Summer 2010

Summer...What can I say?  It has been the rest that I very much needed from school.  I have been blessed to be able to spend so much time with my beautiful baby little boy.  We have gotten really attached to each other and I'm afraid the transition back to school is going to be very difficult. Along with the literal strides that he has made with his walking, now considered a gallop, he has made tremendous growth in his talking.  We like to refer to his language as "Jackonese".  It's really funny to hear his interpretation of words that he hears and to hear that nice southern draw come out.  He can say a lot of words and will attempt most any new word if the mood is right.  Some of the Jackonese that we have heard this summer is: ga-ga (grapes) which also closely resembles gone-gone, na-na (banana), go-gu (yogurt), nanna (granna), paw (grandpa), pawpaw, momo (mamaw), ma-e (Maggee), co-co (Courtney), ba-uh (bear), bo-bo (hippo), dye-dye (bye-bye), namen (amen), dog, momma, dadda, baby, owside (outside), whassat? (what's that), whosat (who's that?), and cah (car).  It's been such a fun time to watch him grow and change and experience new things for the first time.  How does that song go?  "These are the best days of my life..."
It's summer and some idiot still has this on his window!

Happy Father's Day Grandpa!
PawPaw wasn't here, but we love him too and are thankful for all the Godly men in Jack's life.
First trip in the ocean!

First four wheeler ride with Uncle Wayne and Harlee, Griffin, and Jake.
Chilaxin' in his pool at home!
The beach was fun, but most of our summer was spent doing things like this.
