See this adorable face??? How can you not LOVE this face? Mwah! This is my angel boy Jacob. When Jacob turned seven in October he realized he would be eight on his next birthday. Eight is the age in which he can choose to be baptised into the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints. He made one simple request: He wanted us to read through The Book of Mormon, Old and New Testaments, Doctrine and Covenants readers by the time he turned eight. In his words, he wants to know if it is true before he decides to be Baptised. It is February and he and his Dad have cruised through The Book of Mormon, and New Testament and are finishing up the Old Testament right now. They should be all done by April. Jacob wants to read them all again just to be sure but has loved every one of the stories of the prophets and people. What a kid! What a great spirit! I hope that I am a good enough Mom to teach him all he needs to know. He teaches me much everyday.
On another note, Jake is getting really used to the idea of a little brother and can't wait until we go to Africa and get him. He gave up a bunch of his old toys and is so excited to share them with him and to "teach" him everything he knows. Poor guy does not realize that he too, will have to make some ajustments. But, Jake has always been great with just "rolling with it". I imagine given time, this will be no different.
I am in awe of my wonderful life. Great husband, great son, awesome friends, a job I love, live really does not get better. We are just going to spread our love a little more when our new son comes to be with us. What an advetnture lies before us! Wish us luck in our travels!
