Highs and Lows

Some years we go all year without any snow. This year we've had our fair share of ice and snow. January started off with ice and snow as I posted earlier. Then at the end of January we had a beautiful spring like weekend with a high of 70! It sure gave us all spring fever. We enjoyed playing in the back yard and at the park. Now it's February and here we are with another snow day. Although, I love the Spring and prefer warm weather I am enjoying the beautiful white snow God gave us today. Jackson and I even got out in it some this morning. Here are some pictures of our weekend of "highs" in the 70's and "lows" with snow.

I am really enjoying this time with Jackson. While he still needs some disciplining at times he is really very obedient and tons of fun. It is so fun to have conversations with him these days. And he can sing! Usually it's just me singing songs to him but I recently discovered that he knows the words to lots of songs. His favorites are: Jesus Loves Me, Joy Joy Joy and He's Got the Whole World. It is so precious to watch and listen to his little singing voice.

Jackson is so independent these days, which is good since we are expecting our new little one very soon. He can take off his shoes, socks, pants and jacket. (We are still working on the shirt). He can wash his hands, brush his teeth, get into his car seat all by himself and take all of his dishes to the sink after eating. He is really excited about "helping Mommy" when the baby comes. I can't believe he is growing up so fast!
