Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

It looks like it's going to be an e-card kind of Christmas this year. Here's wishing all of our friends and family a fantastic holiday season and an amazing 2012. We hope you had a great Christmas!

It's been busy here with Aunt Sarah and Jeremy, Uncle Mike and Catherine and Nana Jane visiting. Ryan couldn't be more excited. He's sleeping now and Paxton is in my arms trying to grab at the keys. Better run...

Happy New Year!

Christmas with Gong Gong and Poi Poi

With baby #2 coming in July, it was great to have so much help from Gong Gong and Poi Poi over the holidays. We also got to spend some quality time with Uncle Alex. Here are a few pictures and a video from December.

Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a great New Years Eve. Here's another Christmas video. This is Ryan opening a gift sent from Uncle Alex. The penguin card was a huge hit initially, but now he's really enjoying putting the animals into the train. Speaking of videos, see below for the top 10 videos we posted in the past year.

1. Eating Sophie the Giraffe (popular because of the product name I'm sure)
2. Ryan Laughing
3. Learning to Drum (good times with Uncle Mike)
4. Baby Karoke and Laughing
5. Catching and Swinging
6. Kingston 2009
7. Feeding Himself
8. Second Solid Feeding
9. Sarah and Jeremy Wedding Day
10. Crawling at 8 Months (hard to believe it was once this difficult!)

All the best in 2010. Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas

We hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas Day. Quiet day here. We're still on the fence about visiting Monteray Bay. Here's Ryan in his Santa suit and Carol in her new pyjamas (as well as some video footage).




Merry Christmas!

Christmas Greetings

It's been a while since my last update. Sorry about that. Things have been pretty hectic since the move. We're starting to settle in to the new house, which is just around the corner from Shirley Way.
Tree is up and we're all very excited to be able to spend a couple of days with Aunt Sarah and Uncle Jeremy before they take off for Asia.
We hope to speak to everyone soon. Lots of Skype calls over the holidays...
Picture and video are of Ryan this morning. He's a very happy little fella!

Christmas Vid

Here's Ryan's Christmas greeting. He's listening to the Canadian classic Tears are Not Enough.

Lots of Li Love

Ryan's been enjoying lots of love from the Li family this Christmas. Here are a few examples:



I'll post some more pictures on Kodak Gallery soon as well as a few vids of the little fella talking away. I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

I suspect that this will be my last Christmas morning blog post. I'm sitting beside a now sleeping Ryan, who has been busy entertaining his grandparents and keeping us all smiling with his constant smiles and chatter. I'll post some pictures of Gong Gong, Poi Poi, and Uncle Alex showering him with attention next time.

We'll have Aunt Helen and Eric here for our very traditional (and now annual) prime rib and crab legs dinner. I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas day.

I uploaded a short vid, but am having trouble with Youtube this morning due to the HD format. In the meantime, here is the month by month RyLi picture. At this rate, he'll be busting out of this onesie well before the end of the year.

Quick Update

It's been a few days since the last post, but I did recently post a few pictures from the weekend on Kodak Gallery. Here's a great picture of Ryan and Mom at a Christmas party in San Francisco on Sunday hosted by Kathy and James Steele.

You can check out all of the pictures here.

Ryan's doing great. He's now over 13lbs and smiling and talking more and more. He actually makes most of his noises while on the changing table. Here are a few gratuitous pictures of the little guy. I'm pretty sure my Mom has ordered all of them at this point. My favorite is this one:

Gong Gong and Poi Poi arrive on the 21st. We're looking forward to it!
