~our handsome firstborn~

Posted on by
 

 

Jacob was born a few months after Rich and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary.  It’s hard for us to imagine what our life would be like without him!  What a pleasure and joy he’s been along the way.  We couldn’t be prouder of our firstborn son.

His birth twelve years ago taught me what the strength of mother-love was really like.  I’ll never forget the first time I saw him and held him, I was amazed at the love I felt for my baby. . . . . .my heart grew in ways I never imagined when I became a mother.

I love you more than words can say, Jacob.  Thank you for being such a bright part of our family.  I hope you have a wonderful birthday today and that we can laugh and celebrate all day long.  You are supposed to get a birthday snow storm!  Dad says he’ll sled with you later.  Love, Mama

  23. Congratulations to the mother! You raised a fine young man for a dozen years.  May he continue to arise and call you blessed for many dozen more.
