Eight Great Years

It was eight years ago today that Jacob joined our family. His arrival was a surprise since he came three weeks early (my first son was induced out two days late so we didn't expect to see Jacob for a few weeks). He was my tiniest baby weighing in at 7 lbs. 15 oz. at 37 WEEKS. He has always been full of surprises. Life is never dull with Jacob in the house.

When Jacob was a baby, I affectionately referred to him as my lil punkin or Jake. He prefers to go by Jacob, but would probably let you call him Jacob the Jedi. As a toddler he was a total Harry Potter fan. I was one of the mothers that let her two year old watch the movie over and over again. His loyalties moved to Star Wars & he has gone through several lightsabers - some with sounds and lights and a variety of colors. Today he is a Pokemon collector and LOVES video games.
