Ryan Patrick Powers
- turned 3 today
- I spent 14 months with this little guy--we saw each other every day
- he called me "tay-tay" and I called him "ry-ry"
- we spent many of our days playing with play-dough, watching mickey mouse clubhouse,swimming at the club, playing make believe kitchen, and play-dates with friends.


















Ryan Jenkins Neeley
- turned 21 yesterday
- 2 years: seeing each other almost every day--2 years: writing letters, emails, and talking on the phone 3 times
- he would often call me swunie (sweetie + honey = swunie)--cheesy but funny
- we loved to play phase 10 and sequence, go on tandem bike rides, and eat out at our favorite restaurants (fredricos, juniper take out, firehouse)

oh how I wish I could be with them on their birthdays

I.miss.them.
