Trouble maker?

Some may say he is! I sure don't...not this time around at least.

Here are a few things that Jackson gets himself into that may make you think he's a trouble maker.

This boy LOVES books and can usually be found by the bookshelf in the living room, pulling books out of course.

 The other day, he crawled into my room, opened Mike's sock drawer, and pulled socks out to chew on them.

He likes the pedals on my piano too. He likes to push them while I play. I try hard not to pinch his hands.

 And if food is left out where he can get to it, he will dump it all out. He loves food!

 The toy basket is dumped multiple times a day by this little man so he can get to his toys.

 He must have wanted milk! He's not allowed on the counter any more!!

While I type this, he's getting into lots of other things...marbles (quickly took those away!), the stuff stored under the computer desk...nothing harmful there, papers, Emma's stuff, but I wouldn't change it for anything.

I LOVE this boy and I am so glad he came to be in our family!

New family pictures

We had family pictures taken a week ago and I LOVE them! I couldn't be happier with them. In fact, I love them so much, I can't stop looking at them. There are so many good ones, our awesome photographer put together a couple of collages so instead of me trying to pick which pictures to post, I'll just post a collage.

No worries Grandparents and Great-Grandparents, your pictures are on the way...

Thanks, Tami!
