As a mother, I would love to think that in my 28 years of raising children I 'd taught them many things of great worth. Whether or not that is true remains to be seen, BUT one thing I do know for sure is that in those same 28 years...I have definately learned A LOT from raising my children. Here are some of the things I've learned from Raising Bryan!
I've learned that going through 48 hours of labor was even harder on Bryan than it was on me.
I've learned that it's humbling to have a two year old child that is more articulate than you.
I've learned that a toy can be taken apart piece by piece, but not necessarily every piece gets put back in.
I've learned that SUPERMAN really does stand for "Trufh, jistice, and the Merican Way!"

I've learned that even your "honor student" can come home at 2:00 AM with a police escort.
I've learned that my sons outgrow clothes and toys, but they never outgrow video games.

Ive learned that a "Ferrari Laptop" is about as reliable as a "Ferrari Enzo"...they both CRASH!
I've learned that it really does pay to teach your son to be a gentleman.
I've learned that being a gentleman is not just appreciated by his mother, but also by his wife.

I've learned that you can have four sons that are completely different and yet they all get along famously.
I've learned that my love and appreciation for Halloween is carried on through my son.
I've also learned that my son can make a much better Halloween costume than I can!
I've learned that as happy as my son may have been growing up, it doesn't compare to the happiness he felt when he got married.
I've learned that determination will get you far...especially in dental school!
I've learned that no matter how old your children get or how far away they move, they always have a BIG piece of your heart!
Happy BirthdayBryan...Happy AnniversaryBry and Bre! I love you!

I loved this!! I love that I know all the stories behind these. Like the reason it took me a week to check this is because my computer is being held hostage due to a "crashed ferrari." I can never thank you enough for what you have given to me in your son, and for what you continue to give to me as apart of your family (although an offereing of a grandchild might come close :o). You are the most generous kind hearted person I have ever met, and I can only hope to have some of your atributes rub off on me. I hope you know how much your son (and me) admires, honors, and just plain loves you. Family really is the best isn't it, and really at the end of the day what it is all about! I am so glad to be apart of this family.
Mom, I can't even tell you how much this post made me smile. You are so cute! And truly all the things that were listed were fond memories for me and growing up (maybe coming home with the police at 2:00 AM isn't exactly a "fond" memory, but it made me laugh none the less). I am so greatful for our family and what we have together. It is so true about me and my brothers, we are quite a bit different from each other, but I am hard pressed to find a group of guys that I get along better with than them. I am so greatful for all that you have given me as a Mother, er . . . I mean "THE" mother! I am greatful for all the lessons I have learned from you. And many of the good things that I have accomplished could never have been done without you! I love you! Bre and I had a great anniversary celebration/date on monday, and she is right, we really are so greatful to be a part of this family.
Love,
Bryan
