Finally!

After more than a week of rain and clouds, we finally saw this yesterday! Jackson was finally able to get out of the house and run around in the yard some.

Getting warmed up


He decided it would be fun to collect as many acorns as he could and then throw them at me. He thought it was just hilarious! I guess that's my payback for following him around with the camera.

"Eat, Sadie!"

The bottom fell out once more early this morning and I thought we were headed for another week like the one in the post below . . . here's keeping our fingers crossed we see more sun

We'll Take a Rain Check

Rain, rain go away

Come again

another day

Little Jackson

wants to play

Slow

Well, we've had another slow week with not much to report. It's hard getting a picture of Jackson these days. As soon as he spots the camera, he immediately turns his back. I did manage a couple of pictures, though.

I caught him running (why his hair looks like it does) and making a face

I'm sure he was telling me something about the dirt in his hand here. He was filthy--he had rubbed dirt all in his hair.

Well, that's it, short and sweet! I figured the grandparents were feeling picture deprived, so here are a couple!

ARE YOU READY???

Bumps and Bruises

We've had a busy week, but no pictures to really show for it. If you were to see Jackson right now, you might think he's just returned from a battle (and maybe that his parents don't keep an eye on him--but, really, we do). He has bruises all over him. Last week, he was terrorizing Sadie by chasing her around on his tricycle (one without pedals, he just scoots). She stopped running from him and Jackson ran into her and toppled over the tricycle hitting his check on the ground and leaving a mark. The next day he was playing superman on the couch, performed a death-defying stunt, rolled off and hit his legs on the coffee table. Now he has two big bruises on the back of both legs. Then, he was outside and mosquitoes attacked him. The bottom of his poor little legs are covered in bites . . . and then ants got a hold of him. He takes it all in stride and nothing slows him down. Here are a few pictures from the last week or two, before the battle wounds.

Still fascinated with Daddy's truck

Saying "Cheese!"
