Hello everyone

Things are going much better; Ryley has been diarrhea free for almost two weeks now.  We tried to put him the lactose free milk - that was a no go; he would not even touch the nipple.   We changed back and I had to squirt milk into his mouth so he would take the bottle.  Ryley had his 9 month check up today; the doctor gave him a clean bill of health.  20lbs 4oz and 29 1/2'', she said he was so cute she just wanted to bite a piece out of his cheek.  Ryley started crawling June 2nd and has been getting much better, now he thinks he should also stand up beside everything, lots of fun.  He likes to help fill the dishwasher or pull out the bottom tray and he is every where all at once.

Ron has been home for 2 weeks and as of yet still has not changed too many diapers, the problem is that I'm working from home.  He really enjoys it, been walking a lot, rollerblading and some running. 

As for me I'm still looking for a part time or full time job.  I would like to remain working from home but that may not be possible.

This past weekend Elsie, Ron's mother had a garage sale and she didn't do to bad.  We helped out with the sale on Saturday and clean up on Sunday.  Now she has another project, her deck needs a paint job. 

Monday we went to the Zoo, all the animals were very active.  The hippopotamus were swimming and walking round.  Lion's were mating; one of the female is in heat so the male was in a flurry of action.  A moose has two baby calves about 3-4 weeks old and they were playing.  Mom seemed to get after them a little bit.  A tree kangaroo had a baby in her pouch.   Those were the high lights of our zoo trip.  Ryley is starting to notice and get excited about the animals.

I'll add a few NS trip pictures.

Everyone have a good day
Jennifer and Family
