Birthday in July

The Wednesday cookout crew at Ronald McDonald House

Jacob's sweet new Lego Log Cabin

Who is that masked man?

Jacob's Ninth Birthday Festival continues as the Ronald McDonald House

celebrated all children who have a birthday in July. The party included food,

fun, and, you guessed it, more birthday presents! He needs a bigger room!

The Hangover

Jacob had a great ninth birthday but it caught up with him the next day.

A Most Unusual Birthday

Mail Call for the Birthday Boy!

All good gifts, including some TPN with lipids!

First, we get dressed for a clinic appointment

Then we go to the clinic, and get gifts!

Then we come home and open a couple of presents before lunch

Later we have ice cream, a big cookie, and many more gifts

Sweet!

Jacob's Ninth (A Virtual Party)

FaceTime brought us close to Susan and Jacob in Minneapolis tonight as we celebrated

Jacob's ninth birthday. We were grateful that he was out of the hospital in the Ronald

McDonald House for the occasion. All the children sang Happy Birthday to Jacob and

he showed us some of the many gifts and cards he had received. We all exchanged jokes

and then a pageant of well dressed princesses passed through to entertain him. Such fun.

These cards have just arrived over the past two days.

Jacob's cookie cake, which he will enjoy later.

We failed to tell him about our cupcakes. Did I mention the cupcakes?

Tiny meowing cats sing Happy Birthday. Cute or heinous? You decide!

What on earth?

Happy Birthday, Jacob!

We love you!
