Seven years ago today, I was in labor with our first child. I had an ultrasound and we were told that we were expecting a boy. I was even dreaming about a dark-haired boy!
His due date was supposed to be mid-
Marchish.
We were told: "Prepare for blue and green!" and "Think of boy names!"
Well! After a long labor and delivery, our first beautiful child was born. As I took this gorgeous newborn baby in my arms, I realized something:
My new baby had just pulled the ultimate April Fool's Joke!
On April 1, 2002 at 7:32pm my baby was born. It was a
girl. A beautiful baby girl! And we named her
Ryanna after her wonderful Daddy, Ryan. Oh, Happy Day! She shares this special day with my great-grandmother. It's also Nana's birthday, but she passed away before
Ryanna came into the world. I'm sure they knew each other in Heaven though!

Wow! I loved that walk down memory lane...sniff. And the music is so beautiful. She is an amazing kid. Can't believe that she is 7 today. Happy Birthday, sweet Ryanna. Thanks for reading me books when I call, thanks for teaching me how to play chess, and thanks for being my sweet friend. I love you! And miss you. Hope you have a really Happy Birthday! We'll call you later!
Love, Grammie, Grandad and Uncle Aaron
