Jacob...

That is who I am grateful for this post. I am a little late posting this, but our computer crashed.  And even though we have a laptop, it isn't my favorite to work on.  I am old school and like desk tops.  Less fuss.  But alas, it isn't quite done yet.  So, I am on the dreaded laptop posting so it won't be delayed any longer!  Oh, Jacob.  This little man had brought more joy into my life than I thought ever possible!  You know when you appreciate kids, but we get into routines?  I know that sounds bad, and I am grateful for Jacob everyday, but sometimes, everyday life sets in and we sometimes forget how very special these little spirits are?  Am I the only one?  Well, in the last two years, during the hardest and quite possibly  the darkest times in my life, I have come to know what an absolute miracle Jacob is.  During our struggle these last 24 months, I just look at Jacob and thank Heavenly Father that he was given to us at the time he was given to us.  He was a little surprise, but now thinking back, he was an absolute answer to a future prayer.  I couldn't be more grateful for this little guy.  He has such a personality on him.  He is currently OBSESSED with "The Amazing Spider-man".  He is always Spider-man or The Lizard.  Hence the picture I am going to share.  He used dry-erase markers (thank heavens!) and drew himself Spider-man hands and eyes.  And boy was he MAD when I wouldn't let him finish his arms.  Silly little boy.

Thank you Jacob, for showing me everyday what life is actually about!
