Jackson Slideshow

It's (going to be) a...

...GIRL! We found out yesterday that Jackson is going to have a little sister! She is growing well (at 1 lb and 1 oz) and is measuring about 6 days ahead of our due date of April 27, 2007. It is amazing how much she already looks like her big brother.

Jackson's First Day of School

Yesterday was Jackson's very first day of school! His teachers reported that he had "a great first day." They couldn't stop talking about what a happy baby he is. It was a very big day for him. He skipped his morning nap, got his hand print posted on the classroom's Christmas Tree, and did his first finger-painting!! It is a beautiful green Christmas wreath. The only issue that he encountered was at snack time. I sent his favorite snack, "Wagon Wheels", but it appears that all of the other kids had "puffs". Apparently he wouldn't eat his wagon wheels.........today, we made sure to send puffs! I think that overall he had a lot of fun. By the time we got home, he was fast asleep (and he stayed asleep for over on hour--even through the phone ringing off the hook with everyone checking on him!) He was definitely worn out. I hope today goes just as well! Who knows, maybe this is our ticket to getting him to sleep through the night--here's to hoping!!

Thanksgiving

This was Jackson's first Thanksgiving, and what a great time he had! We started the day at Mama and Papa's house, where we visited briefly with the Mitchum family. We then travelled to Mount Pleasant for the "Mann Clan" family gathering. After a brief nap, he was ready for the big family photo and lots of delicious food! It was great to have the whole family all together again. Jackson thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of his relatives, many for the first time!
