He will be here for Christmas and we will

celebrate his 21st birthday on January 1st.

Jakers will probably leave around January 5th. 

Even though he won't be home very long......

we are just so HAPPY that he will be home and

will take FULL advantage of our time

together!!!!!!

We are hoping that Catherine will make the

trip here for a few days to help celebrate Jake's

birthday too. Let's keep our fingers crossed  : )
