TEN

TEN YEARS OLD. TEN??? Seriously? Seriously. WOW. Ryan, you're in the double digits as of today. I've been a mom for 10 years. Hmmm. I should have this mom thing down, shouldn't I? Hmmm.

Ryan, when we prayed for you to come into our lives, we had no idea what to expect. We couldn't love you any more than we do! You are amazing. So smart, talented, funny, loving, goofy and super handsome to boot. You're what they call "the whole package". :-) Not perfect, just perfectly you. God created you--unique, an individual--He has a big plan for you, Ry! I can't wait to see what it is.

You @ 10: Video games rock your world, love math, into Pokeman, cartoonist, 4th grader, purple belt in karate, 78 pounds, almost 5 feet tall, let me cut your hair but you're liking it long, avid reader, pumped that you got a Nintendo DS (you're welcome), dig the trampoline, Eragon fan, Lego & Bionicle fan, birthday dinner at Rainforest Cafe, planning a sleepover.
