Uh-oh…coughs…
Well, it’s Thursday morning and thats 2 nights in a row that Rylan has got out of his bed and came in our room at 3 in the morning. This time though, a little friend was tagging along with him, that’s right he brought in a fever! So you know what that means! First him, then he will give it to Taylor, then Crystal or I will get it! Oh, I guess it’s just “the circle of liiiiiiiiiife”… (sung to the theme from Lion King). Also, Crystal and I had a doctors visit yesterday and everything checked out fine. She was excited that she didn’t gain any weight in the last 2 weeks, but there was this other gaggle of ladies sitting in there and one girl was tearing up exclaiming, “Omg I can’t believe I gained 2 pounds, can you believe it mother? 2 POUNDS!” I was like….c’mon lady, you have a CHILD growing inside your body, and I told her that right then and there, yeah….ok….maybe not my place, but I get tired of some of these vain pregnant ladies worrying about such small things like, 2 pounds, or 15 pounds, or swollen parts, or thinking that they are ugly, or they might have droopy skin, or they may not fit back into a certain pair of pants! You know what? The weight can come off, things will stop swelling, you are beautiful, skin is elastic, and you can buy some different pants! The big picture is that you….a MOTHER…have just CREATED A LIFE! That’s a baby you had, not just something that was here for 9 months and then just, was never there! Be proud of what you have accomplished. You have done something that some people would kill to be able to do, and I didn’t forget about you Dads, you are apart of this also….good job!
So, before you look so deeply at those vanity pounds you got lying around, look at those beautiful blessings that are right in front of you!

Mr. Aladdin sir, have a wish…or two….or three!
Ok, I will just start it out just like this…..why do people always rub on my pregnant wifes belly?
Why? Why? really…Why? Don’t get me wrong family members don’t bother us , really they don’t, I’m serious. What I want to know, who gave the blue haired crow in the grocery store permission to walk up to my wife and start caressing her like she was a magical lamp and a genie was gonna pop out if she kept rubbing long enough. Listen lady just because you had kids 67 years ago, doesn’t give you the right to rub my wife like a professional lotion applier! You don’t see old men coming up to me, rubbing my parts because we both pee standing up! It doesn’t matter that you are both women, both have given birth, or even have the same astrological sign! Keep your hands of the belly! Other than that everything is hunky-dorey (wow that looks funny typed out). Well, about 5 more weeks till delivery time so keep counting down with me!
Late,
Ryan

F.U.V
Is it a “van”, a “school bus”, an “extended-cab car”, or just the old reliable term “mini-van”? I really don’t like this term. So I have come up with a new term…..FUV! Yes, a Family Utility Vehicle…..huh…huh..yeah…you like that huh? I want to tell you, this FUV that we just purchased a month ago is totally sweet! I mean we had a Ford Aerostar when I was growing up and God love my father, he was just getting what was family-functional at the time. But, I must say it was really fun even though my mom hated that thing! I must say though, our new vehicle is so friggin sweet!
We bought a 2008 Honda Odyssey and man this thing has eeeeeeevvverything! Not to mention it is totally 100% my wifes vehicle. I have only driven this thing like a true handful of times. Back in the day with our other vehicle I used to have to drive every place we went, but now I am always the passenger and that is okay with me! Number one question though what and when made the “mini-van” un-cool? I’m serious I really want to know the answer or opinions on this topic!

A-A-A-A-A-A-A-AAAACHHOOO, another entry…ungh.
Wow, this weekend flew by terribly fast. It started on Friday, came home and we were ready to head out after my wife had been going through all of our daughters old clothes from the past four years. I swear I pulled out fourteen plastic storage tubs of just Taylor’s old baby and toddler clothes, hellloooooo, fourteen? It is also so sad that 25% of them still had tags on them and had not been worn, and I say that because I have known people to wear clothes out to do something or to a swanky dinner and then took them back the very next day! So we load these things into our FUV and go to the consignment store that my wife’s friend owns and I realize that we only brought like six bags o’stuff. Okay, now we did have fourteen tubs, where did the rest of the clothing run off too? Turns out alot of them had stains on them, she gave some to another one of our friends thats expecting, and the other bunch to some chick at church. Now what is crazy, I think Crystal shed a tear for every single bit of clothing that she either inspected or laid her hands on! She said “I don’t know why it is so hard to get rid of this old crap”, and I said “look most of that stuff has either smushed carrot or spit-up stains on it, keep the sentimental stuff for yourself and lets lighten our attic before it caves in on us” So needless to say, I think theres like one tub going back up to the attic. Also this weekend, me and the kiddos worked outside on Saturday, for like 9 hours and I don’t think I’ve ever had that much crap in my nose before! So today is Monday and I am still sneezing like I am rehearsing for a allergy-sinus medication commercial. I am hoping to start on the new podcast part of the new website this week so be looking forward to that also. Well, gotta start defrosting dinner, mmmmm pan roasted tilapia!

Well, well, well……..looky what we have here!
Hey everybody, Ryan here! Yes, I am the Daddy of this Digest so this blog and accompanying podcast will be the window to my soul, a peek at my life, an instance in my time, a porthole in my ship….ok that last one did it. Anyways just a little hello from me and I guess a little about me also. At the current moment I am 28 years old. I am married for 5 years now. I have two children, Taylor (the princess) is four and Rylan (the prince) is two. Now there is a little one on the way, yes my beautiful wife, yet again, has a brisket in her biscuit! She goes to the o.b. on Wednesday so I’ll probably report on that when we see what happens. We already know it’s a boy, and we are thinking of naming him Peyton, so let me know what you think! Well, until next entry…..
Late,
Ryan
