I’m learning to count my blessings. It’s something I very much want my children to learn, too. So many times we go to the Lord to ask him for something specific, but how many times do we stop to say thank you for all we have? This month, I was sent a copy of Count My Blessings 1-2-3 from Tommy…

Happy 3rd Birthday, Jackson!
Happy Birthday, Jackson. You are a sweet boy and we love you dearly! It seems like yesterday, I was holding you in my arms and you were smiling sweetly at me. These days, you love playdough and sharpie markers. You think my purse is your personal stash of “cool stuff” and I find various chapsticks, my keys, driver’s license, and…
Jackson and the Kittens
He plays right into their tiny paws. He sees them looking in the window and he goes to let them into the house. They know just how to play him, looking all fluffy and cute.

Jackson

Blue Jackson
Darby found a marker. A blue marker. What else would she do with it, but give it to Jackson…..during nap time….in his bed. …never a dull moment.
These Men Learn Early
I’m not sure I understand, nor will I, the obsession men have with power tools. This is Jackson watching as some family friends came to remove the trees that had fallen around our chicken coop: He hasn’t even turned two yet!
Tantrums…
Not quite two yet. Poor Jackson. This is what happens when you have a sister who has been around the block more than a few times with younger siblings.
