Jakes Special Day


Happy Birthday to our middle son, Jacob Bryson! It's hard to believe that 8 years ago today Cindy was in labor at Pensacola Naval Hospital. One of the funniest things I remember about that day was Cindy being extremely worried that being a three day weekend, theanesthesiologist would be a brand new doctor. God answered her prayers though and the Navy's senior anesthesiologist just happened to be on duty. As this poor Navy Captain is trying to tactfully discuss the different "pain management" options available, my wife looks him straight in the eye and says, " Oh, I want drugs, lots of drugs."
Jake has had a great birthday. The day started off with his favorite breakfast, french toast and bacon. Cindy had the kitchen decorated with the number "8" to celebrate the big day. Jake got to celebrate at school with Krispy Kreme doughnuts for all his classmates and lunch with mommy who brought his favorite sandwich, Subway ham and cheese. Grandma and Grandpa Pritchard sent balloons (a big hit with Owen) and Grandma and Grandpa Bell a lunch box and some cold cash. To cap off the evening we let Jake pick his favorite dinner, pizza. It has been an interesting 8 years to say the least with our little Jake. One thing is certain though, he never fails to keep us smiling with his witty comments and sparkling personality. Just when I think that Jake has succeeded in pushing Cindy over the edge, he'll come up with something and all she can do is laugh. Happy Birthday son! We love you!!
