I admit that I haven't updated this as much as I should. Jackson is doing great. He is talking all the time now and he loves to smile and laugh. The best news is that he is sleeping through the night. He started sleeping between 7 and 8 hours straight at about 8 weeks. It's sure a nice break for Nola. We just decided that we are going to get him dedicated at church on March 19. Nola's parents and Val and Troy are coming to town for the occasion. All in all life is good. I found a great site - www.vimeo.com - that lets you upload videos for everyone to watch. A few weeks ago when Lauren was staying with us for a week I got a bit carried away with the video setting on my digital camera. A few hours latter this is what resulted. Click on the picture to watch the movie. Anyway I keep trying to get Nola to write more of these. If I'm successful there should be more updates in the near future.

Hey, the world needs more updated pictures of Jackson. After all he's two months old on Saturday. So go check out this link .

Lauren has come to stay with us for a week while her parents are off cruising the Caribbean. Nola's mom has come to stay with us to help. So far things have been going great. Lauren and Jackson seem to get along great but we're not sure why Lauren thinks it's funny when Jackson cries.

On December 24 Nola, Jackson and I drove to the farm for Christmas. Jackson was very good and slept on the ride there and back. What a good boy. Saturday we went to the candle light service in Estevan. We stopped by Grandma’s house on the way home and got a 4 generation picture. Then on Sunday (Christmas Day) everyone came to the farm. We all opened presents, watched movies and played poker and Settlers of Catan. Oh yeah, and there was loads of good food. This was Both Lauren and Jackson’s first Christmas at the farm. They seemed to enjoy themselves and everyone enjoyed having them around. Monday after lunch we packed up and drove home. It was a beautiful day out and I got some nice pictures of the farm.

Last week we got the tree. As always it's a character tree, you never know what you're going to get when it opens up. This year was a good year and there weren't many surprises. After it opened for about 3 days Nola, Jackson and I decorated it. The tree was so tall that we couldn't put the angel on the top this year. Maybe that's a good thing as last year the angel kept committing suicide by diving head first off the tree. Here's what it looked like beginning to end:

Mom's favourite restaurant is Olive Garden. On Friday night Uncle Morley made a trip to Winnipeg and we went to eat some breadsticks, salad, and pasta. It was delicious. Jackson loved his time at the restaurant with Uncle Morely, After Olive Garden it is tradition to go to Starbucks. Once again we had a wonderful time. Mom enjoyed her steamed milk and dad had a hot chocolate. Jackson said when he gets older he will try coffee:)
