Just being...

together sometimes and not fighting can make for some of the greatest moments. Riley and Ronan are not known to be completely cooperative when they are in the same room. Ronan doesn't really enjoy it when Riley gets any attention from Ryan and I, so a pushing fight ensues and we get forced to split them up into different rooms. BUT, when they do get along, it is so stinkin' cute. We have gotten to the point where we can tell Ronan to give Riley a hug and if he is feeling like a lovey dovey, he'll do it and Riley just eats it up.


Ronan has also started hamming it up for the camera because he knows he can see a picture of himself right afterwards. This was him smiling, knowing that seconds later, he would be able to see himself in the digital camera!

We also had a Shelley dinner night last week and with Shelley, always comes Elsie and the now beloved "En-tendo DS" that Riley just loves. She has been playing Nintendogs or something like that and her excitedment has gotten Ronan excited about it too...this is a picture of them watching the dogs dance:


And here is Shelley guiding Riley for part of the game...

And Ronan, playing with Elsie:

And of course, what week would be complete without a picture of Ronan freaking out! We went to Riley's award ceremony at school and he did so well sitting there, until literally, the last 3 minutes. He had a mini-breakdown and since I had my camera, I thought, "hey, I should take a picture!" He was not happy I was taking pictures when I should have been holding and cuddling him....
