weeks we will celebrate the birth of our second grandson and two graduations.
Ryder received his new quilt for his big boy bed.
He really seems to like it. That makes me so happy!

Our Easter Egg hunt was a lot of fun!
On another day Ryder helped his granddad mow the grass.
Don't worry...Ryder never got near the lawn
mower while it was running.
Yesterday we went to Communiversity in Princeton.
We took the "Dinky" train...a five minute ride from the Princeton Jct. train station to the Princeton University campus
"I've got my ticket and I'm ready to ride!"
Ryder loved watching all the people and listening to the great music. There was so much to see and do. We walked around for a while and then headed home for a yummy pizza dinner.
