Fall Fun

This weekend we decided to have some "Fall Fun" and go to Tuttle Orchards. We had lunch there and took some fun pictures. We picked apples and bought some fun items at their country store.

The day was cut a little short, because Ryne did not react well to the sunscreen that I put on him. His face started to break out and he got pretty cranky (poor guy!). We also almost lost his little silky blanket (which I was super sad about), but Kyle was our hero of the day and found it in the orchard.
All in all it wasn't our best fall trip, but we got some fun pictures. We are excited to take Ryne there next year when he is a big boy and can help pick out his own pumpkin and apples!

When two great things come together

Pearl Jam and the Chicago Cubs...what a beautiful thing when two of my favorite things come together.

This was apparently sung at the Vic Theatre. Eddie Vedder is a known long term Cubs fan, and this is just marvelous!

Go Cubs Go....and now All The Way!

Ryne's New Moves

Ryne can now officially roll from his back to his front, and from his front to his back. He has done the full roll twice now and ended up half way across the room. Now that he is more mobile he has some new interesting sleeping positions...

I also thought that these pictures were cute...he looks so tiny in that big chair!

Cubs Fans

ESPN.com is currently running a front page headline story on Cubs fans. Here is a link to a nice video in the article:

There are hundreds of user discussion comments regarding the video and story. The thread at one point was criticizing the parents who named their son Wrigley Fields. In response to that was the following comment by user vweaver69. I couldn't have said it any better:

Beautiful piece. My youngest son is named Ryne. It doesn't matter that 95% of everyone we introduce him to calls him Ryan... those who are Cubs fans...they get it. There's no one we've met who knows who Sandberg is, that thinks we're crazy for naming our son Ryne. I'm sure it's the same for Wrigley's parents. Maybe every Cub's fan wouldn't name their kid Wrigley, but they get it. They're not crazy. We're not crazy. We're Cubs fans.

It is such a great comment regarding Sandberg that ESPN.com has it currently on the front page as the featured quote. I am not sure how much longer it will be the featured comment so here is a screenshot:


GO CUBS GO!

Recent Video Clips

Ryne just started rolling over on his own this week. Mom and Dad aren't sure we're ready for this, but here is a montage of clips over the past 4-6 weeks, ending with a recent rollover.

Labor Day Pictures

We had a blast on Labor Day weekend, celebrating Saturday at Kyle's parents house with Grandpa and Grandma and uncle Brian and Aunt Cathie. The little cousins had a photo shoot as you'll see from some of the pictures below and Ryne also got his first ever boat ride!

On Sunday, we spent the day with Krista's parents. It was a lot of relaxing and a chance for Mom and Dad Peterson to spend some great time with their grandson.

Catching Up

Well it's been a few weeks since we've posted anything new here, but meeting Ryne Sandberg was such a fun event, we wanted to leave those pictures at the top of the blog for as long as possible. Since that fun weekend however, we've been having a lot of fun. Last weekend we celebrated Grandpa and Grandma's 60th Wedding Anniversary! Congratulations go to them for such faithfulness and for raising an amazing family, which of course now includes their Great Grandchildren. Here are a couple of fun pictures:

Then mommy had fun one day taking pictures of Ryne playing on his blanket.

Stay tuned for Labor Day weekend pictures shortly!
