Jackson 453 days old


It has been a fun couple weeks since our last post. This last week the Day care was on break so Gram and Bebo came down to spend time with Jackson. He loved it. Last weekend we went to Ikea ( a surprisingly fun experience, despite the parking looking like Disney World) and we got Jackson his own little tunnel. He loves it. It is so fun to watch him and hear him laugh. We have some pictures from the last week. The 11th, the 14th and from the 16th, as well as the "weekly update" of him. This next week will be very busy as Mary goes to Denver for work for the week. I will have to play single parent for the week. Mary better enjoy the quite she gets. I may be too over loaded this week to get a new post up, but we will see.

Upto 440 days


Every time we work on the post, which we do know is far between, we can't help but see and think how much he has changed since the last post (let alone since the beginning). We have been busy in Portland. We have made an offer on a house, that has been accepted. Here you can see us visiting the outside of the house This coupled the soon closing of our house in Eugene will make August a very busy month. But for now a recap of the past few weeks. Two weeks ago Gram and Bebo came down for a visit. It was an action packed weekend. We showed off the house (see above), we went down town for the Beer Festival. The theory was to try lots of beer and get out side, instead it was like a bad frat kegger just with better beer, if you could stand the "lines" ( and I use that word very, very loosely). The three beers we tried we great, but the hour it took to get them made this a less than fun part of the day. We have a better plan for next year. But we did go play in the fountain, and boy did he ever have fun. This last weekend was busy as well. Jackson got his first real hair cut. He would have done much better had not just hit his head on a counter. But it looks good. Then on Sunday we went to the beach. He did real well, the water was cold, but he had fun. We have updated the "weekly pictures" as well, which is what sparked the comment about how much he has changed. I am not sure what we are doing next weekend, other than the Farmers Market. But we will keep all y'all posted.
