“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. I'll always be with you.” Winnie the Pooh

Happy 17th Birthday!

Wow! It is so hard to believe that Jacob Daniel Gates came into this world 17 years ago today. 10lbs. 3oz of cuteness! He ended up in an incubator because of a partial lung collapse and looked more Indian than the Indian baby that was born later that day. (because of jaundice.) I hope Jacob has the very best of Birthdays! I also hope he has many more! HAPPY BIRTHDAY my dear 2nd son! Dad and I love you very much!
p.s. I will post some photos as soon as I get it figured out!

Happy Birthday, Jacob!! You're making me feel OLD! I remember how difficult it was for your mom and dad to not be able to hold you those first couple days.

10 pounds of cuteness? What happened after 17 years? That's gotta be the ugliest guy I think I've ever seen.

Jacob! When I first read that I was so upset! Then I realized who it was talking. You are so in trouble!
