Happy Birthday, Jack!

On this day I keep thinking back to one year ago ...

the drop off of three sisters here, 

the wait for the call and

the excitement of meeting you!

I'm awed at how it can be that we are here now ...

ready to get you onto those wheels.

 At first you wondered what this was all about,

 but, with everyone smiling and taking pictures,

you decided to wave.

and enjoy the moment as well.

Jack, we've loved you from the start,

but I didn't  know we could love you this much!

For the way your eyes twinkle in recognition,

your little jig when the music goes on,

your curiosity about things that move or make noise,

your awareness of what is going on around you ...

but most of all

I love the way you show love.

Your "leaning in" forehead to forehead

or cheek to cheek 

has melted my heart over and over again.

I love that you trust

and I pray your trust is never disappointed.

May the Lord bless you and keep you

and make His face shine on you.

Love, Papa and Mimi
