... a circle of people singing with voices familiar and clear.
"Welcome to the spinning world, "the people sang, as they washed your new, tiny hands. "Welcome to the green Earth, "the people sang, as they wrapped your wet, slippery body.
And as they held you close they whispered into your open, curving ear,
"We are so glad you've come."

I can remember perfectly the day Jake was born...and I can recall so vividly all the moments from when he was teeny tiny... he's still the same sweet, gentle, easy-going guy. I love when he's talking to newborn Joe in the swing, all the costumes, the "blue cake" that he insisted on having, and how devastated we were when he got his curls cut off. I laughed out loud at the genie costume!! And the Buzz face!!
I still see that chubby, serious baby face like the pictures in the swing in his face now.
Happy Birthday Baby Brother, you are definitely a kid now, but you will always, always, always be my first little brother, the boy we were SO excited to meet and that we still are crazy about to this very day.
I love you tons,
Cait, Danny and Charlotte
