Happy Birthday Jack Ryan!

Dear Jack,

I can't believe you are turning four years old tomorrow! I was flooded with a wide range of emotions as we sat at Red Lobster with the family (Grammie, Poppy, Uncle Josh, Daddy, Ella, you and me)---a pre-celebration of sorts. Four years ago today, I too was sitting in Red Lobster with Daddy, Uncle Josh and Clint waiting to hear if the hospital would have room for me to begin the first phase of induction. That night nothing but excitement and anticipation filled the air. It's funny because watching you tonight, I felt the exact same thing!

Your are growing so big so fast. Your little mind is a sponge and you are truly coming into you own. The past few years have been a beautiful journey and I eagerly anticipate the years to come. You are sensitive, thoughtful, funny, smart, logical and clean (no messy hands for you)! Your soul is one of the kindest I know and I feel so very blessed to be your mom.When dinner was over we piled into the car. As I fastened your seatbelt you whispered "Mommy your beautiful and I love you". My heart melted. I can't wait too see what's next!


Love you Buddy!
