HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATRICK


Patrick Ryan, what a guy


13 years ago on 29 April 1996, we got a phone call, just at eight a.m., hi mom and dad, I am in the hospital. Well, we already had the van packed, so we closed up the house and headed out for Longview, Texas. Boy, what a ride. We stopped one time to grab a small box of crackers to eat with the cold cuts, and didn't stop again until we got to the hospital. We just knew that Patrick Ryan would have already arrived. The slow little booger, he lingered in his nice warm cocoon until the doctors finally decided he needed some help to arrive. He was extracted at 11:07 p.m., weighing in at 8 lbs. 10 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. What a boy, and he is still a boy thirteen years later.

We are so proud of you Patrick. The picture of him was taken at his science fair this year. He got to go to state and what an honor that was, even tho he didn't win first or second place this time, like before.

Mom and Dad now have a teenager, hang in there guys, this to will soon pass. :)

He was born by cesarean, (I hope it is spelled right) section. Thought you might wonder about that.

Have a great birthday Patrick. See you Friday.
Love, Mema
