Our son, Jacob, was diagnosed with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) at a 20 week ultrasound. He had a 10% chance of survival.
He was loved and prayed for by countless people before God brought him into this world.
Jacob was born on January 26, 2009. On May 7, 2009, after 101 days in the NICU at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, we brought Jacob home.

God gave us a miracle.

January Journals: Day 27

Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth...

For Jacob's birthday we got tickets to the circus!  We have been talking about it with him for a while and he was very excited about going to the circus for his birthday.  He talked about seeing the Elephants mostly.  And...his favorite part was the Elephants.  In fact, he said they were "the best."  Here's some pictures from the evening!

Daddy and Jacob waiting for the circus to begin.  Jacob picked out a flashing light with an elephant on it.  :)

A picture of the arena before the show started.


The tight rope walkers, they were RIGHT in front of us!


Mommy and Jacob!


We all made it to the circus...Aunt Vonnie, Agga, Chappy, Aunt Jenny, Uncle Buh...

...Uncle Biggie, Misty...

...and Papa and G-Jo too.  What a fun time!


The jugglers juggling fire!

Jacob's expression for MOST of the show.  Ha!
Until tomorrow...
