Happy Birthday Rye Rye

Quick note to Ryan that he can read tomorrow:

I cannot believe you are 14 today.  It seems like just yesterday I was holding you in my arms, reading books to you and singing. I know that stuff embarrasses you now, but you have to know how important those memories are to me as your mom.

I know I am blessed to still have you close to me, but I also see you excercising those wings and preparing to fly. Just remember that I’m always there for you and that I love you with all of my heart.

Wanna see what Ryan is getting for his birthday before he does? It’s been hiding in our room for almost a week now and I am so ready to give it to him already. Are you ready?

It’s a baby bearded dragon. Something he has been wanting for a very long time that in a million years he would never suspect he was getting. Isn’t it cute?

We’re having a picnic for him today with a bunch of our friends and family. Got to go get everything loaded up in the car and give him his surprise.
