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!

11 months and I already feel like he is a young man. I'm trying to be excited about him turning one. It's a wonderful thing, but I can't help but miss those early days with him. He is such an amazing blessing in our lives and we can't begin to express how thankful we are he is surrounded by so much love. Not just from us, but his family all around.

Hair cut???


This weekend my brother kept commenting on Jacob's hair. We went to the pool and after we finished putting sunscreen in his hair I saw how long his hair really is. But I just can't bring myself to cut it. I mean I'm already letting Jacob try to walk. What more do ya'll want from me? Hee heee!

















Jail bird




With a house full of dogs we put a gate up to protect THEM from Jacob. He loves them and doesn't quite understand why they don't like their tails and ears pulled. So, I took this picture of him coz he looked like he was in jail and if you could have heard him you might think he was in jail.

Stefan visits.










Our cousin Stefan is here for a few weeks and Jacob couldn't be happier. He lights up when Stefan comes into the room. They're buddies now.

Rub-a-dub





I know that one day Jacob will want to KILL me for posting pictures like this, but I can't control myself. He loves the tub and looks forward to it nightly.
