Easter in Connecticut

We drove up to Darien Ct. for a quick visit to Lesley, Marc, Kincaid and now Cormac, over the easter weekend. This was our first introduction to Cormac.

It was a horrible drive on a Friday afternoon with several lengthy delays and heavy traffic all the way. Kincaid was in bed but Cormac was up to greet us when we arrived. What follows are some photos from the weekend.

Saturday it rained all day and Easter Sunday it was cold so our excursions included only a quick run to the park and some grocery shopping. Nonetheless it was a great visit and we just loved being around these two great kids! (...and their parents, of course).

The Ryan Family has grown!

After years of wondering if we would have to buy a dog to keep us company in our old age Noelle & Stuart and Lesley & Marc have stepped up to the challenge and given us grandchildren numbers 2 and 3. Liam was born in Toronto on March 1st while Cormac, brother to Kincaid, waited a little longer and was born in Connecticut March 19th. Of all the players, Donna and David were the most exhausted!

Donna visited Liam shortly after birth while David waited a week before going up to take a look. We are off to meet Cormac over Easter weekend. While it is hard to say in the first weeks, Liam definitely looks more like a Nodell than a Ryan, while Cormac may finally have some of the Ryan genes. Whomever they look like, we are thrilled and will start fielding enquiries from NHL scouts in a couple of years.
