Here's what Jesse and Ryan did in 1997. watch for an update soon to see their antics from 1998!!

Jesse and Ryan had a great year with the best part being in the summer. Here they are in Aunt Moppy and Uncle Ken's backyard in Fenwick. In January, Ryan celebrated his third birthday with all his friends at McDonald's (That great American institution).

In February, we went to Disney world with Grandma and Grandpa and boy did we have fun! In March, They started collecting Beanie Babies!! The collection of Beanies is now 100!! (Anybody know where we can get a Princess Dianna Beanie?!) In May, Jesse celebrated his 5th Birthday at our community beach with all of his friends. The theme was sharks. In June, July, and September, the whole family spent most of our free time at the Severn River Swim club. Jesse started swimming in 10 feet of water and could go off the diving board (the low dive....) Ryan took off his water wings and can dive down and pick up stuff from the bottom.

In September, Jesse entered kindergarten and also joined the local soccer team. His team was the "Tornados"!!! In October, we were very sad that we lost Grandma.

Jesse and Ryan LOVE candy, so they were looking forward to Halloween all year! We asked the boys what they were thankful for at Thanksgiving. Ryan said he was thankful for PICKLES, and Jesse was thankful for SPIDERMAN!
