Today Jacob, my first baby, turns 12. He's receiving the Aaronic Priesthood and becoming a young man. It makes my heart happy to see him grow up into a wonderful person. He truly is special in so many remarkable ways. It also makes me a tiny-bit sad to see this little newborn in my arms and wonder why it went so fast. And where did the time go? And why must he grow up at all?
But I'm so proud of who he is and so proud that he's my little son.

Happy Birthday to Jacob! He is handsome and such a sweet boy.
Something about the firsties…I think we are so endeared to them because we had NO IDEA what we were doing and so we are in total awe that they are turning out somehow! He is a jewel!
Reading this makes me realize how similar our lives were at the same time. My Sabrina turns 12 on Friday and I can't believe it has been 12 years since she was born. I love her soooo much and it really makes me sad that she is growing up so fast.
