I love my little man. He turned 5 today! I know a lot of people say it's bitter sweet having their kids grow up but I actually enjoy it. I try to cherish the moments and years as they go by. Each stage has it's blessings and it's difficulties. Jacob is a little mischeifous and is also a fun loving boy. Sometimes he'll give you big hugs (and if your not careful he'll take your nose out in the process) other times he doesn't even want to shake hands or talk. He's really into Super Mario these days so I found a cake on facebook. It's interesting how the little things really make a difference. I got to spend a evening with a few friends celebrating Jacob's birthday. Jacob also got to go out with our children's pastor to chucke cheese (something special they did since his Dad is overseas). He had a blast and took a short nap in between that and his party this evening at our house. His daycare teacher got him a little something too. He also has cupcakes to share with his classmates tomorrow. Overall, great day. And it started out with getting to skype with Daddy and open his remote control car so Daddy could share the moment with him :)
With all that said I had my own crying spell over the fact that my hubby couldn't be here to share in Jacob's birthday. I think the reason it really bothered me was because he was suppose to have his leave now but it got changed at the last minute. For whatever reason, it just was the thing to set me on edge. We also found out that we lost two more Oklahoma soldiers today. It's difficult, this makes thirteen since July 29th. We just got to the colder months so I thought I could take a deep breath and relax. I guess not. My prayers go out to the families and friends of the fallen soldiers. I'm also praying for safety for the soldiers overseas.
