One year old attacks her older sister!



Daphne loves to give kisses to Lucie as much as Lucie loves to get them. By the way, did you notice anything different about Lucie's hair? Jackson cut her some VERY short bangs on Sunday. Lucie got a short hair style the next day.

Lucie's Graduation!



Lucie had her graduation from preschool today! She did such a good job singing and listening to her teachers. I LOVE the cap and gown!

Darth Jackson


So we bought a wii a couple of weeks ago and Adam rented the Lego Star Wars game. Jackson immediately loved watching and playing it. Maybe my plan to turn him into a boy through video games is working. He went from wanting to be Princess Leia to putting a pot on his head to look like Darth Vader in 2 days. I guess eveil is better than princess. Besides, what guy doesn't have a crush on Leia?
Lucie looks like Leia with her hair like that. She looks upset at Darth Jackson doesn't she? Maybe she wants to wear the pot.

Our little artist!

So for two day's now Jackson has been asking me if he can build his forest now. I had no idea what he was talking about so I kept saying "later" like the great mom I am. Finally, today he asked again and I said yes. I gave him the glue stick he asked for and kept cleaning, happy that he was entertaining himself. About 5 minutes later he came to me and said "Close your eyes Mom!" . When I opened them I could not believe what I saw. He had built his first diorama. I knew he had passed me by in many ways and definitely when it came to art, but even I didn't expect this. It took me about 5 minutes to figure out how he had even made it. I guess our boy with special needs is more special than we thought.

Walk for Autism 2008




Thanks to everyone who came to the Walk for Autism and showed support for our family! Jackson loved hearing his name being yelled and we walked past! He thought for sure he had to be a rock star!
