But then Ryan found out he was shipping out early and was not able to go. Thanks for the idea Ryan! We offered a toast to Ryan at dinner for his great idea. Nonna was not feeling well at all tonight, so it ended up just being Grandpa, Ronan, and I. We tried to eat $60 of food each to make up the difference, so by the time we left…the thought of food was digusting to me….i was soooo full! (Tommrow I’m doing pilates!!!)

You get a lot of attention when you are pregnant and strangers come out of the woodwork and touch your belly. Then when you have the baby all the attention goes to him. What I didn’t expect was how much attention we would get with little RoRo. It seems everywhere we go, EVERYONE is coming up to say how cute he is. I’m a little biased when it comes to that comment, but I admit it feels really nice hearing that. Lets see we had people talking about him and his stroller on the walk up to the ballpark, then every single waitress (and even a few waitors and the manager!) would come up and say something to Ronan or us about Ronan (one or more times). Other customers at Friday’s came up to comment on Ronan. One even offered to take our photo (as seen here). The manager thinks he should be in baby magazines (lol…little does she know that is in the works!). Then walking back to the car more people came over to see the little dude. So now was the night about the baseball game? OR did Ronan steal the show? (sigh…it is just the beginning…)

Ronan had a really good time at the game and did really well. He slept the whole two hours up to Pheonix and back! He ate and played happily while we were in the ballpark. It was a lovely evening and we thought of daddy the whole time! We miss you and love you Ryan!

Okay so I’m trying to get some sleep because he woke me up early-early this morning and ended up sleeping the rest of the morning with me in bed. So then he wants to play and starts kicking off the covers. Once I woke up for good I played the game with him. First you cover him up with the covers….

Then Ronan kicks off the blankets and laughs! What a stinker! But I love him! 

I just got my phone call from Ryan since he has left. I’m not sure if he will get to call again. He was only able to talk for 60 seconds so I was able to get his address tell him I miss him and love him and that Ronan misses him too. Then he had to go. It was a little stressful because I am not sure if I got the street name above correct or not. I asked him about 4 times to re-spell it for me. He sounded a little stressed out, but then he has guys yelling at him all day. I know he would really like it if you sent him letter/s of encouragement.

Thank you so much for thinking of him in your prayers!

Hey Everyone! Today is a big day for us at the Nystrom household. We are going to the folk festival here in Tucson. Nonna is an announcer again this year (hey those DJ classes paid off!) and we are going to go cheer her on and listen to some good music!
