Is it bad that all I want to do is talk about Ryan?  He's still amazing and sweet and the best thing ever.  He is also the best baby in the whole world.

We are down in Ponoka this week.  On Sunday, we attended Malmo church for the first time with Ryan.  He ended up having a bit of gas issues so we spent most of the service downstairs.  He did get to meet everyone there and it was nice to see people we haven't in a while.

From Monday till today, we haven't done too much and that's just fine with us.  Our days all look the same and have kind of blended together.  When we wake up, Tyler usually studies and I work on a cross stitching when I'm not feeding Ryan, changing Ryan or just looking at him.  I find it hard not to just stare at him all the time.  He is beautiful.  He's also a very stretchy baby.  When he's coming out of a sleep, he stretches and stretches and then usually starts to cry because he's hungry.  It's kind of funny to watch.  But as far as what we have been up to, it's tough to write about because, as mentioned before, our days have run together and are really focused on Ryan.

I feel very blessed to have Tyler home with me for these first few weeks.  I know it's not normal and it wont last forever but it's just awesome.  I wish everyone could have this experience because it has made transitioning into the parent role a little easier then I thought it would be.  Since Tyler doesn't have to wake up for work, I can get him to do the nightly diaper changes without worrying about him being tired the next day.  I am starting to think that even when Tyler does have to get up for work, I might not be worried about it.

We have about 2 weeks until we will be getting back to Bella Bella.  I am so excited to get back home.  I think that 10 weeks away from home is long enough and now that Ryan has been here for a few weeks, I'm ready to get into my own swing of things.  Also, I'm looking forward to another long road trip.  I know it's a little crazy to enjoy sitting in a car for 27 hours but it's really fun to go places with Tyler.  I'm also very interested to see how Ryan does in the car for that long.  I'll be sure to blog about it as we go as I'm anticipating many interesting things happening.
