Jacob
Don’t forget Jacob
I naturally have written more about Ava in these last 2 months than my boy, but Jacob has had some noteworthy accomplishments. The most exciting is he is now potty trained. He was definitely on the late end of the spectrum, accomplishing it 3 months shy of his 4th birthday. But he has done it. [...]
Resemblance of Jacob and Ava
Shannon and I definitely see the resemblance between Jacob and Ava and others have said so as well. Here are some pictures of both of them from their first week of life in similar poses.
What a last few weeks and what a week to come!
In the last 3 weeks, I have traveled to DC for a day meeting but been stranded in Detroit because of a delayed flight due to inclement weather, I have taken some vacation and upgraded (i.e. spent money and moved furniture) Jacob’s room to a “big boy’s room”, got rid of naps (most days) for [...]
Personal Challenges #2: Focus on Quality Time with Jacob
Another one of my personal challenges this year is to be deliberate and consistent in spending quality time with Jacob. Through these first couple of years, you spend so much time on the care part of rearing your child. You do interact and play with him but the “play” is very light. It is all [...]
Jacob Drumming
I took this with my camera at church a while back. We were waiting outside Shannon’s office when Mr. Curious decided to investigate the drum set. He got both sticks, began striking the different pads and began to play with decent form. He even figured out the foot pedal for the bass drum. What is [...]
Look at the scary dragon!
Last week was of course Halloween. It turned out to be the first holiday Jacob really got into and anticipated. He was excited about the Fall Festival outreach our church did. Not that he was excited about reaching out to a lost world, but only the games and candy which we told him was there. [...]
My Life as a Play: Disciplining Jacob and Disciplining Daddy
Setting: Daddy is trying to put together some cardboard boxes for use as storage containers. They come flat so it requires some bending and folding. Jacob is trying to help Daddy but keeps stepping on the boxes and the DVD boxes laying around which will go into the cardboard boxes. Daddy: Jacob, don’t step on [...]
A Look Back at Jacob – His First Year
Jacob will be turning 3 this Sunday, and we have both a family birthday party on Saturday and another for his little friends on Sunday. I am sure I will have lots of pictures/videos to post from the weekend, but here is a look back at the video I made for his first year of [...]
Jacob’s Preschool
Last week Jacob finished preschool at South Haven Baptist Church. Here are some pictures from his first day and his last day. Looking at these pictures brings strong emotions and vivid thoughts to my mind, and together they say far more than I can adequately put forth in 4000 words. He is Jacob Dallas Meadors, [...]
What a last couple of weeks
I have not make any posts in the last few weeks because this site was pretty far down my list of priorities. On July 25, my friend Tony Dorris committed suicide. Tony had a history of drug abuse and in a dark state believed some lies about himself and took his own life. He was a member of my Sunday [...]
