All is well that ends well...right?

Today was just one of those days where I felt discouraged about my "mom" efforts. I got after them more, where I should have stopped and listened. I worried too much about getting the floors in the bathroom sealed than just being with them. We had several melt downs (me included). My focus was just off today, but as I was putting Jackson to bed we had a discussion about the day and I apologized for not being "me", he smiled, gave me a hug and a kiss and told me it was alright and that "we will be better tomorrow, it's ok". Bless kids and their ever forgiving natures. I feel better already.

The sun was out... and so were we

The past few days have been fabulous. It is still really cold but there have been clear skies (which we don't get a lot of in these parts). On Sunday we took advantage and walked down to some soccer fields just down the road from us. It was nice for everyone...although it made me incredibly anxious for the warm weather to come and we still have months before that happens!

Just thinking

For all those who know Jackson, he has his, well energetic side, but quite often I will find him quietly doing "nothing". When I ask him what he is up too he says, "I am just thinking". What I wouldn't give to peak inside that cute head of his!

The Eight Hour Hug

You just gotta love this guy. He is a fantastic snuggler. He would stay cuddled up with me all day if he could. This could help explain why he loves this "toy" so much. He straps that bear on and it gives him "loves" for as long as Oliver wishes. Too cute.
