Jake Jargon

Jake is playing in the kitchen with some cars and I hear "Bye-bye play-doh!" I'm a bit worried at this, because...well, I don't really have to explain why when it comes to an almost two year old and play-doh... Anyway, I go to check on him and he's got bits of play-doh in the seat of his car and pushing it around. How funny are kids!?

So Jake and I are watching a show about a boy that's about to become a big brother...so I ask him if he would ever like to be a big brother. He replies, "Uh-huh! For my birthday!" I don't think we can swing that one, Son! Maybe next year!!!


Ok, so Jake is almost two... I can't believe it. He amazes me everyday. What an awesome journey raising him as been, and I've only come such a short way. To see him grow and change everyday is the biggest blessing I have ever been, well, blessed with! I mean what do parents want most for their children. To grow up in a happy home, and for their children to be happy. That's the biggest thing right? More than anything else... So when Brian, myself and Jake were having some family time and Jake stopped what he was doing, looked up at us and said "I happy!" How do you think I felt? I tell ya, my heart broke! But in the good way!!! Then later that night after I asked him about what he had said earlier, he responded with, "Happy....happy home." Well, it was almost too much for my heart to take. That's all I want for my sweet, baby boy. And I'm so happy that we've been able to give that to him... And in return, he's made me the happiest mom ever!!! I thank God for giving bringing together Brian and I and blessing us with Jake. And I thank Him even more for allowing us to provide our son with a happy, healthy home to grow up in.
