She Will Be Loved

Ryan was again in her element yesterday evening. After playing outside with the neighbors, or "her sisters", as she calls them she was met with an onslaught of some of her favorite grownups. We had a Rally Party for the Astros, and the usual randy bunch was in attendance: us, Lea, Jen, Lalo, & Jeff -- there you go, Jeff, there's your "shout out". :) Ryan had a blast showing off, posing, singing, and just plain being loved on. When asked what her fave part of the night was, she dreamily recalled, "Oh, you know, sitting on top of Daddy's truck with Emma & Addie". Ah, to be 3 once more!! BTW, MY fave part of yesterday was watching Shawn "try" to throw Holly Berries through the gaping hole in Miss Emma's mouth (caused by 1st lost tooth -- for which she apparently earned $3 -- when did the Tooth Fairy hit the jackpot??).
