Pollinate thy self

I just got back from a fantastic California adventure with the Sposa clan: Christen, Dad and Kathy. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed ourselves to the fullest with fantastic food and many many adult beverages.

My Camera had accumulated some dust on the sensor and I just got it cleaned today so I am really enjoying snapping some photos. This shot is one of the beautiful flowers Jon brought home.

Cuts and Coughs

The kids are feeling pretty crummy so we are totally home bound today. I can tell Jillian is already going stir crazy but poor Jackson is just laying on the floor playing with trains and cars. He has a low grade fever and a pretty horrendous cough for one that popped up overnight. I'll just have to watch him closely. I tend to have flashbacks of when he was 18 months and developed pneumonia less then 24 hours from the start of his symptoms. I'm always worried about Jackson and the possibility of him developing asthma like I had growing up.

We went to the Farmers Market yesterday and bought lots of goodies including ingredients for Chicken Souvlaki. I decided that today was a good day to make it since I had the time to make everything and let it marinade. After I squeezed the lemons and mixed the balsamic vinegar, I was slicing some zucchini to add to the marinade and I really sliced my finger, OUCH! I don't think I need stitches but it is a deep one and the lemon juice and vinegar doesn't help the pain. I Hope this dinner is worth the pain LOL!

Movie of the kids

It's a little old but entertaining all the same!

Jackson and Jillian

Brother and sister, they make me so proud! They are such good kids filled with spunk and personality. What would I do without them?

Like father like son

Jackson and Jon both took off across the parking deck outside the aquarium to look at Jackson's new favorite thing...the city! I loved the way the parking deck framed them looking out and how they are holding hands. I really love this photo, so sweet!

The Fabulous 4 J's

That is of course Jon, Jennifer, Jackson and Jillian! After many attempts to keep an online journal for friends and family, I am trying to yet again keep this one going.

We are all doing well. Jon is still slaving in the sun for Delta but we love those flying benefits. I am still helping people become moms for the first time or the 11th, it's always special. My interest in photography has flourished with the purchase of a shoe mount flash and nice macro lens.

The kids are growing up so fast! Jackson has especially changed a lot these last few months. He is talking so much! His verbiage is clear and he knows what to say to get what he wants. He loves doing arts and crafts and is learning to draw trains. He is good at coloring too and just recently started using his "safety scissors." His new obsession seems to be planes and photography (I wonder where he got that from!)

Jillian is a little motor mouth. She is very chatty and witty with a great sense of humor. She enjoys tormenting her brother, coloring, playing with her babies and dressing up. She loves shoes, it's so funny to see her in a shoe store trying on everything.

Our house is for sale, hopefully with any luck we will get our asking price and be moving to the north side of town. If anyone is looking for a nice home, give them our MLS number!
