Jacob's 1st Birthday

Jacob Turns 2!

We Celebrated Jacob's birthday yesterday with about 9 of his little friends, a jumping castle and tons of laughter. The weather was cool, but the rain held off and Jacob was in good spirits all day.

He woke in the morning and our mission was to not let him see the jumping castle because we knew he would beg and beg for it. He waited for his friends to start arriving and off to jump they went.

The first picture is classic, as you see Jacob is holding his own juice box however he did not hesitate to partake in the others on the table in front of him, None of us moms can be sure just how many each kid had but the apple juice was flowing!!!

The next picture is of Jacob helping himslef to the gift table, and he did have the right after all. He scooped this one up and headed to a seat. his ended up being a mini tonka truck race track. All his friends really know our boy, he recieve several trucks, dinos and even an electric drill.

Oh my Josh and I are amazed at the little boy we have, and are so filled with joy and thanks each day we see him smile!

Thank you to everyone who has shared his life with us!!

10 cents or a Dime

However you say it, it still was the same thing when Jacob Swallowed it. Thats right, at the very same time i laid Jacob down to change his diaper into the mouth he popped the dime. This happened Saturday the 16th around 2 30.

After the very scary choking and gaging and vomitting we called 911 to ask if we should take him to the ITALIAN EMERGENCY ROOM. They said YES we should. Off we went i have seen all i need to of that place for the rest of our stay in Italy.

The dr was nice however just claimed, it would pass on its own, WHY couldnt 911 tell me this???

So now it has passed, yes Josh foudn the dime Today!!!! Oh the Joys of Boys!!!!

Yes the photo is of Jacob holding THE dime in a ziploc bag, Daddy

What else have we been up to, we found a turtle thats right the Garner family found a turtle surprise surprise. We had HER with us for about 4 days until Rose foudn the very greatfull owner, who thanks us for her return with home made honey and honey grappa (schnapps)

The turtle was 15 years old, Jacob was hesitent of touching her but was facinated with her when she crawled around on our deck.

Oh yes it is Summer here in Italy, Jacob is becoming covered with bumps and brusies, as all little boys do, even his BF Isaac has his share. We're sure it isnt the last of them.

WE are counting down to Jacob's Birthday Party, with plans to rent a jumping castle and put out the pool. Turtle Theme of course, we;re so thankful Daddy is here this year so we are doing it right!!

We had our 28 week dr. appt and i am measuring just right, only 80 days left!!!

Keep us all in your thoughts and prayers as we try and figure out what the Army Future holds for us. Once we know details you all as well. Until then just pray for the best for us.

Guess whos' back

Hello All, as most of you know we have arrived back here in Italy. Upon our retrun Josh was there to meet us, thanks to the awesome men he works with they were able to send him home early to be with his family during our family's loss of an uncle.

While we were away Josh took the liberty of entering each of us into a power wheel drawing at our local base grocery store and guess who won!!!!!

Jacob is now the Proud owner of a Range Rider!!!! Oh you al lknow Jacob you should have seen his face when we picked it up.

We also made a trip to the zoo, though i am always confused at the site of no elephants we still had an amazng time and if asked about his experience Jacob will tell you all about the goat that nibbled his finger!!

It is also Birthday Month here among the Garner boys!! We have a party in the works for Jacob and Daddy treated himself to a new bike!
