Big Brother!!

Jackson became a big brother on Friday, March 4th at 8:26am. Ethan Michael came into the world, 7lbs 2oz and 19in. long! He is perfect!! Jackson took to his new role with panache and even leaned in to give little bro a kiss hello! So far Jackson has helped feed and burp Ethan and he loves to watch him swing. Our family is complete and we couldn't be happier. We are so blessed and we are enjoying all the wonderful things our two boys bring to our lives! (Can you tell I am still getting the preggo hormones out?) More to come as Jackson turns 2 on Friday!!

Firetruck!!

Well January was certainly eventful!! We visited a few parks to ride the slides, went to visit the manatees at Blue Springs, drove a firetruck, and after all that excitement, had to take a break to watch Sesame Street on the Monkey pillow from Uncle Jordan. Jackson's vocabulary is ever expanding and one of his favorite things to tell you when the lights are out is "It's gark in here" we are still working on the "d" sound! So hare to believe #2 will be here in 4 weeks, but we are very excited and so is Jackson! See you next month!!

Twas the Season!

WOW! Christmas was spectacular! It's a good thing Jackson has a little brother coming soon because he was S-P-O-I-L-E-D this year!! From Grandma Kathy, to Nana and Papa, to Uncle Zach, Aunt Amanda, Uncle JoJo and Aunt LooLoo, not to mention Santa, our house resembles FAO Schwatrz!! One of the best parts was getting to play with cousin Avery! She was very patient as Jackson made sure to pronounced everything she touched "MINE" and we had several lessons in sharing! From discussions with Uncle Zach about the future of McDaniels coaching career with the Broncos, to driving his new car excitement was everywhere! Mostly though, he loved the visit with family and the wonder and magic of Christmas. Now that 2011 is here, we are looking forward to welcoming the newest addition to our family and the great changes this New Year will bring!!

Thank you to everyone who made our holiday so special!!
