Ty's New Village

Yesterday was the prettiest day we've had since returning from Ethiopia and all 5 us were itching to get outside. Ty went on his first stroller ride with his mama in the morning around the Village neighborhood. It has been so long since we were out and about, I was glad to see new houses going up. That means new neighbors, and closer to finishing up our 'hood which makes us all happy! After Ty's mid-morning nap and a heavy lunch (he MUST be going through a growing spurt, that kid is eating everything, and LOTS of it!) the Roy clan headed to our fountain park. I had received a text from one of Ty's newest friends, Riley, giving him the scoop on a potential kids fun zone around the corner. So off we went. Riley was right, the Village kiddos were out in full force. This was Ty's first introduction to his new neighbors, his new Village peeps were excited to meet their newest little boy. The older kids rode bikes and practiced gymnastics in the grass. Ty enjoyed his first Goldfish snack, apparently there were a few on the ground, and he too practiced a little gymnastics on the grass. We loved our time outdoors and watching Ty around the kids. He definitely feels comfortable surrounded by little people. After our fun outing we brought a very tired little boy home for a nap that he apparently didn't want. Giving thanks again for the Ergo Baby carrier! Strapped him on and set about cutting up fruit and making mashed potatoes. Later we joined the kids at the Johnson's for an evening cookout. What a great time we had! 8 pm and all were asleep, even Brian! I was left to watch t.v. alone, with a left over plate of brownies. That's what I call a perfect ending to a perfect day!
