Jake turns ONE

Happy First Birthday baby Jake!
A few words that mark your first year:
An Overcomer. A Fighter. A Cheerful Spirit.

You have been victorious through four hospital stays, many trips to see Dr. Slater, a ride in an ambulance, another 911 call to Aunt Dani's house in Bethlehem, and most of all ... Lots of forceful love from your big brother who is learning everyday to be so gentle.

We look back on this year and see how the enemy wanted to steal kill and destroy ...but how JESUS came that you would have life and have it to the full!

Even in your darkest hour, you remained pleasant, cheerful, and so content. So much so, that you didn't give us much warning when things weren't going so well in your little body. Oh how we love you Jake!

We love your easy going self, your continually happy heart, your soft giggle, and the way you love your big brother!

Happy Birthday dear one!
