Jacob -
Long time, no blog! Sorry for the lull in the chronicles of Jake. Your mom and I hereby pledge to you (and more importantly, to your loyal readers) to resume henceforth. Well, it has been a while since my last update to you. A lot has happened in the intervening time. My plan is to bring you up to speed on the broad strokes by posting a few notes about the major events of the last few months here. So the first of these big events was your mother's graduation from Medical School! We had a great time celebrating together. We went to the Tower of the Americas for dinner the night before with your Nana, Cathy, Steve, Sandy, Samantha, your mom and me. The next day was graduation - you were great during the ceremony, and you were excited that your Magah came to join in the festivites too! It was such an incredible culmination of hardwork, determination, and craziness and we are all so proud of your mom, the new Doctor. Afterward we all went to Port Aransas for a few days to soak up some rays, sit by the pool, and wade in the ocean. The water was just warm enough for your first dip - you really loved the floaty that Shifi got for you, and loved floating around in the pool with your mom and dad. When our fun at the beach came to an end, we rushed back to San Antonio, while at the same time your Magah flew back to Denver to go under the knife for knee surgury (and to officially begin retirement. WooHoo!). While your Magah was braving the Dr., we furiously packed what was left in our house in San Antonio, had several fantastic goodbye dinners (and lunches) with our friends there, and then got in the car to begin our trek to the East Coast. But that, my friend, is a story for another post. Love,
Dad
