2 years and 2 months

So as of yesterday, Jackson is 2 months old! We went to the pediatrician on Friday and he weighs 12 lbs 9 oz, and is 23.5 inches long. He is growing like a weed and has already outgrown his newborn clothes. He is currently wearing 3 month clothes, since it's all that fits him. Here are some recent pictures:
















Watchin tv:) ha

Anyway me and Danny also celebrated our 2 year anniversary last Tuesday! It was our first time leaving Jackson and going out by ourselves! We somehow managed to survive:) and we had a really yummy dinner. Anyway the baby is crying so I better go..

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all my family!
Maybe some year I will live in a house again, and you all can visit me and sleep in my extra bedroom(s). Wouldn't that be nice! Until then, I am grateful for the opportunity to travel and visit each one of you & your families, and each one is a treasured visit. As you know, I went to Niel's for Thanksgiving, and was there when Simon was blessed. I also enjoyed raking leaves--it brought back memories of earlier years, both my growing up years, and your growing up years.
Then I went to Dorothy's for Christmas, where we enjoyed a white Christmas, and I shoveled snow, snuggled with Gwendolyn, and we played lots of games. I was able to visit with Aunt Thelma & Donald's family, Aunt Dottie & Glenn, Aunt Esther & Uncle Louis, and Uncle Peter & Aunt Diana. I also enjoyed dinner at Lynn & Larry's house, with Audrey & her family (including 2-year old daughter), Jacob and his girlfriend. I met Kathy's new husband, Sam Milano, and when I got home I bought some Milano cookies so I would remember their last name. Kathy is very happy. For now, they are living with Aunt Esther, and Kathy is still working at Hartwick College, my Alma Mater. Oh, yes, Dorothy, Tristian & Gwendolyn joined me for our traditional pizza at the Mahers'. Alyssa was there, and I also had opportunities to visit with Lydia and Angela & her little boy Xavier.
Now it's back home & back to school for my last semester. My New Year's resolution and key goal for this year is: Preparation . . . Preparation for retirement, a mission, and beyond.
I love you all! Mom

Baby Jackson

Hello family! It's time for some updates from us! We are so excited to finally have baby Jackson with us. He's a really good baby, and is growing like a weed:) the first picture here is from last sunday when he got blessed. My mom made his whole outfit complete with vest and bowtie!


This is a pic I took just yesterday when he was chillin out in his swing...


This next one is such a hilarious face. Not sure how I managed to capture it, but here it is:)


Next is a classic passed out picture. This is something that happens most afternoons:)


Jackson is almost 5 weeks old already, and is doing wonderful. He's sleeping better at night, it's still not perfect yet, but it's getting better. Anyway, that's the update from us:) hopefully now that I'm home all day I will find time to do more blogging:)
