We've had a busy month! We were involved in some monkey business as Jackson's friend, Jack Weeks' (my friend, Brooke's son) had his 3rd birthday. It was a great time, with cupcakes and ice cream and all the usual festivities. Brooke does such a great job with the kids' birthday parties! The first birthday party, of many I'm sure, Jackson will attend.
We also made a trip to Redmond to visit Grandpa Mark and Grandma Mary. We had a great visit, but boy was it cold!! brrrr! Jackson had the opportunity to meet Miss Teagan. She is six weeks older than him, so it was fun to see what we can look forward to in just a few short weeks! They had a blast together.
We've also started taking Griffin again on Mondays. We are thrilled to be seeing him on a regular basis again and look forward to watching him and Jackson grow and interact. He's such a sweetie, we've really missed him these last few months!
Unfortunately, Jackson had his first cold last week. He was such a trooper though, hardly complained. Mommy spent the week at home with him cuddling him! He's feeling much better now. It's so hard to see him sick when he's so little and can't do anything about it. Thank goodness Daddy ordered our humidifier the week before, that definitely came in handy!
We are all looking forward to the holiday season. We're spending Thanksgiving in Portland this year, it'll be nice to stick close to home! We got our first dusting of snow last night and it's COLD here! We're wishing safe travels for all of you who aren't sticking close to home and looking forward to seeing many of you this weekend!
gobble, gobble!!
