Just count those candles -- 5! Our Jacob is growing up so quickly! He was so excited for his birthday that he started a count down about two weeks ago and starting crossing out each day on the calendar till his birthday. We celebrated his birthday by going to Lagoon for the day with Grandma V., Sarah, David, and Eric. Jacob rode tons of rides and loved everything. When we got home we had pizza, lemonade, watermelon and chocolate cake with ice cream. Grandpa V. and Alan & Heidi's family joined us all for dinner and present opening, so Jacob really knew he was having a party. Here are a few other snapshots of Jacob's celebration:
Mark & I always think of Jacob as our miracle boy, for more reasons than I will share here on the blog, but he spent some time in the NICU when he was born because he got fluid in his lungs and had a hard time breathing and getting enough oxygen. I was also very sick after he was born and wasn't allowed in the NICU to see him -- that was hard. He was also a "rainbow" baby, because he was born after Cole died. I believe that
ALL babies are miracles, but it just seemed there were some special circumstances surrounding Jacob's birth into our family. He is a good natured fun little person that we are very grateful to have in our family! Happy Birthday Jacob!!

I've got to figure out how to make those picture collages - they're nifty! Thanks for having us up. Send me the cake recipe and I'll post it (eventually) on Food for Thought.
