Not too much to report on, except that I have had the same blog up for a very long time. I find this annoying when other people do it, yet I am one of the worst offenders. Things at our house seem very busy as of late. Especially for me, I don't know if I mentioned that Matt got a promotion with UPS. He now works in the finance department doing something that sounds painfully boring to me, but he loves it! This would be why I didn't major in finance....Anyways, because of that, he no longer watches Ryan in the days anymore as he is working a normal job. Which means that I have scaled back my work to one day a week and a couple from home. It is A LOT of work taking care of Ryan and trying the handle an almost full-time job. I never thought that staying home would be easy but it has proved more challenging than I anticipated. Between my job and my calling at church I feel as though I live on the computer.
In other news, I am now being treated for my psoriasis. Perhaps many of my readers were unaware of this nasty autoimmune condition that I have had forever (really I thought everyone knew but somehow people are always surprised) The medication that I am on is pretty potent and therefore you can't be on it when you are pregnant or nursing, so I just got started about 2 weeks ago. Another wonderful side effect is CONSTANT nausea. I am hoping to get used to it but so far I feel like I am pregnant all over again which has made me consider whether I really want to ever be pregnant again....jury is still out on that one! I can't imagine feeling sick for 10 months and chasing after Ryan....The nausea has also made me consider whether I really want to treat my psoriasis, so far I am sticking with it but we shall see.
We are getting excited for the holidays as the fall weather is FINALLY coming (I guess not really as it is in the 80s all week, but the leaves are changing color) We are excited to see a lot of family when we come out to Utah. I am a little nervous though as Ryan wakes up WITHOUT FAIL at 5:30 every morning. That is early, but it is even earlier in the Mountain time zone. If anyone has ANY tips to make this kid sleep in later please pass them on. I swear I put him to bed later and he wakes up EARLIER. Not kidding. And then he is super crabby. So I don't know how to get him to sleep later, but I am willing to try ANYTHING.

Oh YESSS! I feel like I haven't talked to you in FOREVA! I can't wait to see you in Utah!! I SURE HOPE I'm THERE!
HEy Lisa-
The book I'm reading (Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Baby) said that when kids wake up too early, it's because their bed time is too late. Ellie was waking up at 4 or 4:30 every morning. So I tried putting her to bed an hour earlier and the next morning she woke up at 8. It has really worked for us - the earlier she goes to bed, the later she wakes up. I don't know if it will work for Ryan, but it's worth a shot.
We were having that same problem. Parker would wake up at 6:30 every morning no matter what so I too tried the going to bed early thing. We were putting him down between 8 and 9 and now we do between 7 and 8 and he has been waking up anywhere from 6 to 8. This morning was 7:45!!!! Also Parker was taking horrible naps through out the day and it was driving me crazy! I finally took him to the Dr. a couple of weeks ago for his one year checkup and he had a year infection. Since we got that taken care of he has been taking great naps and sleeping though out the night! Ok I'm done now. sorry so long!
Lis,
I am sorry to hear about the return of the pesky skin condition (don't know how to spell)I can relate to potent cures, (as I am sure you will recall from junior high and high school. ) I can't believe Santa bookings, that is too funny. Make sure you call me when you are going to Utah, I would LOVE to come and see ya!
Lisa, I would love to have Ryan come for a playdate with Roman. ALso, if you ever need anyone to watch him please feel free to give me a call. Most days I am home and Roman would love to have the complany.
