Happy Birthday, Jack

Dear Jack...I can hardly believe you are 3 years old today! What a fun day it was with your Mickey party and all your friends and family! Can you believe daddy found a Mickey jump house? He's the greatest! And that mommy...she decorated everything so pretty and made your favorite foods and got you cupcakes...yummy! She's amazing! Little brother Sam...he was an angel and slept through the whole party!

Now let's talk about YOU! Do you know how many people love and adore you? Wasn't it fun to have so many friends and cousins at your house today! I know how much you love Peter, Nathan, Jared, Melissa Jo and Mary Kate! And...you are blessed that you had 2 of your 3 sets of GREAT-GRANDPARENTS there...WOW! (You got to celebrate with your other set last week in Smithville-how lucky are you!).
I love this photo of you and me. I chose it because it brings me so many sweet memories of when you were so small. And now, you are growing so big and I know we are going to have so many more fun times! How cool was it that Jonathan came to his FIRST birthday party at your house...we are so happy he is home from Benin! And how great is it that your friend, Benjamin, brought him to the party! Didn't you love seeing little John and his sweet sister Kailey, and Anna Claire? Aren't you happy that Eva and Elizabeth and Mailie came too? What pretty little girls! It was great to see Hayley and Jack, too! Wasn't it fun to have Bryson over to show him your playroom...I think playdates are in your future! Wasn't it fun to have one of your best buddies, Korben, there too? And what would a jump house be WITHOUT Isabella! If I missed someone, it was because I was having so much fun with Giggi watching you have SO MUCH FUN!
The next few years are going to be so much fun for you as you grow bigger and learn so much! I can hardly wait to take the journey with you!
You are my angel boy, and I love you!
