Hi everyone,
I know it's been forever, but my computer is dead. I can't even start it anymore. I'm at my parents house, and thought I'd leave a quick post for you all. Today we had a luau for Ryken-He's one today! I can't believe it went so fast. He's saying a few more words, and can take about 6 steps in a row now. He's got a fun personality coming through, and he's definately keeping me on my toes. We had a great Hawaiian party, and he got totally spoiled. Now he's partied out, and it's time for bed. My sister-in-law had a baby boy this morning! He and Ryken will be sharing birthdays from now on I guess. She beat me too... Hudson was 9lbs, 12 oz! It was a little freaky going to the hospital to visit her, exactly one year from when we were there with Ryken. It all seems so fresh in my memory still, but then again it seems likes he's been here so long. My baby! Sigh... getting so big, but still so small... I love him so.
Elena stayed with us for one month. She was a great friend for Ryken, and totally fit in with our family. It was a great experience for us, and I'm so glad we met her. She went back to Spain today, and I made a small srapbook for her to remeber us by. She was so touched and she started crying it was so sweet. She didn't want to leave, and was so sad to say goodbye to Ryken. We're going to keep in touch through e-mail, and blogs. Elena, if you read this, we'll miss you!
Elena and Ryken at his birthday. The best of friends!
