Just when you need it most . . .

This little fella walks around a corner looking like this and all you can do is smile, hug and kiss him. The three of us were at my parents' house and Jackson had been in their cabinets and made off with some Tupperware. This picture was taken just a short time after we found out my Grandfather passed away. At the time, we needed something happy and Jackson walked in and gave us what we needed.

This was taken when Jackson was 3 weeks old with my close family (parents, both sets of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins). You can barely see Jackson's little head in Zach's arms and my grandfather sitting at the end of the couch. Among other things, I can only hope that Jackson will inherit some of my grandfather's sense of humor, calm disposition and sweet spirit.
