Jacob's 16th Birthday

Today we celebrate Jacob turning 16. I cannot tell you how proud I am of him - I look at what a kind, gentle, diligent and handsome young man he is, and I am just so thankful that he is part of our family. He has a special love from all of us - Ryan looks up to him as a big brother and wants to be like him, Hannah looks up to him and has a special bond of friendship with him, Indy seems to favor him, and Danny and I are just so proud we could burst. He is a servant who helps me with a joyful heart, he volunteers to help Danny when he sees a need, and we all appreciate his sense of humor! What an asset he is to this family...


He has recently grown a lot - and he got his hair cut short - he just looks so much older! Not to mention he is driving now... that is always such a milestone and makes them seem older.


I got to make his favorite pumpkin cake for him.


You know your little boy is becoming a man when he asks for weights... sigh...


Happy Birthday Jacob! We all love you so much!!
