We're Home (kind of...)

I just wanted to jump on the computer quick and update everyone on how Ryder is doing. We made it home (to the motor home) yesterday and things have been going really smooth. Ryder is the easiest baby ever so far! We spent the afternoon napping in the motor home while Grammy (my mom), Grandpa, and Grandma (Derrik's mom) all went out and fetched everything we needed for the baby on the road yesterday. We have everything we could possibly need at home in the Cape, but needed quite a bit to survive the next week away from home. After we got some rest in we dressed Ryder for his first outing for some dinner at Chili's. For everyone who said eating out with a baby was hard they were wrong... he slept through the whole dinner. I don't think he even knows he left the motor home. When we got home we fed and changed him to get into bed around 11 pm. He woke up twice in the night for about an hour a piece to eat and be changed, but other then that didn't make a peep! I know we're getting away with everything pretty easy so far, but we're enjoying it!

Tina had to leave first thing this morning to get back to her little ones, but we were so glad she got to spend the first few days with us! Derrik is off getting an MRI on his arm right now for precautionary reasons to make sure his arm is just sore for the off season and not hurt. He will hear from the team doctor tomorrow and then we will find out if we can head home or hang out here until season ends on Monday. Keep your fingers crossed the Reds feel for us and just send us home early, but I doubt it. Until we get news Grammy, Grandpa, Auntie Ally, and Auntie Hailey are hanging out with us keeping us company. Uncle Ryan flies in tomorrow night and Ryder can not wait to meet him!

I'm going to try to get some pictures on here before Ryder wakes up... he sleep about two hours strait and I have about twenty minutes left. Hopefully I can get them on quick!! We'll try to keep the updates coming. Thanks once again to everyone for the phone calls and e-mails. We can't wait to see everyone :)

Love Always,
Derrik, Danielle, and Ryder :)
