Our boy is FIVE!




Five years ago we spent Christmas in the hospital... and we had the best Christmas ever! Hard to believer our little fella is 5... Five sounds so old!!

Jackson, if there is one word that characterizes you it is JOY. You are full of life and have such a sweet heart. You are a magnet for people with your energy, smile, and adorable laughs. You still like to introduce yourself (and us) to everyone you meet. The "no talking to strangers" talk is totally lost on you. Your heart is so tender for the less fortunate and sick. You are such a people-person! We pray that the Lord will use you in mighty ways to reach people for Him!

This past year you have surprised me with your hunger to learn - writing, some reading, Bible stories and more. I'm so proud of you! You can't wait to start Kindergarten this Summer... I'm having a hard time believing it's coming so soon!

You live in the world of imagination and sometimes Mommy and Daddy have a hard time keeping up with it! One minute we are superheroes, the next we are Disney's Imagination Movers, then dinosaurs, Toy Story characters, builders, robots, race car drivers.... the list goes on and on. You are quite creative!

You have far exceeded our expectations with your baby sister. You are so gentle and you love her so much! You have been a tremendous help - from wiping spit, bringing her toys, singing to her when she's upset, and playing with her. She is utterly in love with her big brother and thinks you hung the moon.

We love you so much!! You bring us immeasurable joy!
