Collage 1: At a March 6 party for his friends at the Mount Morris Bowling Alley. The kids used wheelchair ramps to help get the balls rolling. Jack is in love with Scooby Doo right now and yes, that is the Mystery Machine on his cake. It only took me an hour. :) The kids had a great time, but we decided their attention spans end after about six frames.
Collage 2: And from the family party on his birthday, March 7. In the photos, Sophie, Hannah and her boyfriend, Mike, Aubrey and her boyfriend, Brandon.
He was the baby I always wanted, the little boy I dreamed about. He came two days late, after 16-hours of labor. He had colic and screamed for pretty much six months. He was a poor sleeper. But, he grew out of all this and turned into just the most amazing kid.
It isn't hyperbole. He honestly amazes me. He can drop kick a soccer ball and write all his letters in order. He is starting to sight read words. He is obsessed with books on CD. He will listen to them for hours. He has a budding sense of humor although he hasn't exactly figured out just how to properly tell a joke. He loves kisses and hugs and cuddles. He has a temper, and thankfully, is learning to control himself. He loves being a big brother. He loves to draw and build and play outside. He loves being with his friends.
Jack is just an angel (with a devilish streak...). I love everything about him, his nose sprinkled with freckles, his prickly brown hair, his skinny legs and knobby knees. I love that he is Mr. Manners about 90% of the time. I love that he thinks of his brothers, sisters and friends always. I love that he is beginning to understand God and have a love for him. I love to hear his prayers and his expanding vocabulary: "This is not what I respected." :) He is so fun. So sweet. He's the baby I dreamed of.

ohhhh, just tug at the heartstrings why don't you. True journalists can do that with even the simplest of writtings such as blogs. Jack is all of those wonderful things and I'm so glad that we are friends and that I get to see all of them grow and learn new things. They all are just amazing and awe inspiring.
jo, that is tired writing, not good writing...:) glad you signed up. :)
I can't believe Jack is four! I remember when Sister George and I went to your baby shower at the church because we didn't know anyone. He is such a cute kid and he sounds incredible. I also enjoy your writing style!
