Happy Birthday, Jacob!

Jacob turned SIX yesterday! We are so very thankful for each birthday we get to celebrate with this precious boy we now call our son. His first few birthdays were happy memories for him, but carried much uncertainty for all the grown-ups in his life. What a beautiful gift to receive his final adoption decree just before his fourth birthday and know he would be part of our family officially.

Jacob is full of life and energy and jokes and sweetness. He loves to be outside, play baseball, read books, cut up paper with scissors, and play card games. We celebrated his birthday with a special family breakfast, presents (Annie bought him chapstick with her own money, Mama and Daddy gave him two Lego sets, a new card game, and a collection of Harry the Dog stories), a dentist checkup, lunch and ice cream at Chikfila, an afternoon with Daddy out at our new land, and dinner and cake! What a day!
