Happy 9th Birthday Jacob!

Finally...after 14 extra days, an auntie's visit came and went, a failed induction and lots of pitocin and forceps... Jacob entered the world on May 25, 2001.

Here he was on his first trip to NJ for Thanksgiving that year. Look at all those teeny, tiny cousins! Now there's several more and the ones in the picture are almost all grown up!



Some of my other favorite pics...



And lastly, his most recent school picture. Sigh. WHY???!?!!!!! WHY I must ask, do you make a kid stand in a lumberjack pose when he has a faded temporary tattoo on one arm and jeans on? Had we known it was a full body shot I would have scrubbed that spot on his arm and dressed him up a bit more. And the pained look on his face is not how he usually smiles. He looks like he's constipated. I'm so annoyed at the people who take these pictures! Lifetouch?!?! I'm talking about you!



We brought cookie cakes up to school today and will head to BJ's for dinner tonight. I will set up his party for sometime in the next two weeks. It's always challenging around Memorial day to get his friends there. Maybe later in life his birthday will be the party everyone goes to on Memorial Day weekend!

Happy Birthday Jacob!
