About Me

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!

Halloween 2009





Jacob was the friendly neighborhood ghost this Halloween. I have no idea how he even new what a ghost was, (daycare I am assuming). He wasn't thrilled with his handmade costume, but in the end it worked and he was pleased to have a large amount of candy. Karen brought Ellen and Matthew to meet us in Statham so that made it even better for him.

Jacob's new bike.....




I have not been able to post pictures because my usb cord was sliced in half.....I am finally able to post pictures of Jacob's birthday bike. You would never know he was once afraid of this bike. Now he goes so fast I think I am having a heart attack.

Long Christmas 2009











What a great time we had this year at the annual Long Family christmas. Mom had it at her house and it turned out great. Jacob loved haing his cousins surrounding him.

Jacob's 3rd birthday

Jacob celebrated a belated birthday on Sunday. He turned three on September 29th, but we couldn't get the whole family together until yesterday. Jacob had so much fun and loved all of his gifts. We know how blessed we are to have Jacob in our lives and want to make sure we share the joy he brings us with all of you.









Many thanks to everyone who has helped me the past three years in raising a precious child like Jacob. I know that I did not do this on my own and so I give thanks to the people in our life that contributed in making Jacob the sweet child he is.

Go Doggs!

We went to see Cole play last night against Monroe. Jacob had the time of his life. His daddy bought him a Georgia shirt to wear and Jacob kept calling it his Cole shirt. He really loved the band, which was also called Cole's band.
PS- WInder won !!!!

Gymboree

Jacob's little friend, Abby, had her birthday party on Saturday at Gymboree. Jacob loved the fun of climbing over everything, but when it came time to sit down and do activities together he got grumpy. Maybe we should have forced a nap? The little blonde in front of him on the steps is Ava (Aba) and Jacob adores her.
