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!

Valentine's Day treat




Happy Valentine's day. Jacob had a great night. His Nona came to visit us in the bedroom and brought along a little treat for her "precious boy". She had a weight watchers fudge bar that was practically gone, but shared with Jacob. I think he thought he was in heaven. Needless to say we had to brush our teeth quickly and take a bath. Fudge bar everywhere...on Mommy, on the furniture, and in Jacob's hair. Sweet treat for a sweetheart.

Finally.......

the weather was wonderful today so I loaded Jacob up and headed to the local park. As soon as he saw where we were he took off and nothing could stop him.











A group of teenage skaters showed up and he was in awe. I'm in trouble.












Jacob wasn't scared of anything. I was exhausted after 10 minutes of chasing him up stairs, down slides, and through tunnels.











This is Lucy. Her Mommy brought her to the park to play and Jacob loved her new dress.

Poppa time




Jacob loves the outdoors. If he could stay outside all day he would be very happy. His Poppa took him for a wagon ride while he walked his dog. Then we spent some time on the back porch riding his truck. It wasn't all that cold, but he won't go outside w/o his Elmo hat.


Weekend of fun.....












Jacob had a VERY busy weekend. He has never played so hard. Everything is so new to him and it makes me see things as if I had never seen them before. The simplest thing makes him laugh and feel happy. He found this Christmas bag and decided to put it on his head. He kept it there for a long time. If I tried to straighten it for him he's scream.......hee hee.

GRRRRRRRRR




Jacob LOVES tigers and lions. He will growl at all times of the day. As I said before his wonderful babysitter, Ms.Colleen, loaned him two old costumes her sons used. Jacob carries them everywhere he goes. He allowed me to finally put one on today. It lasted 2 minutes.

Brushah Brushah Brushah



Jacob has been brushing his teeth for quite a few months now. He loves it and thinks he is a "big boy" when he can sit on the sink and brush with Mommy. I really can't believe how he has grown. Even seeing him everyday I see how he changes in so many ways. Right now he only lives and breathes Poppa. They have a unique bond that is really precious to watch.

Mac-n-Cheese




Daddy was a wonderful help last night. He fed Jacob and boy did he make a mess. Jacob is learning to use his utensils. After getting the food on the spoon or fork he then takes it off with his hands and shoves it in his mouth. I guess it takes time, huh? Anyway, Daddy took some pictures of the after mass........still a sweetie.
