Summer Time

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. Instead of trying to catch you up on everything, I'll share some of the highlights.

Most importantly, we finished our journey through the bible in May and it was an amazing experience. It will change your life, I promise. I'm thirsty for more and plan to begin another journey shortly. If you're still reading, don't give up. You CAN do this and you will be so glad you did!

I just glanced through my pictures from the last month and a half (if you know me, you know that took a while) and chose some of my favorites.

Father's Day

Jackson transitioned to his "big boy bed" last week. I wanted to cry. It's funny because I talked to a friend a few weeks ago and told her we'd probably keep him in his crib until he was three. I was shocked when after a nap he looked at me and said " climb out" and did. *Gasp* That was his last nap in his crib.

I was dreading night time. Not only was this transition yet another reminder that my baby is fading away but he also was running a fever and fighting a cold this day. I imagined lots of tears and putting him back to bed at least 47 times.

It was amazing, I still can't believe it. I bought him an Ernie doll as a surprise for being a big boy and told him his job was to stay in the bed with Ernie because he could not get out of bed. It worked. I heard him talking the next morning and went in to find him sitting straight up jabbering away. When he saw me he said, "Get out, please?" when I said yes he hopped out. I was in awe. Surely nap time would be a disaster. Nope. Just as easy. Hallelujah!
Jackson is very excited about becoming a big boy. This picture cracks me up. We're not training yet but he does ask to tee-tee in the potty occasionally (and does!). I plan on doing the "Three Day Potty Training Method" next month. Wish me luck! (I'm sure you'll read more about this experience later.)

After two years of growing I had enough hair to donate this month!

We had a great time at the beach house last week.
