Birthday

Well, Ryan would be almost 16 hours old, 2 years ago. It seems like yesterday and I already miss it. He was born today the 21st at 521am. Today he went to school and I took a small cake and cupcakes. He played and had fun. He hasnt been wanting to leave when I pick him up. Its nice because he likes being there. Its a fight to get him to the car. Today I walked down and took his tricycle with me. He rode some and yes, pedaled on his own. Then he walked the rest of the way. It was a long walk for him. We played outside, he helped me plant flowers and we cooked out on the grill. Our neighbor bought a riding lawn mower, so he is going to do that for me this summer. Its awesome. Its a big relief not to have to mow. I done mind it, but trying to watch Ryan and mow at the same time is hard. Its such a big help. So we visited with him and watched him mow. Ryan was very interested. He said next time he would let Ryan ride with him. Ryan will be thrilled. Then our other neighbors came over and Dave took Ryan for a ride in his truck. I think he has everyone wrapped around his finger. We are very lucky to have a great neighborhood. I absolutely love living here. Everyone is so nice and friendly. Everyone helps out and I love it here. Its our home and were Ryan will grow up. So, Ryan was up later than he should have been. Bedtime has been great. He brushes his teeth and we go into his room and he lays down on his pillow, I give him a kiss and he goes to sleep. I am lucky. The problem is going to be this weekend when I get rid of the pacifier. He is only getting it at nap time and bedtime but its time to let it go. I think its going to be very hard. A sleepless weekend is on its way. We have pictures on Saturday. I have our clothes ready and am looking forward to the session. Kara does great pictures. Other than that we will be outside planting flowers and trying to get the yard looking good. The swingset isnt done yet. We have had some delay. We need to move it again and it will take about 7 guys to get it moved. Lord only knows when that will happen. Im ready for it to be done so Ryan can start playing on it.
Well, thats all for now. I will try to get the pictures out in the next couple of days. We have been nonstop and I just havent got to it yet. Enjoy the nice weather.
Happy Birthday to Ryan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still cannot believe he is 2.

Love,

The Kunkel's
