Daycare

Hey jake

Today was you first day at daycare. While it was somewhat traumatic for me, you seemed to have a great day. Your daddy dropped you off and came to visit you at lunch. During the day you played on the play mat, hung out in the swing, had 3 bottles and took 2 naps. Your daddy and I picked you up a little after 5 and you were in a great mood. I missed you so much during the day but we are having a fun evening together. I swear that you are even bigger than you were this morning!
Goodnight sweet boy
Love,
mom

Espresso with your milk?

Jacob,
Well it has been a fun evening after a restful afternoon.

We had dinner with Dave, Lucy and Anna Slotnick. The Slotnicks are expecting a baby boy in a few months, so they enjoyed getting to meet you and hold you.

After dinner the three of us went to a local coffee shop. Your mom had a latte, I got a pretty gross espresso, and you enjoyed a bottle of cold milk (sorry!).

We love hanging out with you!
Dad

Jake's Video Debut

Hey Jake,

I got a new digital camera last night and I tried out the video on you. Check it out - there is a nice plot twist at the end :)

Friday night at Fralos

Hey Jake,

Tonight we introduced you to our favorite pizza place on earth. It's called Fralos, and the have great outdoor seating under huge Texas live oaks strewn with light bulb strands.

We brought our own bottle of wine, and you watched some big kids play while your mom held you and ate a delecious tortillini pasta dish.

Teddy bear

Jake,

You sure do love the teddy bear that Jen sent you. Today I set it beside you and when I looked back you were hugging it.
