It doesn't seem like 7 years since you arrived and changed our lives forever (our first baby). We still vividly remember the nervous excitement we felt heading off to the hospital to be induced early (6am) Thursday morning, January 3rd. I'd never been in the hospital before and the process of getting hooked up to the machines and getting an IV in was a tad scary - but I knew it was all necessary to have this baby today. We were 12 days overdue and ready to meet our new baby boy - like yesterday (especially since we missed the tax write off for 2001 by 3 days)! After a long, long, long day (I'll spare you the gruesome details)...you arrived at 12:27am on Friday, January 4th. You were big, round, bright-eyed, bald and beautiful! You were surrounded my your nervously excited 1st time grandparents, Grandma Jane, Grandpa Jim, Nana and Papa Winegar. Aunt Lori and Uncle Jeff came to meet you, but had to head back to Oregon when you didn't arrive on time! Happy Birthday Jack...we love you and our proud of who you are becoming, a strong, confident, caring boy!
Now, off for some fun at Funtasticks...an outdoor amusement park!
An update: It rained ALL DAY today. Soooo, the outdoor amusement park looked to be a bust...until...the kids got to play laser tag instead! After initial fear and some tears (and 1 traumatized 6 year old), they played their first game and LOVED it. Laser tag is done in the dark, with glowing laser packs - super fun, once you get over the dark, scary, unknown place thing. Now, all of his buddies are wanting to have their parties at Funtasicks! :-) hehe. Here are a few pictures.

Someday you and I will have a chat about how we flew all the way out there to meet you and you REFUSED to comply. Sheesh!!! (Your mommy was really ready to meet you too.) But you were worth the wait J-man. Happy Birthday!
What a fun party. You have very nice friends! Happy Birthday --Nana
