Happy Birthday Ryan Michael!

Today my baby boy turns 5!!!! It's hard to imagine him as that teeny, colicky peanut who came into the world just 5 years ago. He's still pretty small and he's still very loud so I guess not much changes! We got donuts for breakfast and he picked Chick-fil-A for lunch and then we will have dinner and open presents when daddy gets home. Here's a picture of him today and the pirate scene he made in his new sandbox (thanks Andrew & Brendan)!

** Update... Ry changed his mind and we ate lunch at Nifty Fifty's instead. After yummy hot dogs, fries and a milkshake, our waitress surprised us all by bringing Ryan a special sundae and announcing his birthday to the entire place and having them all sing to him! I wish I had a camera because he was so proud at that moment! Then after dinner tonight he opened his presents... a big Power Ranger from Emma and the Home Alone DVD, a huge dump truck and the Black and Decker work bench from Mommy and Daddy. He even made a sign for it that says 'We're Closed', with Daddy's help, for when he isn't working. And he answers the play phone with 'Hello, this is Ryan's Workshop dot com!' I think maybe we are on the computer a bit too much....
