Picture(s) of the Day


Sometimes stories are better told through pictures. Even Jackson will tell you that!! This one speaks of the goodness of cooking dinner with Momma and Dad and of getting chocolate pudding just because you are an extra sweet little boy (And because it is the "good" kind with lots of vitamin A and D : ) Momma is sneakier than you know : ).
Not from today but a few nights ago. A bird we killed and cleaned ourselves. Ready to be roasted with onion, garlic, butter, and spice galore drizzles on it.... A very tasty chicken, indeed!

I worked today at the Cracker Barrel (As I do every Sunday, it is beneficial to work with the public from time to time and the extra cash is nice.) and so my boys were let to fend for themselves. I found this picture on my camera when I came home. It literally melted my heart. Jackson has the best father.And then this really says it all... "Slow Down" you will see in the background (if you look really hard) and that is exactly what I did as I sat and played with my boy taking a series of photographs and reading his favorite stories. He has been picked up by his grandparents for a few days so that I can study tomorrow and go to school on Tuesday. I have been spoiled by his presence over this break. Even when he screams at me, even when he screams at the world, I love this little guy. He reminds me that I need to Slow Down.

I love this, Amber!! You look beautiful and little Jack looks like he has grown since I seen him last only a few short weeks ago!

Kayla - They never slow down, do they?! One week I am sorting through clothes and putting the 18 month back because they are too big, 2 weeks later I have to drag them out because nothing fits!
