And We're Back!!!

After a world wind summer and trying to manage being a full-time working lady + mommy...I am back. July was sort of a blur with illnesses and family visits. I will have to post pictures later from all of the visitor's that came and saw Jackson! Jackson has had a great summer so far and we can not believe it is September already. Jackson is growing rapidly and just weighed in at 33 lbs. He is tall enough now to turn the water faucets on in the bathroom! His favorite thing right now is a "car" and he will say hello and bye to just about everyone he sees. He is trying to say short sentences and talks constantly. He likes to take you by the hand and show you around constantly saying, "see, see, see"! He got his first haircut last wednesday and now he doesn't look like a baby anymore. He sadly looks like a little boy. He is growing up way to fast. Maybe I should have another one...

On the move...

We are currently getting the final touches to our new home ready for our BIG MOVE!!! At least this time we will be only going 20 miles up the road instead of half way around the world. We haven't set a date for the move yet but will let everyone know as soon as we make a decision. More Big News later...

1st Boat Adventure...

Our friends, The Wellen Family, had us over on their boat for lunch last Sunday! Jackson had a blast and I can't wait to get him into the water. He especially loved the stirring wheel on the boat!!!!

1st Birthday Portraits!!! Beautiful boy...

Good Times...

Happy 1st Birthday!!!

Sweetness is finally 1 year old! Oh how time flew by this year! It seems like yesterday I was sitting in labor and delivery anxiously awaiting his arrival. Not to mention the 4 feet of snow outside and the fact I was in Oslo, Norway. This past year has been a whirlwind and now I am happy to saw we are beginning a new chapter or our lives here in Northern Virginia. I look forward to taking Jacskon to the National Zoo and touring the National Mall during my favorite time of year...when the Cherry Blossom’s are in full bloom.
