I cannot start a new year without properly finishing off the last one, and a proper finish means celebrating Jacob’s birthday.<\/p>\n
Two days after Christmas my son achieved the span of fourteen years, and his present was to spend much of the day laboring with his dad (and Megan) on a large wood-working project.<\/p>\n
Ever since the bunks were built in the girly room, there has been a certain inequity apparent, particularly when Jacob had his buddy Peter staying overnight and he had to sleep on couch cushions on the floor.<\/p>\n
This birthday presented the opportunity to correct that imbalance in the universe, and provide Jacob with appropriate accommodations for his frequent guests.<\/p>\n
When it was all put together there was MUCH rejoicing and Junior and Jacob had to climb up top and wrestle about some to break it in.<\/p>\n
The perfect way to finish off the birthday was watching part One of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (Extended Edition), a Christmas present from Uncle Jeff that had just arrived that day.<\/p>\n
