Sorry I'm so behind, but I just wanted to say I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving holiday. We have had a great time in Pennsylvania, and it will be sad to leave. But next time we come up, there will be a new baby to adore and spoil rotten! We are so excited for Jodi and Jeremy. Can't wait for baby Ellie to get here!
I'll put more up when we get back in town....

Tagged...
I have been tagged by fellow Oct. 05 momma Kristi and I'm supposed to tell you seven things about myself that most of you don't know. Problem is, those who know me personally will most likely know these things. So I guess this is meant more for the fellow bloggers out there that have never met me in real life.
1) I went to college for 4 years, but didn't graduate. (that was 11 years ago and it still bums me out)
2) I do not like any kind of fruit in my baked goods.
3) Part of me really wants to live in Seattle. If it wasn't so far away from everyone...
4) I have three cats and one (large) dog, and I still think about more pets. (this might scare those close to me)
5) I am a MAJOR germ-a-phobe.
6) I have never been a big reader, however I've read 14 books in the last three months. 10 of those since the middle of September.
7) I can play the violin (not well) and I want to buy a piano for the kids (but really it's for me).
So, like I said, a lot of you know all this already, but some of you wouldn't.
I have no idea who to tag, so forgive me if I repeat someone.
I tag Kristen, Dave, Heather, Adrienne, Jacinda, Angela, and Julie. So if you've been tagged, you're supposed to tell us 7 things about yourself we don't know, and then tag an additional 7 friends that have web pages. Enjoy!

A bit overdue...
but here's Jackson through the years in photos. It's hard to believe from looking at the first photo that he would be so healthy now. He's come a long way in 6 years! And I forgot how cute he was as a baby/toddler! (okay - I didn't forget, just hadn't seen these pictures in a long time). Of course now he's a handsome young man. Ahhh - it's just not right! :-)
Isn't he just the cutest? Oiy - how did we get such good looking kids? They must take after their daddy!
Jackson is flying through kindergarten. We had his first parent/teacher conference and she said he is doing really well. His reading is insane - during his reading eval he read the sight words all the way through 4th grade. His comprehension needs to catch up, but it's crazy how well he reads. And the fact that he learned all on his own. We did not teach him how to read. Preschool did not teach him how to read. It's just the way he's wired. They are going to put him in a 1st grade reading group to start with and see how that goes. He's doing well in all his other subjects as well. He also got the comment "he keeps us entertained" on his report card. It is honestly the exact same comment his preschool teachers made last year. We all know how funny Jackson is. He is full of personality!
And if I can get sappy here for a moment...I love this kid so much it hurts. When I look at him I am just overwhelmed with all the possibilities of what he could become as an adult. I have no doubt he will be amazing.
