Its no secret. We don't attend church. Sure we've gone on a holiday or two in years past - but not since Jackson has been born.
We recently attended a First Communion ceremony for our niece, Madeline. It wasn't until that day that I realized that Jackson had never been to a church. Hmmmm....
During the ceremony, I could tell Jackson was taking it all in. We have spent many weekends watching my nieces at cheer competitions. All Jackson new about our day at church was that it was a special day for Madeline. He sat there taking it all in and then looked at me and said, "Mom, is this cheer practice?". Hmmm.... I knew we had a problem.
Days later, our neighbors- Kyle and Krista- invited Jackson to attend Vacation Bible School at their church with their son (and Jackson's Best Bud) Ryne. Justin and I signed him right away.
Jackson was super excited and was very chatty about his upcoming week at Bible School the night before it started. Check out our night time conversation:
A big thanks to Krista for capturing a couple photos of the boys on their first day!
Jackson can't wait to go back tonight!
Hopefully- soon Jackson will understand the difference between church and cheer practice! ;)
Tonight, our little guy played in his first T-ball "game" (more like practice - but he sure thought he was "big-time").
Justin and Jackson have been practicing with a new bat and glove from Mamaw Charsh...I can't tell who loves it more - Justin or Jackson...or me (its pretty adorable to watch!)...
A littler later than I promised...but here is Jackson's third birthday party post... :)
I'm still recovering from a busy month of May...but mostly from a FANTASTIC Walt Disney World Vacation with Jackson and our entire family. The Disney post is coming with video and pictures....for now, I thought I should finally share those birthday party pics I'd promised! :)
Enjoy!
A big thanks to those of you who joined us. It is always so great to look around and realize how lucky we are to have so many friends and family who love Jackson so much!
