The girls with Carter.

Our first walk around the block. Ry is such a great helper!

Party in Sugarcreek

Friday evening Ryan went to stay with Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Mandy so they could go to a festival in Sugarcreek. Ryan got to feed goats, llamas and a baby giraffe. He rode a train, a horse pulled buggy and painted a pot and planted a flower for daddy for Father's Day as well. When they returned home they brought Scott an ice cream cake (his favorite) to thank him for being such a great Daddy!!

This picture was taken last weekend but it was too perfect not to share somewhere!

Finally...Introducing the Lamonica Twins!

I have a few minutes (not kidding....only a few) to update the blog with the announcement of Reese Anne Marie and Reagan Rose Lamonica.
Last Sunday I started having contrations during the evening but I kept assuring Scott it was nothing to worry about. Well at about 1:30 AM I woke Scott, called Dr. Swan and off we went!  We were scheduled to be induced that Monday morning at 6 but apparently the twins didn't like the idea of anyone telling them what to do! 
We waited a few hours then were wheeled back to an operating room (where they deliver all multiple deliveries) and at 10:31 AM delivered Reese and 10:56 along came Reagan. Both were vaginal deliveries and everyone was healthy!!
Reese- 10:31 AM, 6 pounds, 20 inches long.
Reagan- 10:56 AM, 6 pounds, 7 ounces, 19 -1/2 inches

Ryan loves being a big brother and likes helping get things for Scott and I but he is having trouble sharing our attention with them. We are trying really hard to keep him involved with everything we do are keeping him the center of attention to reassure him that there is tons of love to go around!

Our first trip out...to the pediatrician for a bili check.

Swinging on the porch...Reese (L), Reagan (R)

Daddy is wrapped around their fingers already!

Ryan loves holding them! He helped me give them a bath and change their diapers.

A full day of Fun!!!

Last Sunday (Ryan's last day as only child) Aunt Mandy, Uncle Tyson and TD came down to spend the night.  We grilled out, had water balloons, played in the hose, sprinkler and had a water gun fight. It was a great, but VERY hot day.  I again spent the day in the shade taking pictures of the day's activities. I laughed so hard at Ryan as he struggled to squirt the water gun, I'm sure that is what put me into labor late that night!!

Meet Baby Carter Fitz

After Ashley and Charli left today we went out to visit our great friends Mike, Abby and their new addition, Carter Michael.  Ryan is getting confused between him and Charli and will probably be even more perplexed after the twins arrive.

We love birds!

Well... I love them and Ryan loves taking pictures!  He actually took the first two pictures of this blue bird!We bought a couple new bird feeders trying to attract beautiful birds to our yard. We sat on the front porch and watched this blue bird for about an hour today.

A visit from Charli

Thursday afternoon Ashley brought Charli down to spend some time with Ry and I while she ran some errands. Ryan wanted to hold her the entire time!

Just snapping some pictures of Ryan playing with Scott, Elizabeth and I on a typical weekday evening and thought these were worth sharing!

Ryan trying to spray Elizabeth with the hose.

Ryan is amazed at his Daddy's skills.

He really can't believe how high the ball went!

And finally...he wasn't ready to come inside!
