From a Proud Momma....

We got Jackson's Fall Developmental Skills Checklist last week. He got all check pluses and the following note from his teacher: "Jackson is very interested in our learning activities. He is fascinated by just about anything we are covering. He really is like a 'sponge' soaking up every bit of information he can get! He loves to have discussions the best. He also enjoys a multitude of imagination games, like being a knight, or a hunter, or a race car driver.... Jackson treats all of his classmates with kindness and respect." We are so proud. Also, everyone keeps mentioning that he looks like he has grown. Well....he has, 2 inches since his birthday. He is in the 97% for height. I think he got the Sunder height.

It was so nice today - in the 70s. We played outside while Sawyer napped. He is doing very well in speech therapy. His new words are please, eat, and YEAH!!!!!

More Panama City Pics

Panama City!!!

We had a wonderful week with Grammz and Auntie in Panama City. We made our annual trip to Gulf World. Jackson saw the dolphin show 4 times and was a volunteer each time!! We also went bowling, visited Zoo World and had dinner with Kathy & Bernie each night. Sawyer enjoyed bowling, but only when it was his turn. We got to pet a wolf and feed some farm animals. We had a couple of very nice days. Jackson and I even went to the beach barefoot. Sawyer got spoiled rotten by the holders and I got some shopping time to myself. It was a wonderful trip as always. We are settled in at home again. We are all fighting the sniffles but ready to get back to school & the gym tomorrow.

At home

Jason represented CG Station Mayport at several Auxilary change of commands his week and looked very handsome in his uniform. The boys enjoyed their after church donut. We are anxious for Grammz to come on Friday and then we are off to Panama City to visit Auntie. Daddy will enjoy a "bachelor" weekend.

Uncle Joey's

The highlight of the trip was a visit to Jason's brother Joey's house. Jackson got to shoot a real gun under close supervision. He was SOOOOO excited.

On to West Virginia

We made it to WV in spite of the FOOT of snow they had. It was beautiful but cold. Jackson & Sawyer had Christmas again and got to hang out with their cousins. We had a great time out at the Moose Lodge for New Years.

Christmas at the beach

The first leg of our trip was Christmas with the Porters / Sunders in Oak Island, NC. Jackson was relieved that Santa found us. I got to eat oysters with my grandfather and we even got to see a little snow. We also went to the Dixie Stampede and had a GREAT time.
