Hello! As you can see from the pictures we had a great Memorial Day weekend. The weather was gorgeous, probably the best we've had yet this year and it allowed us to grill out each night while we were in town. We were able to spend lots of time with family. Each day we went somewhere new and each night we had to fight to keep Jackson awake until we were able to get back and get him into his jammies. He really enjoyed playing with everyone and all the animals. He played with Leah on Sat (thanks Leah) while we grilled out at my aunt and uncle's. He had so much fun with her he wouldn't let her out of his sight. He also enjoyed her bunny, horses, chickens and baby kittens. Sun Marcia and I took him to the park to play and we saw 30 baby ducks, they were so cute! Then that evening he got to play w/Daisy, Jeff and Susan's dog, while we grilled out at their house. Mon he played with his cousins Cam and Austin. They all chased the chickens and baby pheasants and Jake, a goofy hound dog, at my parents house. Between the chasing, jumping on the trampoline and just being outside I think he had a great time and it was a nice way to end a perfect weekend.

We drove back home on Tues and then had our final walk thru Wed morning. Everything went well and we closed this morning, YEA!!! The previous owners won't be out until the 8th and after that we'd like to change out the carpet and maybe do a little painting. Then we get to move in and finally unpack, I can't wait!! We'll post pictures once we get some.

Zoo Pics

The past couple of weeks have been a little tiresome. We were suppose to meet Brandon's dad & Patty in Detroit for Mother's day weekend but had to cancel because Jackson wasn't feeling well. Turns out he had a sinus infection. They prescribed some meds but they weren't quite strong enough and we had to go back in this past weekend and get something a little stronger. He seems to be doing much better and is finally starting to sleep more, YEA! We are planning to go to MI for the holiday weekend so we've been taking it very easy this week. I went out and rented 6 Thomas movies, which we watch over and over and he still doesn't tire of them. Last week we had a couple of really nice days and we packed a picnic and spent the afternoon at the zoo. These are a few of the pictures from then.

Checking out the bridge

He liked the Tiger so close.

When the goats got a little pushy he told them "Easy Fellas".

I don't know where he comes up with it sometimes. :)

He liked to feed the goats.

Elephants
Baby goose

This was after oinking at the pigs.

His favorite, the train!

We are planning to go to MI for Memorial Day weekend and we close on our house May 30th. For those who haven't heard yet, we bought a house a little north of here in Jackson, WI. Our house is just off of Jackson Dr, down the street from Jackson elementary and across from Jackson Park. We'll never have to worry about Jackson forgetting where he lives. :) We'll have most of June to move in so we'll be able to paint and won't be rushed. As soon as we can we'll take and post some pictures of it. We can't wait to finally unpack!
