7

Seven years ago today we took our first family picture with Jake. Every day of the past seven years we have loved him more than we ever imagined we were capable of, and more than we could ever completely express. It so amazing that words we have used to describe Jake have been the same since the beginning. Extremely obsevant...likes to watch and absorb. Perfectionist. Sensitive. Does not like to be alone. Verbal. Hates loud noises. Sweet and caring. Free with affection.

The past seven years have flown by. I pray that the next seven don't. As challenging as it is to be a mom, it is well worth every tear and frustration and headache. And I want to drink in and savor every moment.

We love you J-man. You are an incredible blessing.

We went to Scotty P's tonight at birthday boys request, fell off our diet for the night and had some yummy cheese fries and burgers. Then on to strawberry cake and presents. It was a good night.
