An Interview with our 7 week old Munchkin

I sat down with Jackson this afternoon to get his thoughts on life around our house the last several weeks.

So little man, what are your thoughts on our weather lately?...

Yes, I agree. I think that the snowing, sleeting, and 40 something degree temperatures are getting a little ridiculous for the end of May.

Despite the poor weather conditions how is everything else going in your opinion?...

You have loved meeting all sorts of new people? Oh good! I am glad that you have enjoyed all of our company as much as we have these past couple of weeks! Let me just tell everyone a little bit about who we have gotten to spend some time with...

Two weeks ago, one of my BFF's, Stephanie and her husband Brett, came to spend a few days with us. I was SO happy that she was able to travel with her MD's permission (she is going to have a baby at the end of July and some MD's don't like their patients to travel in the 3rd trimester) It was a short but sweet visit! We were able to go to a JJ Cole warehouse sale where Steph got stocked up with baby gear at clearance prices. We also actually had a nice sunny afternoon for a walk. Jackson got lots of quality bonding time Steph and she got a sneak peek at what she will be in for in a couple of months. We can't wait to meet her little bundle of joy!

This past week, my brother Matthew and his girlfriend Jana came to spend some time with our little family. We LOVED having them here!

One of the nights they were here my cousin Chris and his girlfriend Beth came to have dinner with us. They are living here in Logan for the summer working at a local theater. We had a great meal and great fun playing rockband!

The rest of the week, Matthew proved his skills as the "grill master" on several occasions and Jana proved that she was the "baby whisperer" when it came to helping Jackson fall asleep for his daytime naps. We got to spend lots of time hanging out and eating large amounts of sugar in the form of ice cream, cookies and doughnuts. The only thing that would have made their time here better is if the weather would have cooperated with us. The only sunny day was the day before and morning of their departure. We made sure to take full advantage of the sunshine on those days!

Between the rainstorms, we were able to take Matthew and Jana up to Bear Lake. Here is our little family after enjoying the famous raspberry shakes and curly fries from the Hometown Drive-Inn...Jackson could hardly contain his excitement!

We truely appreciate that these special people took time out of their busy schedules to come and visit us. We love having company and want to make sure that all of our friends and family know that if you come to see us you will have a cozy bed and a bathroom all to yourself! :)

On that note....Jackson, did you know that my one of my other BFFs Megan is coming to see us next week? I am so excited for you to meet her...what do you think about that?...

Too cute! He is starting to look like a little baby and not a newborn.

Very funny interview. He sounds like he is taking after you in the chatty department. Love it! You are a cute little family and you have slimmed down quite nicely I must say. We hopefully will be coming up soon. We figured since we are from here maybe we should let the out of town crowd die down first and come visit when you aren't already overwhelmed with visitors.
