HaPpY 1st BiRtHDaY!!!

Happy Birthday to You! Happy Birthday to You! Happy Birthday Dear Ryland! Happy Birthday to You!

I cannot believe how fast the last 12 months went by. I was in Minneapolis for work this week and our flight back last night was canceled so we had to fly back this morning. I was sad to miss waking up Ryland on his birthday morning but I was able to get home in time to go pick him up from school. And then we had a fun dinner at home and played with all of the new toys from his birthday party last weekend. And before we knew it, it was bedtime. But we did not miss singing him "Happy Birthday" at 9:17 pm on the dot ... he was just asleep during it :)

The Goddard School sent home the cutest birthday cards. The "Pelican" room (which is his old infant room) made him this HUGE birthday card with every one's signature and pictures of Ryland in it from his days in that room. The "Beluga" room (which is his new toddler room) sent home a birthday card with every one's handprints. Getting those cards at school was really the only time during the day that I almost teared up.

This past year has been the BEST. Tab and I love every minute with Ryland and he is constantly making us laugh and keeping us on our toes.
