Handsome little man!!

Here is a picture of my handsome little man that will be 5 on Tues. He wore this outfit to papa Joe's funreal in Iowa. Papa Joe would have gotten the biggest kick out of him!!!

Jacob's big green tractor!!!!

On Saturday morning we found out that Jeremy's grandpa's tractor that he had been looking for was selling in a farm sale at 1pm. So we headed to a farm sale and brought home the tractor. Jacob told us it was the best birthday present ever!!!! We made it home in time to get everything ready for his birthday party!!! He had a blast!!!

Papa Joe

Jeremy's dad passed away on Sunday September 20. It was a very big shock to all of us. Jacob loved papa Joe more than anything. He loved helping him on the 20, going to Dari Sweet to get cheeseballs or just playing hide n seek with him. Papa Joe did so many things for us that we didn't realize he did. He gave us a beautiful sign at the end of our driveway, always was bringing Jacob something. Joe spent Labor Day with us this year. He watched Jacob in the parade, the bike race and pulling the lawn mower. Joe visited with many of his old friends. There was not a person in Diagonal that didn't like Joe. He was always asking about the new baby and when we could find out what it was. Everytime he called Jeremy he always asked how Jacob and I were. Jeremy is going to miss his dad more than anything. Jeremy just wishes he could have done something to help him. It is going to be a hard adjustment for all!
