One year ago today at 9:26am, our beautiful, 7lb 7oz, 20.5″ long, baby boy was born. Mama J and I  had whittled a long list of names down to two. After taking one look at him, we settled on Jacob.

Since then, a bet from my wife and friends led to ‘Jake 365’. ‘Jake 365’ then spun into http://www.onefunnydaddy.com and it’s Facebook page. (see http://www.onefunnydaddy.com/2011/06/let-me-introduce-myself.html)

I just want to say THANK YOU to all of you that inspired and encouraged this journey, and continue to inspire me every day! I think all of our posts, advice and jokes are what get us both through the tougher times. Just because Jake turned one, doesn’t mean this all grinds to a halt. I need you! We’re just getting started!

I literally have to run. The car is warming up. Time to pick up food and put the finishing touches on the house for the big party!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON!!! I promise that these last 365 days of posts will be neatly compiled into a book for you to read somewhere down the line! Thank you for teaching me the true meaning of family, responsibility, and unconditional love. I love ya, little buddy.

We’ll see you all later:)
