Dear Jack, 
Happy 8th birthday JackJack! What a delight you are! We had so much fun celebrating your birthday and going to Thin Air and Pizza Hut for your party! You specifically requested stuffed crust pepperoni pizza. On your actual birthday you requested to have a cream-filled donut breakfast in bed with the rest of us joining you for a carpet picnic, pool with the whole family, McDonald's brought to the pool, playing with gifts, then out to laser tag and pizza, ending with ice-cream at BRs. Wow! What a day! Oh and then you love for Daddy and I to put you to bed together and talk to you. You melt my heart. I told you that you were not supposed to grow up and that you would be my little boy forever. You said you tried but you can't stop growing. You said, yep, even when you are in Heaven and then your eyes welled up with tears (and so did mine). This year your got Scooby Doo Legos and a foosball table. So fun! You are growing up so fast. I am just so thankful to the Lord for giving you to me as my son. I have such a vivid memory of when the doctor handed you to me right after you were born. You bring me so much joy and I know the Lord feels that joy as well. How could he not?! 
We love you so much Jack.
Love Mommy and Daddy

Here's a little about you: 

You are really into watching Scooby Doo and Scooby Doo Legos. 
You are going into 2nd grade!!! I can't believe it!
You are in jiu jitsu right now and you really don't care for it. 
You have a hard time naming a best friend because they are all your friends. :)
You and your sister are hilarious together but you fight like an old married couple. 
You are so sweet with Sam and you call him Bubby Cheeks or Bub Boy. 
You love spending time alone with daddy or I. 
You get so shy when we talk about girls. 
You love to draw still and are pretty confident in your skill. 
You are starting to eat more...I can't imagine feeding a teenage boy. 
You love your extended family like crazy. 
You are still very affectionate and love to give kisses and hugs. I hope it never ends. 
You love your foosball table!
You are very good at building Legos. 
You melt my heart on a regular basis and are so tender hearted. 


Dear Heavenly Father, 
Thank you for the privilege of being Jack's mom. My heart is so full. I know you are pleased with him and his Christian faith. I thank you for the fact that he believes in You. What a gift. I thank you that he desires to serve you and that he loves you. I pray that he would never once doubt your love for him. I pray that he would submit his will and life to you and follow your path closely. I pray that you would surround him with fellow believers and that he would bring many people to Christ or closer to you. I pray that he would be a strong witness in his school and that you would protect him from Satan's attacks. Lord would you give him a healthy mind, body and spirit all the days of his life. Let him live a long life full of service to you. I pray for his wife that she would be raised in a Christian home and follow closely after you. Lord, would you let them find each other at a young age and help them to stay pure until marriage. I pray that their marriage would be a testimony to you and that they would submit to your will for their lives as a married couple. I pray that you would bless them with children and bless them financially. Lord would you make your path clear for Jack and protect him along the way. Lord would you give me the daily strength to parent him as you would have me and the strength to give him over to you. I pray that he and Audrey would remain close to one another throughout their lives and that you would bless that relationship. Thank you for loving this sweet boy and for creating him in your image. 
Amen.
