Free as a bird

On my 4th Month-Day

Free as a bird, it's the next best thing to be. Free as a bird.

Home, home and dry, like a homing bird I'll fly as a bird on wings.

Whatever happened to the lifes that we once knew? Can we really live without each other? 
(Anthology I)

I love tummy time!

How about that weather?  I still swear the old saying about weather is right on - especially for those of us living in Maryland (it's called weather because they don't know whether it is going to do this or whether it is going to do that).. Hahaha




Life has been busy in the Rye house.  I have been working a good bit - and it will only get more hectic in April which is National Donate Life Month.  If you haven't registered to be a donor, do so at www.donatelife.net.  Sorry - shameless plug for work :0)


Tim is Tim.  He doesn't change a whole lot from week to week.

On St.Patty's Day!

Then there is Benjamin.  The Bug turned 4 months old last Friday.  I cannot believe how fast time is flying past!  He is quite the happy little guy.  Everyday after work we play with him, getting him to "talk" and have "kicking pants" (if you haven't seen this, you need to!).  He will lay on his back and get his legs going, and going, and going.  Like a crazy man!  He has rolled from his belly to his back at least twice.  And is trying to sit up on his own.  He is absolutely the joy of life.  I smile every time I look at him, think of him, etc.  I think I'm turning into one of those sappy women!

Sitting at the table in my super cool chair from Nana & Pop!

Steve and Bri are officially coming to visit the first weekend in April.  We are so excited to see them before their big move to, as Steve says, the homeland.  Ben will also be going on his first beach trip in April for Easter!  Lots to do!!


It is really hard to believe that it was exactly a year ago that we learned we would be blessed with a bundle of joy.  I will never forget the surprise and joy in Tim's voice when I told him he was going to be a Daddy. And now, watching him as a Daddy has got to be one of the absolute coolest things in the world.  I love my boys!  


Love to all,
L&T

Such a happy boy!
