This is the first time I've tried Ryan in the tub like this...usually he doesn't have this much room to spread out and it was cool to see what he could do! Enjoy! xo Kiersten

Ummmm...?
Derek here. Yeah, that's right -- I'm checking in after an absence that started after posting #1.
I just wanted to throw a general "THANKYOU!!!" out there to all of you who have been so unbelievably helpful/supportive/patient/encouraging/(lots of other nice words go here).
Kiersten - There is no way either Ryan or I would have made it through these first four months without you. If it was just him and me, we'd be staring at each other with matching drool puddles under our chins. You rock. And you're hardcore. (If you're unfamiliar, 'hardcore' is a good thing -- ask Devin)
Alexis - You have managed to send more support and encouragement to us than you will ever realize. Thanks to you and Laelia for letting us piggyback on your strength and example.
Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Jen, and the rest of our local supporters - Thanks for being there day after day. For watching whoever we need watched whenever we need it. Thanks for always saying "yes", even when it means rearranging your schedule for the 100th time. Thanks for letting us stay quiet when we need to, and for being there to listen when we need it.
For our more distant supporters - Thankyou for calling to check on us. Thankyou for emails that let us know that you're thinking about us. Thankyou for cards that remind us of everyone who thinks about us and Ryan and the day-to-day challenges. Thankyou for all of your efforts -- there are days that those emails and letters and calls make all the difference, even if we don't tell you.
That just about covers it. I just can't prattle on all day about this stuff, I have important things to do. Plus, I don't want anyone getting a big head. Unless your head is unusually small right now, then, by all means, let it swell a little. Ummmmm...gotta go.
