Happy Birthday Michael

~1995~

Michael Ryan Brown was born March 7, 1995. He weighed 7lbs 15 ozs at birth.

When I was about 4 month pregnant, we found out we were going to have a BOY! We were so excited. Finally, a boy after 3 beautiful girls. We elected not to tell ANYONE that we were having a boy until the day he was born. I warned everyone in advance not to believe anything Steve said concerning the sex of the baby during the pregnancy. He loves to tease. Grandma must not of heard my pleas. She made him a lovely PINK silky blanket and brought it to the hospital. When she realized she had been spoofed, she was kind enough to save the PINK one for another grand-baby and make Michael a beautiful BLUE one. It became his favorite blanket.

Happy 15th!

To start Michael's birthday off we went to Texas Road House Saturday night for dinner. Steak is one of his favorite foods. When the song "Our Song", by Taylor Swift came on, our entire table serenaded everyone at the restaurant. Fortunately, there was lots of noise and distractions that night. Even the little kids knew every word. Not sure that's a good thing.

Sunday was his actual birthday. I made his favorite meal, Sweet and Sour Chicken, and invited the Grandparents over. The kids decorated his room, and he opened lots of great gifts. He got some lovely plaid shorts (Steve used to refer to them as party pants) from his sisters.

Mike is an amazing young man. He is fun, charming, a great brother, and wonderful son. We love you Michael, Happy 15th.
