Here's Jackie

Over the last couple of months I have has some wonderful times with Jackie (and his mom and dad too of course.) He's a great little fellow and easy to be around. He is very observant and has a lot to say. Life with Jackie is fun and lively. He is yummy to hug too!

Where did the water go?

Trying to drink out of the sprinkler was challenging, the water kept getting in his nose. He kept at it until he was finally successful and then it was hard to convince him to stop.

This was his idea. All he needs now is a straw hat and a beer!

I can see you. Grrr...Don't I look scarey?

Checking out some leaves.

Helping Dee. Lucky Dee!

Jackie has a love of remotes (and old cell phones) that borders on obsession. He sleeps with them at nap time and at night and has them nearby most of the day. He generally calls them, 'g'motes.'

Mommy is drawing g'motes and Jackie knows exactly what he wants in each picture. Don't deviate a bit, Mommy!

Check out those curls!

His alligator tears. Don't you love the lip?

Having some good times with Uncle Wayne. My little Brother. He came to Oregon to take over so I could have some R&R in Canada.

And a cuddle with Shiya aka Katharien aka Kai. My baby sister, who also came to Oregon to spell Wayne and spend time with Marnie. Thad named her Shiya when he was a little fellow and the name has stuck.
