What Ry's been up to...

Studying, studying, studying!

Board Exams on the 25th of July!

(At least he's still smiling!)

A few days ago, one of the neighbor boys rang the doorbell and asked Ryan, "Will you play with me?" (pronounced "Will you pway wif me"...the kid has a serious lisp.) Um...how could Ryan resist that? So, Ry set up a make-shift tennis court in our driveway, and he and the boys have been having a grand old time on his study breaks! This photo was taken from our upstairs window.

Funnest!

Rachel, wish Ryan the best of luck from us! We totally remember that experience, and it seemed like it would never be over. Won't it be such a relief to have the test taken?
We love you guys!
