So I thought blogging was going to be this easy thing that I would do every couple days, and it's obviously been a while. I was looking back at pictures I took recently when Jackson had an infected lymph node, ear infection, etc. He doesn't get simple illnesses, it's always something more dramatic. We went to the going out of business sale for Kay-B toys that week and saw these punching bags. This was Jackson's first time taking on Batman.




Setting up...



Get ready...



The side-arm...




"I love you Batman!"


As I look at our crazy schedule right now and think of the limited precious time I have with Jackson, I have to say that one of my favorite things we do together is read the Bible and The Very Hungry Caterpillar before bed. Jackson LOVES hearing about Jesus each day. The children's Bible we have ends each short story by focusing on how it relates to God's ultimate plan to redeem and save His children. It's awesome because the focus is always on Him rather than anything else.

I have to get Jackson reading on tape, but that's his newest thing. He can read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and has to for either Shane or I every night. It's a riot. It's the best!


A quick funny story (it may not have been so funny if it happened to me). We don't have baby powder in our house, because honestly, I don't know what to use it for, but my sitter, Dee does. Jackson got a hold of it today while she helped her son in the bathroom, who is potty training. When she came out, Jackson had poured powder in all the toys, the play kitchen, and all over the floor in her living room. It still smelled like powder when I got there after school. I felt bad for her having to clean it all up, but I'm sure Jackson had fun. Hopefully, he now knows that it's not a toy and will stay away from it. We'll see.
