Happy Birthday to Ryan!

Ryan turned 7 this month. It is hard to believe he is growing up. It just seems like yesterday we were calling mother and daddy asking what they wanted to be called. Mother was the first responder with Mimi, I am Mimi. And Mimi she is! Daddy on the other hand had a name from Stacy's girls and he decided he would stick with Papaw. We had something to go with Mimi but he declined, so Papaw it is.

One of my favorite memories of Ryan being a baby was when he could lay on the couch with me without falling off. We would take nice long naps. Now it is mom I don't need to sleep!

He is taking Karate and loves it. He has his yellow belt and will test for his orange stripe the end of August. I love to watch him when he is totally focused on his moves. You can see the mind just a working. He got a belt shelf for his birthday. I cant wait to watch as it fills up!

We had a swim party for him at our church. Thankfully the rain held off so they could swim. He had lots of fun with his friends and cousins. We had homemade ice cream cake. It was so yummy we did not take any home!

Thanks to all our friends and family that made his day special.
