Can it Be??

Can it be eleven years since I went to the hospital at 6 in the morning to deliver my first baby??
Could it have possibly been that long??
Eleven years???
Really??
Jake is such a blessing to me.
He is honest,
full of integrity,
loyal to his friends/family,
dedicated to his schoolwork and his sports,
friendly to the friendless,
compassionate to those who are less fortunate,
sympathetic with the broken hearted,
and, most importantly, deeply in love with his Savior.

I am truly so proud to be his mother and I do not take any credit for how amazing he is.

God has a purpose for this young man and I am so privileged to be a part of his life.Happy Eleventh Birthday to my sweet, sweet Jake.

"For you created my inmost being: you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
Ps. 139:13-14

    I was in Williams Sonoma with my mom yesterday! Love that store. I saw the pumpkin butter... :)
    I got a knife from there.. super sharp! I nearly cut my finger off slicing hotdogs last night. Yes, I said HOT DOGS. ;)

  2. . . . and you didn't buy the pumpkin butter? ;)
    HOT DOGS?? We are going to roast hot dogs with some of Jake's buddies on Sat. Have you tried the Oscar Meyer kind with no nitrates or nitrates (or whatever) . I think they are called the Angus ones. You can get them at Target.
