HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JACOB!
We love to celebrate birthdays in our family. And this week, it was Jacob's turn to enjoy the spotlight. (Blessing #946) It doesn't seem possible that he has already finished life as a teenager and is headed into his 20's. I certainly don't feel old enough to have a son who's 20.
Celebrating a birthday in the midst of football season (where Chad is rarely home before 7pm) and softball season (now that Jenica's in high school) is no small task. We had to get creative. It would have been fun for us to drive over to Kearney and spend time with him there, but I think he likes the feeling of "home" and was willing to meet us here.
Since his classes were finished by early afternoon on Tuesday, he came home early. (#947) Which was nice because then Jillian and I got him all to ourselves (#948) for a few fun surprises and a relaxing afternoon.
After everyone was finished with practice, we all were able to enjoy supper together at "Taste Of Texas BBQ" in town. (#949) It was a fun treat! They brought out a big chocolate sundae, sang to him, and gave him a birthday card with a $5 gift certificate inside. SWEET!
Before he headed back to college, I did what any mother would do. I snapped a few pictures to capture the memory of our whole family together again. Of course, that's an adventure in itself. (#950) Can everyone be serious for just one picture? Most likely not.
The time with Jacob Tuesday went by far too quickly. (sniff, sniff) But since he lives just a short distance from home, I know he'll be back again . . . ummm . . . let's see . . . oh, yeah . . . this Friday! For the homecoming game!
