Happy Birthday Jake!!!!!

My baby is double digits. I have no more single digit children. That's not fair. The great thing is he's wonderful and intelligent and loving and sensitive and beautiful. The best thing is he's a momma's boy. I'm planning on keeping him that way.

This morning, John called before Jake was awake and didn't want to disturb him. Shortly thereafter, Jake woke up and wondered over to my bed with a nose bleed. Once we got that under control, I called John at work so he could wish our baby a happy birthday. John is more than a little upset that he couldn't be with him on his birthday. Funny, it's always been John who was away for birthdays, holidays, vacations and unfortunately it was our turn this year.

Jake got lots of calls from family, got to skip school and hang out with his friend who was allowed to skip too. Hope that teacher isn't reading this! :-) We celebrated with going to see "Madagascar 2" - hilarious! - pizza at home, with a home baked chocolate cake for dessert. Great day all round. But the best part was a surprise visit from John's brother Jorge and his wife, Rosie, daughter, Miranda and two sons, Jonathan and Manuel!! Manuel's only 10 months old and it was our first time meeting him! What a fabulous gift!!

Tonight, Jake's sleeping over at his friend's, Lisette hanging out at Dylan's and Nicole has a houseful of friends over to watch scary movies - though they all went on a beach walk right now...peace and quiet!
