Dear Jakey,Mommy is working on a project which is requiring her to spend time looking through old pictures. I have just gone back from today all the way back to your birth. Wow - what a life you have led and are continuing to lead. Part of me wanted to be sad when I...

Dear Jakey,It is not only Ethan that is making the transition to Lake Ave and his new kindergarten life. We all have to adapt. He has made the transistion with such ease that I can't help be proud and impressed by him. Today was a big step for us - well, more for me...

Dear Jakey,This is probably too much information for many but I can not believe how much I have to think, analyze and share information about your poop. Cait and Kate have come to expect it. I end up bringing it up to "normal" people and they must think I am a real...

Dear Jakey,So it has been a week and you are still not all the way better. What is up with that? I thought we were getting through this one easier, did you change your mind and forget to let me know? Here we are  - getting closer to the end of the week and I am...

Dear Jakey,Our life always seems to change focus in somewhat big swings. It was only last week that Mommy was talking to Dr. Browning with some degree of frequency and we were so focused on a diagnosis. Then you got sick, and that has fallen to the back burner. I know...

Dear Jakey,You must have been on your brother's mind a lot last night. On the way to soccer last night, while you were home with Cait, he announced that he wished you could play soccer with him and be on the same team. It caught me off guard but I agreed with him. I...

Dear Jakey,I miss you. I am happy you went back to school but I miss you! I got used to some serious snuggle time the last few days. When I got you dressed this morning, I kept giving you kisses and you kept making such a grumpy face at me ! It was pretty cute even...

Dear Jakey,I write you this letter with uncertainty of when/if I will share this one with you. Most of the time these letters are our real conversations but tonight it is more thoughts in my head. I don't know how you do it  - how you are totally dependent on...

Dear Jakey,What a crazy adventure we had last night!  Not one, but two squirrels trapped in our chimney!  It was a total racket with so many scary sounds coming from our chimeny. We didn't know what was going on and we were all pretty freaked out....

Dear Jakey,I sit here with you little buddy and while you seem to be a bit better you are not back to normal yet. I have to tell you though that I feel pretty good with the way we dealt with this recent bout of sickness. I hope I am not speaking too early and you...
