"Look Mom, it can live and float around in the pool of water so everyone can enjoy it."
Teaching Zack how to play flower basketball in the fountain
I found this beautiful flower for you Mom.  
Now that's a wing!

Jake, what a joy.  So kind and caring.  Always the first to bring me flowers and tell me how pretty I am or that I am the best Mom he could ever have.  He sure loves his food and savors every bit of it.  I love all the things you find in life; musical notes in our bricks, constellations in your oatmeal, just about every state in cereal flakes, bread, crackers, sandwiches, you name it! Your love and creativity bring smiles every time.  My favorite thing ... that you read everything around you and can't get enough.  Even when I am so exasperated because I have asked you several times to do the same thing and you somehow keep finding different books or magazines to become distracted by, even then I still smile because you are such a reader.  My other favorite thing ... that you help your big brother spell words in his journal and you don't even think twice about it.  What a sweetheart my Jakey boo.
