Eight Years Old


Happy Birthday to my first baby! Ryan is 8 today. Where has the time gone???? He was a mere 5 lbs. 14 oz. when he came out. How tiny! I remember being so in love yet so overwhelmed with being responsible for someone else. What a blessing having him has been.
Some friends of ours happened to offer us four Gopher/Sioux tickets for Friday's big game. Thad, Ryan, Corey, and Parker are going. Kate has her holiday dance recital so we will stay back. Anyway that caused me to switch his birthday present. I ended up getting him a gift card to Scheels so he could choose the jersey he would wear to the game. Thad is a die hard Gophers fan. Ryan has been but is caving to the pressure from the neighbor boys. So he choose....SIOUX! Poor Thad.....

Oh my word. How is it that you have an 8 year old? That means you were a mere 23 or 24 when you had him? That's crazy! I actually remember talking to you at Kristi's parent's house about having a baby and nursing, etc. That seems SO LONG AGO. Is his birthday the 5th? That was either Tara and Tiff's birthday or Ryan Kraft's. I actually remember that from grade school. Maybe I haven't fried every brain cell.

Happy Birthday to Ryan! I remember when you were first pregnant and you came to stay with dave and i in Shoreview. If we only had known back then what our lives would be like now.
