Ryker is wearing an Avo original; it matches his eyes perfectly!

Easter in Ireland

Granda Rush had a major stroke last November and we had to move him to a nursing home.  Andrew's siblings, Anthony and Siobhan, came and Keelin turned 7.  We went to the beach at Mullaghmore to check on the house (it was destroyed by a broken water pipe).  We spent 2 days in Dublin, but I sprained my ankle.  We went to MANY parks, the Marble Arch Caves, stayed at the Belle Isle (on an island at the top of Loch Erne), met cousins and got to bed WAY too late every night.  It was a busy week!

The Spider is Gone

Ryker and I had the stomach flu over the weekend.  I tried to explain to him that we had bugs in our tummies and that was what was making us sick.   He slept next to me last night so I could quickly help him when he was sick.  He woke up this morning, smiling, and said, the spider is gone!  Spider?  Yeah, the one in my tummy.

First Bike Ride

One of Andrew's clients gave Ryker his first bike.  We threw the bikes in the bike of the truck and headed down to Redwood City where they close the road on Sundays.  Ryker was SO excited to put his helmet on and get on his bike.  He hopped on and off he went!

Ryker asked Santa for a rocket ship.

Go Giants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ryker is a BIG Giants fan.  After winning the World Series, we went down to the corner and lots of people gave him high 5s and took his picture.  Here's a (sideways) clip of him yelling "Go Giants!"  We'll go to the parade on Wednesday when the team returns from Texas.
