I can't believe I haven't updated since March! So much has happened.
We did spring break in Arizona. My Aunt Michelle took gorgeous pictures of Jackson. Actually, they almost didn't happen. My son was such a diva the first afternoon we took him. He cried, ran, and had zero smiles for the camera. We decided to try him in the morning - and guess what? He's a morning dude! He did so well, and she was quick so it was a painless process. Check out her website - www.magicalmemoriesbymichelle.com If I find her some clients in my area, she'll come visit. :) We also had so much fun at the Phoenix Zoo. Jackson slept so well at their house, I'm sad we aren't there everyday!
To date, Jonathon has been gone 102 days. It's hard to believe on one hand because we're both so busy that time is flying by. And on the other hand, at night when we talk or when I'm getting ready for bed, he's noticeably not here. Jackson and I sure do miss him, but we're so thankful that we're already halfway to Jonathon's leave. He'll be here for our baby boy's SECOND birthday. Can you believe he'll be TWO!? I can't. Time flies when you're sleep deprived!
We're thinking of doing his party either labor day weekend or the following weekend. Depending on the days Jonathon gets off of course. WAIT, can you believe Jackson will be 2?!
Matthew and Emilie only have a few days left in school. I'm sure this will sadden Jackson because he loves to take them to school. He even grabs their lunches for them! He loves eating breakfast with them and being one of the big kids. Looks like J and I will have some quality morning alone time.
My Grandma has been in the hospital with some heart issues, so prayers would be greatly appreciated. She's my last, and dare I say, most influential, grandparent. She never missed sending us kids cards for holidays (some we weren't even aware existed! :), and she's just amazing. I call her once a week, and we can talk forever! Anyway, please keep her in your thoughts.
