Yesterday was your Uncle Jack's Birthday. Really he is your Great Uncle, but he is such an amazing presence in your life that it makes much more sense for you guys to just call him Uncle Jack. He was there for both of your births, to help us move, to put up ceiling fans, and most importantly he is always there to be a constant presence in your life.
He loves both of you so much, I love seeing your eyes light up when he calls or comes by. Last night he brought Holden over. You both love him too, I love to see you relate to family so well. At Thanksgiving Holden helped teach you to "play" the guitar. It wasn't a real guitar, it was some silly thing that your Grandpa has that was made from a beer can. But the good news is that when you are old enough I know that Holden can teach you to play the real guitar.
Elayna, you are quite smitten with Holden too, he is one of the few males in your life that you will let pick you up. Similarly, Uncle Jack was the first man (other than Daddy) that you cried for when he left. We were at International Date Night with Nana & co. at Cracker Barrel. Uncle Jack got up and left the table and your sweet little lip poked right out.
I am so glad that you will have such a positive role model to grow up knowing, and loving.
Thank you Uncle Jack for helping me to Defy Gravity & pass that along to my babies.
Happy Birthday.
