Happy 4th Birthday Precious Boy!!

Today is Bryce's 4th birthday. It's so hard to believe that it's been 4 years since I first laid eyes on that precious little man. The whole grandparenting thing was so new to us all then--we had no idea how great it was going to be. Then, we meet Bryce and find out that God had given us the best he had to offer. What a wild ride this last 4 years has been. I have told him for quite some time that he is "Nana's Precious Boy"....well, since Collin has arrived, he's Nana's precious big boy (altough I'm pretty sure Collin is going to catch up with him soon!!). The day Bryce was born, Lois and I went down to the hospital with Tom at about 6:00 a.m.--we certainly didn't want to miss anything!! We actually had a great time hanging out, waiting for him to arrive. Of course, we had no way of knowing that it would be a good 18 hours later that he would make his appearance. The last 4 years have gone by so quickly, yet I have so enjoyed the years and the time I've been able to spend with Bryce.

Here is Bryce today after getting home from his special day out with Mommy and Daddy. They took him to Petland to get him an aquarium for his birthday. He got multi-colored rocks for his aquarium and 4 goldfish (because he turned 4). They took him to lunch at Applebee's and to Kroger to pick up balloons for his party and for cupcakes to take to his class tomorrow at school.
Here's Bryce with his aquarium--he can't wait to show it to Papaw tonight when we get there for his party. I'm sure I'll have pictures tomorow to post from his party. So, today, on September 22, 2008----HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY BRYCE!! I love you so much Buddy. Can't wait for your party tonight.
