There are two things that give me more pride than anything else…  And one of them will be celebrating his 2nd birthday on Saturday.

In reaching back two years for a post, this is the one that jumped out…  I loved the first thing he had to say after being born.

Last week he got his big present… a “Big Boy Bed”.  He doesn’t seem to be sure what to think of that whole thing…  He likes it, but isn’t so sure that sleeping in it is cool.

And he isn’t shy about letting his feeling be known.  But I can’t imagine being more proud.  My boys are both amazing people.

Happy Birthday Jackson!

A while back, I wrote that I had volunteered with Junior Achievement.  Up until now we hadn’t been able to find an assignment that was reasonably close… but that changed this week.

Do you know who “Flat Stanley” is?  Ours is actually a “Flat Garrett“, but the idea is the same…

He is traveling the world, in an envelope.  We set up a website at FlatGarrett.info to chronicle the visits Flat Garrett makes between now and Spring Break.
