PARENTS' WISH OR ADVICE: Ryan, you are the happiest baby we've ever seen. We wish you that happiness the rest of your life! Make time for quiet moments because God whispers and the world is loud. You'll hear him if you listen. He brought us you and we thank him every day for that.
SOMETHING SPECIAL: Mommy and Daddy were amazed by the generosity of their family, friends and co-workers. Mommy's clients at the salon she works at were extremely supportive, generous and patient while she was on maternity leave.
