Jake spent the majority of last week in McCormick with Nana, Pop, Aunt Suzanne and Uncle Brian. Pop and Nana have moved out to the lake for the summer so every morning Jake woke up looking at the WATER. He absolutely loves it!! When I talked to him each morning he would point the phone to the water so I could 'see' it.
Pop finally put the new boat in the water and everybody loves it. The #1 fan is of course Jake. The best part is when he gets to drive! If you ask Jake about the boat he talks and talks and then he will tell you 'Stop Pop'. That's what he would tell Pop when he wanted the boat to slow down. I asked Jake if we could go to the lake with him and he said it was his lake, his boat, and his Pop. I'll give him everything but I can tell you we would have to fight over Pop!! He had a great time and talks about wanting to go back just about every day.
I get to tell you all of this and not show pictures because MY CAMERA BROKE!! Suzanne forgot her camera in Charlotte so she took mine (which is really her other camera). I found out Sunday night when I wanted to look at pictures. It took less then 2 minutes to get on the computer to buy a new one. (Hopefully I will get it this week. That's the reason there hasn't been any recent blogs with pictures.)
Here are a few pictures that were on my phone...
This was one of my Good Morning pictures he sent.

Update on Gary...
It's been another week and Gary is hopefully on his way to getting better.
Since his last surgery he seems to be slowly getting better by the day. He's still having some things to overcome (always seems like it's something) but with him going on 3 weeks of being in the hospital including 2 surgery's and multiple stays in the ICU I can only hope that he's made it through the worst of it. 3 weeks in the hospital means 3 weeks without any food. I'm sure you can imagine the lack of strength makes even the smallest things (like walking, which is extremely important right now) difficult. There isn't a date set for him to come home but all we are hoping for now is for him to continue to get better.
Thank you so much for your prayers!!

Continue to pray for Gary
Gary is STILL in the hospital and is still having problems. He is going back into surgery (almost 2 weeks after the 1st surgery) tonight. Please prayer for Gary's family as well as the team of Doctors that will be with him.

Jake's Trip to Charlotte
Jake went to Charlotte with Nana Monday and has been gone all week. He made it back home yesterday and we were so excited to see him. Nana was nice enough to take Jake with her so he didn't have to spend every night at the hospital with us. He always has a great time in Charlotte and this time was no different. I think he was able to do whatever he wanted and that's the way it should be! All he did was talk about his trip when he got home. Thanks Nana, Auggie Dogg, Aunt Tonya and Aunt Suzanne for all of the help!
When Nana picked up Jake I told her that I wouldn't be upset if he came home with his hair cut...and I wasn't! Gary has been the only person that Jake would let cut his hair and that was out of the question as of last week. He was nice enough to say he would do it when he got home but Jake's hair was already out of control. Suzanne and Nana took him to a place just for kids (wish we had one here) and said he didn't say a word. I wouldn't believe that he wore the cape if I didn't see it for myself.
Afterwards was lunch at McDonalds and a trip to Target for a toy. I love to hit the $1 toys at the front of the store but you know that isn't good enough for Nana. He got his own MyPod and LOVES it. He keeps it right beside him at all times. THANKS NANA!
Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Japanese Please...
Last night we went to Yamatos for dinner. Jake has been there when he was very young so this was the first real experience for him. If you ask him where he went for dinner he will go through a long conversation and end it with FIRE! (not understand much other then the word fire).
Trying to hold it right.
GOT IT!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
Today Jamie and I have been married 4 years. Amazing how time flies. So many things have happened over the past 4 years, including building a house in a great neighborhood, meeting our awesome-awesome friends, welcomed Emily into the family, and the best of all...having JAKE! There have also been some devestating situations that I would have never thought we would have to go through but God has blessed us in so many ways and is continuously making us stonger.
Jamie and Jake
Our Family!

Jake and Kayce
When Jake was born Kayce didn't want to be bothered with the new addition. Jake tries to play with her but she lets him know she doesn't want anything to do with him. This only makes Jake want to get in her face more. This is a great example of the 2 of them together. She could care less about playing with him and he just wants to get in her face. Always testing his limits!
Here are some more pictures from yesterday...

A Great Weekend...
Jake got to play outside all day on Friday (after lunch at Grouchos of course).
Saturday we met up with Anna and Noah to watch a movie (Horton Hears a Who) but first had to grab a bite at Chick-fil-a and play on the playground.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMAMA!!
Sunday we all got together to celebrate Grandmama's 81st birthday. Jake even helped make the birthday cake! John wasn't able to come but we know we will see him soon.
