It;s hard to believe, but my little boy Jacob is 7 years old today!!! 7!!! How could time go by so fast?
Today is also Martin Luther King day... I am not sure if it's his birthday or just a day to remember him. But he sure was an important figure in American history for the human right freedom. He was the one that spoke strongly for black people's freedom. A well-respected person in this country. So the boys had no school today, so we asked Daddy to take a day off too.. so we could spend Jacob's birthday together as a whole family.
Today is also extremely cold, maybe the coldest day in this year. It's about 32 F degree, which is below 0. And it really feels like 16 F degree when we were outside.
We started the day with the 2 boys snuggled up in our bed. It felt so nice to have all 5 of us in our bed. We talked and the boys giggled with their little sister and we all wished our big boy a happy birthday.
Near lunch time we decided to go out, although it was freezing cold outside. We had to return a toy boat that was not good, then we went to Ikea for lunch and some shopping. Well we didn't expect to buy anything big but we eneded up looking at the desk set that Chocolate and Joanne have in their house. It is actually twin sets of desks that can be combined into a huge work station. We talked about having them for the boys to do homework and later on we would buy computers for them to use. Then we said it would be nice if we could get Chocolate to apply the 15% employee discount for us because the desks are not cheap... $310 a piece. Then when daddy took Timothy to use the restroom for the 2nd time
me and Jacob ran into Chocolate. Then after a very brief discussion we decided to buy the desks right then! 
That is how daddy is. For the boys he would buy things without any hesitation. We never bought a desk for ourselves for this much money, but when we consider anything good for the boys, daddy will buy anything that we can afford for the boys.
Then we said this would be the big birthday present for Jacob(although we really have bought a digital camera for him for his 7 year old birthday!!). What a spoiled boy he is. hehe. But we feel it's money well spent. Now I can't imagine how daddy will treat his little princess when she reaches 7!! Hopefully she won't ask for a horse cause she might very well get it from her daddy!!
So at a very cold day, daddy packed the big pieces of the desks on top of our van and inside our van (for about 30 minutes!) then we headed home. We asked Jacob what kind of cake he would like to get, well he doesn't really like sweets that much. He said he would rather have a piece of La Madeleine's Tiramisu. so that's what we got. It might look small but it is really delicious and pricy.
We got home and while I prepared dinner, Jacob did his math homework(what a good boy) and daddy started working on assembling the desks. Later we put candles on the Tiramisu and Jacob blew the candles before we started singing happy birthday !!
I gave my big boy a HUGE hug and told him how much I love him before I sent the boys to bed. I indeed love them very much, they enrich my life in so many ways. I can't thank the Lord enough for giving me these 3 percious children. They are just perfect in everyway in our family. I pray the Lord will keep them always this pure and simple, with health and happiness everyday, that they will be vessels to contain Himself.
p,s, On our way to Ikea, both boys decided they will never get married. They want to stay home with mommy forever. Just these words for this moment is enough. I know one day they will leave our nest to build their own. But I will always rememebr their love for their mommy, on the day of Jacob's 7th birthday.
p,s,2. This morning I got to talk to 淑慧 for a while on the phone. I was so happy to hear her voice. It was great to talk to her about our babies and other things. Hopefully we will have opportunities to get together sometime.
