It occurred to me a couple weeks ago that I haven’t given my newest cousin a proper Welcome to this World! via this blog. What a terrible cous-aunt I am! So, Micah, this one’s for you…
Micah Bryce was born April 21, 2008 and clocked in at 6 pounds, 9 ounces and 20 3/4 inches tall. His name means Who is Like God? and having lived my entire life with the middle name Michal, I have no clue what that means, but I do know that I love that name. So much so that I was thinking about naming my firstborn son Micah. My Aunt Leslie and Uncle Bryce beat me to it, but it’s all good…I’m just glad someone in our family has that name!
Micah, I’m sorry for being a slacker and forgetting to wish you a happy birthday, like, two and a half months ago. Your mom can attest to the fact that I’ve been a little busy and self-involved these days. She may remember that time I talked to her for 45 minutes and got off the phone without wishing her a happy birthday. Yeeeaaah. To my credit, I had just gotten engaged two days before, but still! Just terrible. You will learn about your mother that she is a wonderful and patient and loving woman. What a lucky boy you are.
Micah, I can’t wait to meet you at the wedding in 82 days! Be prepared to shake your groove thang! Oh, and what kind of beer do you like? I’ll make sure we have it on tap.
thanks for the shout-out to our little guy! i love the photo you posted. can’t wait for you to meet micah and to see you at your wedding in 82 days! holy crap – it’s coming up soon! so exciting. love you! -leslie
