Catching up ... until 8 October 2007!

Cate and Jackson enjoying some rays at the beach.

Jonathan and Mommy (no, I am not pregnant).

Jackson and buddy, Asbhy. Super Couch Heroes.

Jackson on his first day at school. The is the first year he has ever wanted to go to school!

Our family at the 2007 Buddy Walk. PADS raised over $92,000 to go towards the

Adult Down Syndrome Clinic we started that will serve the southeast (if you want

to donate you can go to www.downsyndromealabama.org).

Once again, Jonathan is Jackson's main character in playtime. Jonathan

absolutely loves it! I am convinced that Jackson is Jonathan's best motivator.

Jackson's soccer uniform.

Jackson doing a corner kick at his game. Frankly, the boy would rather run

around and slide into other kids.

Jackson and Jonathan pretending they are fighter pilots (the chair is their plane

and the laundry basket is the glass top that retracts. Jackson says they are in a

tie-fighter (spelling?) from Star Wars.

Jackson hates getting his hair washed. Wearing the mask solves the issue of

getting water in his eyes.

Jackson after his game.

Silly boy! He likes the snacks and the playset better than the game right now.:)

The team rallying together to say "Go-o-o-o-o, Lizards!"

Jackson before he gets gassed to have his ear tubes removed (if they don't fall out on their

own, they need to come out). Jackson has had his tubes for two and a half years.

Jonathan and Daddy as we wait for Jackson to be taken back.

We bought Jackson's Halloween costume early this year - he has been wearing it every

day since!

Jackson's class made their own cowboy/girl hats for Wild West Week - they even

cooked out hotdogs over a real fire for lunch!

Jackson's class goes to Baker's Farm together to get pumpkins.
