WEEKEY BEATS THE ODDS!

Aunt Stef gave Ryan a caterpillar last week, Weekey (named by Ryan) barely survived the ride home in the pickle jar, then after hanging in his cocoon for just one day he fell to the bottom of the container. Luckily Tracey helped find us Weekey 2 (named by Ryan) and Weekey 1 was not given much thought.

Well, wouldn't you know to our surprise today Ryan came running in to Jen announcing Weekey was a butterfly! Weekey did indeed make his metamorphisis, and Ryan couldn't be happier.

1,500 LADYBUGS!

Grandma and Grandpa gave Ryan the best gift ever! 1,500 live ladybugs to play with...

Ryan had a blast spreading them all around the front and backyard, at one point he had a dozen crawling on him at once and he loved it.

NEW RETAINING WALL

With a lot of help from Craig, we were able to install a new retaining wall. I have included some before and after photos. Thanks again to Craig (and Tracey for keeping Ryan busy) for all the help. When are you guys free for the next project?
