Ryan Matthew

Today is our 2nd grandchild and first grandson's 22nd birthday.  Where does the time go?  We can't be there to share it with him but I can show you how he's changed and I can tell you a bit about this wonderful young man.

Ryan is a very important part of this large family.

And an even more important part of this smaller family.

Ryan was born right here in Northern Indiana and lived in different parts of this state until he moved to Nebraska about 7 years ago.  And that's where he lives and goes to school now.  Here is Ryan 'through the years'.

Although these pictures show how he's changed through the years, they don't show you what a wonderful person he is.  For example, don't even try to say there's a better air guitar player on New Years Eve.

Or a more loving brother - all the time.

Or a more fun-loving, easy going person anywhere around.

Ryan has been a gift and a joy from the day he was born.  He has an amazing work ethic, a kind and loving heart, and a personality that just draws you in.  We're beyond proud of him and love him more than words can say.  So we're wishing him the best birthday EVER and a year that surpasses this birthday.  

We love you Ryan, and can't wait to see you again.
