We are BACK!
After our MONTH long vacation, I made it home just in time for a little someones birthday. I couldn't WAIT! Our baby girl, who isn't so baby-ish anymore celebrated her 7th birthday on Wednesday. I have looked forward for this birthday EVERYDAY for the past 2.5 months.
Why you ask?
I guess I am jumping the gun of future posts, but Ryan made videos for the kids for special birthdays/milestones. When Ryan was making the videos, Hallie's birthday was right around the corner. He knew he probably wouldn't still be here for her birthday and he wanted to be sure she would have a special surprise from him, so he made a video for her 7th birthday.
I am so grateful Ryan took the time to make these special gifts and memories for the children. I know they will be forever grateful...
***
Ryan adored his baby girl and they both shared a special bond. I'm not sure if it was because she was the firstborn, a girl or just his little princess? But one thing I do KNOW for sure is that
Hallie will ALWAYS be a Daddy's girl
Told ya:
L.O.V.E

Wednesday morning came and I woke up with butterflies in my stomach. I was SO excited for Hallie to enjoy the special gift from her father and so excited to see the love of my life again. I couldn't wait to hear Ryan's voice, hear the advice and words of love he would give Hallie and most of all, to see Hallie's reaction...
When Ryan made the videos he went into the room and taped them alone. While he was taping, we put a note on the door to be quiet and Hallie remembered back to that time. As she was looking at the DVD and with a BIG smile on her face, she said, "Is this the videos that Dad was making? Is Dad on here?"
She was very EXCITED, although I think I was just a TAD bit more than her... (I could have easily gone and watched all the videos but have chosen to wait and watch them as they are given)
...the ANTICIPATION
Ry!!!!!
I had no idea what he was going to say, but he had lots of advice for Hallie for this upcoming year with school and preparing for her Baptism. He talked about when she was born and the love he has for her... it was wonderful, absolutely wonderful!
We smiled BIG ole' smiles, shed some tears and just enjoyed seeing, hearing and loving our Ryanstone.
Oh how we miss him, but what a WONDERFUL gift he left for all of us.

It was now time for yummiest part of the day... time to
~Make a WISH~
Happy 7th Birthday Sweets, you deserved the best day...
...I hope it was all that and more.
LOVE you,
Mom

What an awesome idea!! What better gift to give your kids than to still have them grow up with dad.

I hope it was the best birthday. I love being able to continue to read about your family and how things are going. Thanks for still sharing!
hi, found you thru blog luxe award... I started blogging this November and one of my first posts was to inspire men and women to write letters to their children about their love for them , how proud they are and about their birthdays and or being born,...lots of people called me morbid... but I feel it's important.. and then tonight I stumble on your beautiful blog and beautiful daughter...and I sit crying but am thrilled about him leaving the children cd's for milestones and a chance to get a glimpse... of him again.. my dad died suddenly of a heart attack in 2003 and i wish he had left me a note, cd or anything more than my minds memories... I will be placing you on my blog roll...
