Last week Jack started making a Happy Birthday card for Jacob. Beware: When I said the words, "Happy Birthday!" to Jack, he ran over the the junk drawer, opened it up, stood on his tip toes, and found the lighter. He said, "Happy Birthday" in his own little voice and mimicked blowing out a candle. I guess it's time to put the lighter up where he can't reach it.
Don't worry, Jacob. This isn't the final product. I haven't spoiled any surprises!
Since Jacob loves to cook it isn't much fun to make him a special dinner for his birthday. But it can be fun to make him interesting desserts. He gave me a new cookbook for my birthday and so I've tried two new birthday treats for his special day: Fruity Pebbles Cereal Milk Ice Cream, and Compost Cookies.

Jack and Audrey are so lucky to have you as a daddy. Jack loves when you come home from work and has so much fun jumping on the bed while you get ready in the afternoons. He gets so excited to go on his special trips with you to Home Depot and really anywhere you'll take him! Audrey doesn't know it yet, but she's so amazingly loved and protected by you. What a blessing that is for a little girl! I am so thankful for your willingness to comfort her during her fussy hour at night. It is a welcomed break for me each night! I won't embarrass you and go on and on... I'll just say that we love you and we can't wait to see you when you get home tonight.

OK the home-made ice cream and the cookies look great but the picture of Audrey sleeping in Jake's arms is priceless. How trusting and content she is in her father's arms. Wow!
Yea, you totally need to stop being such a sweet family. You are making me want another one. Stop.
PS- I love you guys. :)
