Jake is 4!

Last Saturday, my precious boy turned 4 years old. It just so happens that we were in the Happiest Place on Earth for his birthday. Not too many kids can say they rung in their 4th year in Disney World, and I'm glad that the timing worked out for us to do this. It was great fun, and we made a big deal all day (but with minimal presents since we didn't want to have to transport to and from AND Jake collected enough new stuffed animals as souvenirs that he could probably cast his own Pixar film).

My what a difference each year made!

Happy birthday, sweet Jake-Jake. I hope 4 is just as great as 3 was for you (minus the tantrums and potty training that lasted all of 12 months).

May you always know how much we love and adore you. You brighten our lives every day with your infectious laugh, mischievous grin, and shining eyes.
