birthday boys ...

when i was pregnant, the song "You'll be Blessed" by Elton John would always reduce me to tears ... it hasn't always been easy being a parent, but i would not change my 'job' for the world ...

but how did my baby get to be ELEVEN? ... so this day's blog is all about jake ...
jake has been a blessing since birth ... easy pregnancy, relatively easy birth (if there is such a thing), after we convinced him that we'd all be much happier if he slept at night, we got along great ...

 ... so here's 11 years of jake ...

jake, we are blessed ... you are a boy who loves reading, Zatch Bell, your friends, reading, did I mention reading, soccer, piano, cello, school, reading, building Lego, swimming, skiing, hiking, cub scouts, reading ...
all great traits ... i wish for you a happy year ...
and i love you more ...

... let there be cake ...
