Well things have changed around here quite a bit! I'm not working anymore! June 5 was my last day as a probation officer. It was sad but I am very excited to be staying home with Jackson. Actually yesterday was the first full day that I have been home with him. Right after I quit I worked VBS at church (and had the songs stuck in my head for quite some time!) and then we went to Washington DC for a trip to see Nana and Lalo. Lauren joined us and we all had a blast. Jackson got to go downtown and not freeze this time. We even got to do some things that Lauren and I hadn't done before, which includes riding on the boat in the Potomac and getting ice cream treats from a vendor. Yes we've "arrived"! Here are the pics from the visit:

The man hits the big city!

"Now Jackson, if everyone picked one of these flowers, there wouldn't be any left!"

We are outside the original Smithsonian museum
We were in the Air and Space museum and dad says "Hey that's just like the plane I flew to America in!" So we had to take a picture with 2 generations later!

With lolo making him laugh

that treat i was talking about

Lolo entertaining him on the Metro - not an easy job!

Pulling the stop cord on the bus!

Jackson fell asleep as soon as we got on the boat. He's not being suffocated here, I promise!
Then he got up and started crawling!

Is this the way it goes?

A view from the Potomac that we've never seen before!

Swimming and trying to get it all on tape!

Just hanging out in the pool listening to TI!

Reading his favorite book that lolo and auggie bought him!
