CeLeBr8!

On May 18th - Jacob will be 8 years old.

Jake,

I love you so much and hope you have a gr8 birthday!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

I am so thankful that God made me a mom!

Even from a young age it was my desire "just" to be a mom!

This is my first Mother's Day with Megan.

May 5, 1996

This was also one of my first times holding her.

I had to wait about one month to hold her.

She started out so tiny - we would have to hold her "kangaroo" style.
She weighed in at 2 pounds!

We tried for a long time to have Caleb and FINALLY

he came to us on July 4th, 1999.

He truly was our little firecracker!

He weighed in at 8 pounds and 9 ounces.

Jacob was a complete surprise for more than one reason!

The main reason being . . .

the doctor said that he was 98% sure we were having a girl.

So all along we planned on little Emily . . .

and were we surprised when a 10 pound baby Jacob was born!
