Proof

It looks painful but the big fella's doing OK.

There's A First Time For Everything...

...that's the old saying, isn't it? If so, today Jacob experience his first real "injury." He ran into something in one of the play rooms at school and split his eye open. Su called me with the news and fortunately I was able to get to school within a matter of minutes (I work just around the corner.) We spent about three hours at the ER and Jacob has his first three stiches. He continues to amaze me with how brave he is. His only tear came from an injection to numb the stitching. He did say as we left, "Don't want to go back to hospital." I don't think any of us do! I will get a picture of the injury although I don't have one yet.

However, I can't go this long in between posts without sharing some image! This is Patrick last week for his eight month photo shoot. Neithe of us can believe it's been eight months. Patrick is a very hardheaded, energetic, physically strong youngster. He wears me out after a couple of hours. I truly don't know how tiny Suzanne manages an entire day....still, we love him very, very much!

Buddies

I know, I know...it's been a while and there's a lot of catching up to do. You see, everyone's been healthy for a whole week and I don't know what to do with myself.

Things About Jacob

I know, I know...I still haven't posted holiday pictures (there are none of New Year's). I'll get to that this month. I promise! Hehe.

This will keep everyone entertained for a few days anyway. It was ripped directly from our friends, the Parnells. We both thought it was a great idea. We asked Jacob a series of questions regarding his favorite "things" at age two to see what he'd say. I was suprised at how well he understood most of the questions. All of the answers, obviously outside of "age," "height," and "weight" were his, with no prompting from us.
