4th Birthday

Jackson's birthday fell on a Saturday this year, so it was one big party day. His friend Michael spent Friday night with us. We woke up and had cinnamon rolls. We also collected all the cars we could find and set them up(yes there are some missing). I worked hard at decorating his cake from a picture I found on the internet. I think it came out pretty good. :) Definitely tasted good!

He's come a long way!

It's hard to believe our little premie is 4 years old now. I had to put these pictures up as a comparison. He was born 4 lbs 1 oz and 16 inches long. He now is 36 lbs and 41 1/2 inches tall (75% for his age). In this 2nd picture, he is wearing a premie outfit that was still too big for him. I think that's the first time he had on real clothes (thanks Uncle Clay) and he was probably 10 days old. Wow! All I can say is God is good. He definitely took care of all of us those first couple of weeks. I remember the nurse saying that he would have to be in the hospital up to his due date which would have been 8 weeks, and yet because of many prayers, he was home in just 3 1/2 weeks. Thanks to all of you for your prayers and support during that time.

Jackson's fall projects

A friend gave me the idea of taking pictures of all the kids projects instead of feeling like I have to keep them all. These are things Jackson and I worked on around Thanksgiving.

Fall Fun!

Okay, so it is December, but that happens to be when our leaves fall off the tree. The boys had great fun destroying Clay's piles.































If you look closely, there are 2 blonde heads in this pile of leaves.

Center Stage

Once again, Jackson tried to steal the show with his bell ringing. He was right in the middle of the stage a good foot in front of everyone. He shook that bell emphatically! He even bent over at the end and tried to sing into the microphone. I guess he takes after his dad.
