First week back!

So... I went back to work on Thursday! And.... it was really a lot easier than I thought it would be. Amazing how God gives us grace and strength to walk through what He has called us to walk through. Thursday and Friday, Tyler was able to be home to keep Jackson, which probably made things a lot easier as well. Friday, he even got to see his GranGran, Poppy, and Uncle Dustin, so I'm sure he didn't even miss me that much! Tomorrow, I go back to work "for real" and my mom will be keeping him, which means up and at 'em early & across town to drop him off. We'll see how that goes in the morning! He's like his momma and likes his sleep in the mornings. Here's a picture from last week (8 weeks old):

The Easter Bunny brought Jackson some much-needed short-sleeved clothes! Suddenly the weather got much warmer!

Love this smile! He has my heart, for sure.

Friday night, Brennan was home from Belmont and we went to eat dinner with my family. We grilled out burgers and just enjoyed hanging out. It was also the day Jackson turned two months old! Jackson had a nice conversation with Grandpa Chris:


This weekend, we also bought an SUV! It's a 2003 Lincoln Navigator. We were really out of room with my little car, and Tyler had a Ford Ranger, which you cannot put a carseat in, so we had to get something a little bigger. It's so nice to be able to haul things around, too! We are blessed.

We took Jackson to Easter service on Saturday night. He was great through praise and worship, but got a little fussy when the sermon started, so he and I hung out in the foyer the rest of the service. It was still nice, though, and we honestly met a few other families while we were out there! Here are some pictures of us on our way to Saturday night service:The loves of my life!

Sweet, sweet, sweet!

My favorite boy on the planet!

Then, since we had gone to church Sat night,we slept in late. This is quite possibly my most favorite picture EVER!

We had an early lunch at my grandparents' before Brennan had to go back to Belmont. A nap ensued:

Uncle Brennan getting some loves:

Today, Jackson and I went for his 2-month checkup. He weighs 11 lb, 11.5 oz now! 50th percentile. He's getting so big, so fast! I can't believe it! Then, we went to Sam's to stock up on formula and diapers... it's incredible how fast you can go through that stuff!

Whew... I guess we had a pretty eventful week after all! Day by day, that's all we can do.
