Ryan - My Buddies - Playgroup, Babyswap, & Kanka

This post is dedicated to Ryan and all his sweet friends & their mommies that make our lives so much fun!

BEST-PICTURE-EVER!

As you all know, Ry has a playgroup that provides him with plenty of socialization & of course, he has his neighborhood buddies - his main pals, being Bianca, "Kanka" V & Finn K. 


KANKA - Bianca
Ryan and Bianca & their mommies met one HOT August day in 2010 while walking around about 6pm.  Ryan was 3 months, and Bianca was 21 months, about the age Ryan is now.  Bianca's mother, Monica, invited me for coffee and the rest is history.

Ryan and Bianca "today" Well, last month, really.
Bianca started preschool in early March. She's a BIG girl now!
We are very proud of her big achievement.

THE DUCKLINGS/HUMMINGBIRDS/HUMMINGBEES/Babyswap
Ryan and I joined the East Roswell Moms Club in September 2010 and attended our first event a few days before Ryan turned 5 months old.  In September 2011, our group was so large we split into the Hummingbirds and the Bumblebees or as we sometimes call ourselves...The HummingBees...ha!
Here are the buds today:

Madeline, Ry, Lane, and Cate

And little "L" from last fall...can't forget her pic.  Need an updated one!

Can't forget to mention the ladies of "Babyswap"...keep your thoughts to yourself there! A Moms Club "splinter group" formed out of necessity.  Ryan, Olivia, and Gabby get to hang out every Friday while their mommies get some time to run errands or go to a doctor's appt, alone. Sometimes, we also dust or mop our floors. Very rarely, do we go and get a manicure. (Um, and that would just be me & just once). Here are the kids about 2 weeks ago:

THE IVEY RIDGE GANG
Lastly, but not at all leastly, here are the Ivey Ridge Ladies (for our final big group pic) a week ago Monday.  Sadly, two of our families are leaving and moving to different states.  Please note there are 2 little girls in this picture-that's it.  If you know anyone wanting to have a son, move here. If they want a girl, join our playgroup. (-:
