Hard to believe, as I write this, that a year ago at this time, I had never held Ryan! Can’t believe how quick this year has gone by…it seemed like Zachary’s first year lasted forever…I guess that is how it goes as your family grows!

We got a big party planned for Saturday but his actual birthday is today. He has changed our lives with his smiles, his desire to try new things (he is in a HURRY to grow up), his eating habits (everything…he begs!), and his walking all over the house. He has made Zachary a great older brother (they are beginning to play together more and more) and he been such a good baby that Jeanine and I are still half way seriously contemplating more (which is a good thing!).

And, absolutely one of my highlights each day, is coming home, kissing Jeanine, and playing with my 2 boys and having a blast laughing together…

Happy Birthday Ryan! We love you!
