Jake is the first boy in the family. My parents were told, after the birth of girl #3, that they would never have a son. Well, Jake is the 1st of five sons and definitely got a new trend going. He is a student in at UGA and is dating a really sweet girl named Halle. He is bright, cute, funny and much more sensible than I am. He works with computers and has considered the Peace Corps. I don’t know where he will end up settling but hope that it isn’t too terribly far away. I don’t see him nearly enough as it is but, even with visits pretty spaced, both kids love Uncle Jake and poor Halle gets dragged over to the couch by Joshua almost the moment they step in the door to "please read." She is always willing to take the time and I really appreciate that. Jake is hard to describe. He has always been a strong person but with this amazing amount of calm that I’ve never possessed. There is a silly side there that those lucky enough to know him get to see now and then. :o) Here are a couple of pictures of the 1st boy in the lineup (and his girlfriend)
