(Jacob - less than a week old, sleeping peacefully while Brianna cherishes the moment :) )
Wow! 6 years has flown by so quickly!!! I continue to find myself reminiscing about how Jacob was once a newborn, and now, he is a very intelligent, fun to be around little guy. It has definitely been a joy to watch him grow the past 6 years, but I worry that time is going too quickly! Although Jacob may be a child who really doesn't do well in crowds or with strangers (which we have found, is basically just his personality), he has never failed to give us humor! A few of our favorites are:
During one of our trips to visit my parents, we happened to stop in Winston Salem (before we moved) for dinner before the trip. Wachovia Bank happens to be the largest building in the city. At this time, the building was lit up very nicely for Christmas. Suddenly, Jacob informs us that "hey, there is a booby building! You can get pink ones, blue ones or brown ones (the different colors on the building). At first I couldn't beleive what I just heard but he was very happy to repeat to me what he had said. I have to admit, while this may not be funny to some, we couldn't help but laugh. We have heard it called several other names!
(from left to right, not quite sure, RJ Reynolds, Winston Tower (my office), Federal Building, another unkown business, BB&T bank, and of course, the famous "booby" building)
Just last night at dinner, Isaac accompanied Jacob to the restroom at Chili's. During the walk to the restroom, Jacob asked Isaac "Isaac, can I say hi to a real woman? I won't tell her to kiss me!" It makes me wonder what the difference is between a "real woman" and just your typical female.
Thanks for the wonderful laughs son!
Happy Birthday Jacob!!! We love you!
