8

I cannot wrap my brain around the idea that I have an 8 year old. It is so cliche that it pains me to write it but it really does seem like yesterday that I was at Lake Pointe surrounded by my family and closest friends holding this little dude and just drowning in love. Jake, you are such an amazing kid. You are scary smart, sensitive, hard-headed, very observant, funny, beautiful, loving, a bit of a mess, the spitting image of your daddy (that's a good thing, by the way), a great big brother and cousin, and a pretty incredible athlete. You have taught your daddy and me so much...and we still have a lot to learn. We love you more than you will ever know and we are so thankful that God chose us to be your parents. Happy birthday J-man!
