ICE!!!

I was expecting a rough trip to work this morning, but was surprised with only a few patches of ice!  Jackson and I have to cross at least 15 overpasses or bridges on our 30 min. ride to school each day.  I fish-tailed on three bridges, but made it to school in one piece.  When we left school today, Jackson found this still attached to my car.  I made him throw it outside, but he made me promise to find some when I got home.  So, like every mother of an only child, I froze my rear off finding a few.  We put them in the freezer for safe keeping!!  He made us keep his tiny snowman in the freezer last year.

BUCKLEY'S NEW SWEATER

I tried to find a sweater small enough for Buckley, but it was no where to be found. We decided to improvise and make him one out of a sock. I think it turned out pretty good!

We even made a detachable hood!

What a cutie!

BUCKLEY

This is Buckley. He only weighs 1 1/2 pounds. He is half Schnauzer, half Chihuahua. Here is the story of how he became part of our family.

Today after Jackson's first basketball game (they won and Jackson made a basket!), we went to Nana & Papa's house. We told Jackson that NayNay got him an early Christmas present.

When Jackson walked in the house he saw the box and said, "A puppy! Can I keep it for real and take it home?" Buckley even wrote Jackson a note telling him that he would be Jackson's new best friend and that Jackson would have to feed him, walk him and play with him. We will see how that goes!

Thanksgiving Past and Present

I thought it would be fun to take a stroll down memory lane!  It looks as if we missed a few years between 2003 and 2006.  I will chalk it up to the "sick years."  I'm sure someone in the family has the other years.  Enjoy!!

JACKSON & THE COCONUT

As you can see, Jackson wasn't too sure what to think about the "present" that Papa gave him. Of course he wanted to crack it open right away!
