I Love The Critters

As most of you are aware, Brandon got a new job with JPMorgan that will move us to Indianapolis. We've already been house hunting, and had the first showing of our house last night. It's all very exciting, but of course we are sad to leave our Blacklick Family.

Ritter's Critters came to somewhat of an ubrupt end on July 1. It's a bit heartbreaking to walk down to the basement and not hear little feet running (I mean WALKING :) or laughter echoing throughout the room. On a positive note, it's the cleanest it's every been in a few years!

Our main computer is packed away, but I plan on posting some recent photos that are on my laptop. There just aren't many from actual Ritter's Critters days.

Many people have asked if Ritter's Critters will move to Indy. We'll be putting that on hold, but I'll let you know if we open those doors anytime soon!

Hope you are all staying cool on these hot summer days. Hey Brandon, maybe we should find a house with a pool??!! Just kidding; makes me too nervous! We'd be happy to find some friends with one though (:

Keep checking back for some sweet pictures of some sweet kiddos!

Nolan & Nana


Nolan helping Brandon push Nana to lunch. I attempted to upload a video of him pushing her, but after 60 minutes of "loading", I gave up.

Nana must have told a funny joke for Nolan to be so giggly!

Nolan, Daddy, Mimi & Poppi

I think Nolan is going to grow up and be an extreme adventurer. He loves climbing tall things and going down slides when I'm not looking. You know, the big slides at the park. He also loves electrical cords. He enjoys walking around with a trail of them. Perhaps he'll be an electrician?

Evan just hanging out on a beautiful morning...or is Cailyn in control?!

Bath Time Fun with the Suver's



The Suver's had Nolan and I over for dinner one evening in March, and all three kids were due for a bath. They had a blast, and literally soaked the entire bathroom with their splashing.

This was a ring around the sun in Florida, which I believe indicates rain is coming. We had never seen this before. It was very pretty. And, rain never came!
