About Me

My photo
Welcome to our family blog. We created this blog so that our family here and in Egypt can share with us in the joy of having Jacob in our lives. It's very hard for us to have family so far away and we want them to see Jacob grow and know him well. We miss them all and can't wait to see you very soon. Enjoy!

Ellen's birthday

We celebrated Ellen turning 14 on Sunday. Jacob went swimming and even rode around on a four-wheeler with his cousins. Jacob sure does love his cousins. Happy Birthday Ellen.

Growing up....



Wow, sometimes it really hits me how much Jacob is growing. I feel like he is so much closer to thirteen than four. Tonight we were leaving to grab a bite to eat with my Mom and he opened the car, jumped in the driver's side, and said, "Hand me the keys Mom so I can get it started." Everytime he does something like that my heart pounds. I just know he is going to grow up and leave me. All little boys eventually leave their Moms..

Jacob and Bryce






Bryce came to visit and we took the opportunity to have the "cousin" pictures made. Jacob loved every minute of it. He is in love with Bryce.

6 years and counting

Ashraf and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary this weekend. We stayed at this amazing hotel and relaxed!
