Going back to last month, Jacob's Birthday

Something very special happened last month. Something I am still trying to get my head around. I have a teenager. Our Jacob is 13! It is so hard for me to believe that he is into the teenage years, and I am beginning to see his attitude towards things change. For the good. He has discovered the mall. He has discovered American Eagle Outfitters, the Gap and others. He is taking pride in how he looks headed out the door. It's all good changes.

In 10 days, he will head to New York City with Mark for a week of just "guy time." Time to talk, hang out and just be together. They have been planning this trip for about a year and will catch two games at the new Yankee stadium.

Because of this big occasion, I decided to give you the ABC's of Jacob....
