Here are some recent pictures of Rydge. You probably can't tell, but he has changed a lot in three weeks (almost). This picture is when he was 1 day old.
This is him at two weeks old. It's kinda hard to catch him when he's awake, so I don't have one of him with his eyes open after that.

Here is a picture of his foot. Whenever anyone sees his feet, they are always shocked. They are so long. He's got some extremely long toes as well. In fact, the nurses at the hospital told my father-in-law that he has the record for the longest feet. When they took him to get his footprint, his foot was too long to fit into the square.

He is such a cuddly little guy.

Jaycee is such a good big sister. She sometimes does things that aren't nice, but most of the time she is so loving to her little brother. She always comes up to him and says, "Oh, he's such a darling!" She will also call him a cutie pie, or sweetheart. It's so funny.

These are the only pictures I took of the 4th of July. We really had a fun day, and went to a lot of celebrations, but I had a baby in my arms, which makes it hard to take pictures. We started the day out by going to a breakfast to support the Lions Club to help pay for the city fireworks. Then we went to the parade in Paris. I thought about Meghan and Brad the whole time because we saw their family reunion out in her grandparents' yard. Too bad the Schow's weren't able to be there. After the parade, the men went golfing, and the women stayed home and talked while all the kids slept. It was no small feat to have three little girls and a baby boy all asleep at the same time. All we had to do was wear them out until they couldn't keep their eyes open. Then for dinner we went to the good old Ranch Hand. Our final event was going to the fireworks, which were so awesome for such a small town. These pictures of Jaycee are actually from Sunday night because we didn't have time to do fireworks of our own.
