It breaks my heart sometimes that we can not attend some of Jake's activities because of the distance we are from him.  But we try to make the best of the situation.  We have been able to attend a couple of baseball games in the summer.  I am thrilled every time Jane sends pictures. I noticed that just a few months makes a huge difference in the maturity of a child.  Jake has been active lately with basketball and loves to skate and as you can see has quite a sense of humor.
