Happy Birthday Malachy! I cannot imagine the Bryan family without you! You hold a very special place in my heart...you are the only Bryan I have known your WHOLE life. I hope this year is your best one so far!
Love Shawna and all the Barrs
I think I recognize that church made of blocks... "you step outside that door you are never coming back--where's my beer??--you hear me!!!!" happybithday buddy and thank you Mama for making these accessible. I guess I'm next.
Happy birthday Malachy! (and Aidan and Paddy say happy birthday too).
Too bad we can't be there to celebrate as we were on your Year Zero (as Paddy calls it) when you were first born.
Love from Willa and all the Ryans
Happy Birthday KyKy

God bless you!
Love you,

Oh my goodness! Happy birthday, little brother! You look so grownup in all the pictures, and you sound so old over the phone. I remember the day mama brought you home.....and I saw your tiny red ear peeking from beneath your hat.....and I fell in love with my baby brother. Malachy, you are such a blessing to our family. I am so thankful God sent you to us. I hope you have a super wonderful year, my big eight-yr-old.......and don't grow up too fast :)
I love you,
Your "Sissy"
