On Thursday, August 14th, we (Jonathan, baby Jack, Jessica, Jake, and I) were so fortunate to be able to drive to Austin to visit Jessica's grandmother, her two aunts and her cousins! It was such a fun afternoon! We talked and laughed and stared at Jack...! He is so loved!
Jessica got to show her family all the pictures of the birth as well as our portrait pictures from Portrait Innovations. They were so sweet....and when Jessica, her grandmother, and her aunts all laughed, they sounded EXACTLY the same! It was so cute!! Jessica certainly gets her cute nose from this side of the family too!!
Jessica's grandmother thanked us for giving Jack a good home and for loving Jessica! We told her that Jessica and Jack were both so easy to love....and that we had never met more thankful and grateful kids than Jessica and Jake!! She said that Jessica's mom was just like that as well! It makes me want to meet that side of the family too!Later that evening, Jennifer videotaped an interview of sorts with Jessica, Jonathan, and I. It was a video for Jack with all three of us talking about how we were matched with each other, our first visits, the birth, and then Jessica told Jack WHY she chose place him in our arms. It was very emotional....and super precious!
We were (and are) so thankful for such a special day!!

How WONDERFUL!! That video will be so precious to have!! Be sure and make copies and put one in a firesafe box and even a copy at someone else's house! (Can't be too careful!)
What a joyous memory for Jessica to get to show her little man to her family!!
Love,
Robbin
