Happy 7th Birthday Ryanne!

Happy 7th birthday crazy girl! You have been a surprise from the get go.
You were born a month early

You were so small and quiet we thought for sure that was who you were.

Then you turned 3 and you became this little curly blond ball of fiery energy.

You like to do things to get a reaction and a reaction you often get. LOL!

You are super petite but we like to call you "fun size."

You LOVE people and anyone with any sense loves you right back. :)

You NEVER show up empty handed when we are going to visit friends or family or someone is coming over. You always color them pictures or give something from your own room to your friends. You are very thoughtful.

We say you are our one liner and big word child. You come up with the craziest stuff.

Sometimes all your energy makes you misunderstood but because of that daddy and I have a soft spot and are very protective of you. We know some day you are going to rule the world! Or at the very least take it by storm. :)

You love your sister and so the fact that she spent her own money to buy you your first American Girl baby doll for your birthday has blessed you beyond belief. You LOVE this doll.

Ryanne, I can honestly say never in my life have I laughed or cried so hard all in the same day. I have never clung so desperately to Gods promise to not give us more than we can handle and at the same time I have looked in the mirror and seen so many of the same characteristics in myself.
You love life. You tend to be a bit impulsive. You are joyful. You love a good adventure. You find happiness in the smallest things; like bugs and homemade ice cream. You question everything which I am certain will make you wise and stronger in the Lord one day. Nobody has ever told you that you can't do something....you will find a way. If it can be climbed, jumped off of or driven you will do it. You LOVE shoes....primarily flip flops. :) You eat EVERYTHING and I mean everything! Fruits, veggies, fish, hummus, salads are your
favorite and so are avocados.
Your laugh is contagious and rolls out of you so easily. You try to be tough and you hate to cry in front of people.
You love to hug and kiss people and the dogs, the cats, the bugs & frogs you catch...........
Ryanne, we never planned on another baby but God knew better. He gave us you as his promise to us. A promise that life will NEVER again be boring, without weekly injury's, without belly laughs, 100's of flip flops, chicklet colored girly toes, questions so random even I can't wrap my brain around them and just enough mellow in you that we get to cuddle on occasion.
We love you our little blonde ball of energy!
Love Daddy, Mommy and Morgan
