While most people are celebrating New Year’s Eve, we are also celebrating
our son Jacob, who has his birthday today.
I woke up early this morning and exclaimed into the darkness, “It just can’t be true!”
My firstborn is 15 year old!
(My gratitude to Jacob, who kindly took a break from shooting his new gun, to let his mama take the pictures.)
Good to be Home

Happy birthday, Jacob — 15 is a great year, so make the most of it!
I came to wish you and Rich a Happy New Year, Shanda, and then I read about it being an even bigger and MOST special day – a BIRTH-day in your house!Happy Birthday Jacob! You don’t realize it, but you have grown before my (and many other’s) eyes and I’m proud (not as much as your parents) of you and how you’ve grown. May God grant you a wonderful year of being the age of fifteen!!!
I hope today was a wonderful Birthday for Jacob and that you all have a Happy New Year!
Happy Birthday Jacob — I know your family probably made it very special for you! Blessings for the New Year to all of you.
What a handsome young man! Happy day-after-your-birthday, Jacob!
It goes by so fast, doesn’t it?! My baby will be 14 in 7 days.
Happy Birthday Jacob! Wow.. how the years have flown by!
Happy Birthday to you Jacob. What great photos showing a handsome young man! May the Lord bless you this coming year and grow you more and more in Him.
The boys want to know what kind of gun and is it a “real” gun? There is so much admiration coming from them, I wish Jacob could hear them!
@mymeanderings – That’s so sweet, Joanna. It is a BB gun that shoots using co2 cartridges. (I think. LOL) Jacob loves to dress this way when he’s outside prowling around. He has a helmet and a back board, too.
