Disneyland in the Flood

So we went to Disneyland this December, as we have done every December that we have been married.  I've never in my entire life been to California in the kind of flood we were in.  It was Phoebe's first trip and she spent the whole time under a rain cover very graciously donated by Gary and Traci.  I have very few pictures to choose from because I didn't want to take Phoebe out in the pouring rain.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Phoebe was so tired on the only day that it didn't rain that she fell asleep riding the carousel.  She loved all the rides she went on and she went on quite a few.

Thank goodness for our Marmot water resistant jackets and ponchos.  We would have been toast without them.  Very very soggy toast.

2010 The Year of the Needle

It's been an interesting year for us.  Ryan and I had 2 hospital visits each this year, a new job, new house, new baby, new shoulder and now new knee!  Let's hope next is filled with many adventures and less trips to the hospital.
I am sure, after this last trip to the hospital, that Ryan and medication don't mix well.  Here is the conversation we had when I came into the hospital room after his knee surgery.  When I went in Ryan had his eyes closed.  He opened them briefly and smiled at me before going back to sleep.  I sat on the chair in the room and waited for him to wake up.  When I did he looked at me and said,
Ryan: Where's Phoebe?
Me:  At your mom's house.
Ryan: Why?
Me: Because I need to take care of you and it's easier with when she's not here.
Ryan: Why?
Me:  Because you just got out of surgery.
Ryan then fell asleep again for about 5 minutes.  When he woke again he started to look at the clock.
Me: What are you looking at?
Ryan: What time is it?
Me: Twelve o'clock.
Ryan: In the morning?
Me: No in the afternoon.
Ryan then began to look at his finger that had the heart monitor in it.
Ryan: (alarmed) It's all red.
Me: It's a light.
Ryan:Why?
Me: It's to monitor your heart.
Ryan: Why?
Me: Because you just got out of surgery.
Ryan closed his eyes again and I assumed he was asleep.  Then he opened his eyes again and began to look at the clock.
Me: It's 12:05
Ryan: No it's 1:00.
Me:  The big hand is on the one but the little hand is on the 12 so it's 12:05.  I'll show you on my phone.  Can you see it?
Ryan: No.  Can we go?
Me: I don't think they'll let you go yet.
Ryan: Why?
Me: Because I don't think you're awake enough yet to go home.
He then fell asleep again.  He woke up about 10 minutes later and said,
Ryan: Where is Phoebe?
Me: At your mom's house.
Ryan: Why?  We repeated the whole conversation 3 more times.

I love Ryan so much.  I am so glad I have him!
