Happy Labor Day 2011!

Happy Labor Day!

Life has been chaotic so blogging has been put off for awhile. August flew by like the wind and now we are in September. September signifies a change in the season...summer ending and autumn arriving.  As we start seeing the leaves turn from one color to the next, our lives are constantly changing as well. I always wonder how people balance work, life and the everyday challenges and still have joy in their lives. There really is only one answer-God.

Anyways, back to the "Low Down."  Our little guy is not so little anymore. Jackson grew one inch in one month. He is now 37 inches long and 2 1/2 years old.  His shorts actually look short and he is just long. He is still a great eater and likes to snack on cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks, fruit and usually just drinks milk and water. Jackson's speech is progressing and his vocabulary has expanded. He knows how to say important things such as "pizza...ice cream...Thomas...Harold...Bertie...and cars." 

Jackson spent a lot of time with Po Po (Grandma Gin) this summer.  They worked on the garden, drew pictures, and she taught him how to sing songs. Gong Gong (Grandpa Gin)  also visited us for month and we all had a lot of fun.  We went to Louisville and visited the Slugger Museum and Churchill Downs (the site of the Kentucky Derby). It was a great weekend trip and we all took home bats!


JLow 2 and 3 in front of the world's largest bat.



Jackson calls watermelon, "ha-ter-me-me."

Just taking care of business

Getting ready for "Game Day!"



We hope your summer was filled with fun just like ours. The big guy just woke up and now he wants to press all the keys on the computer!!!  Bye for now!
