Yesterday, I woke up about 5:00am (still suffering a bit of jetlag!) and I thought about what time it was in Okinawa. It would have been around 8:00pm in Okinawa, and three years ago, at that time, our little baby son would have been resting in a little incubator in the NICU. Today, he rests for a 2-3 hour nap during the day, sleeps well through the night and runs around the rest of the day!! He keeps us on our toes but is the most friendly little boy and it makes me smile just to think of him and the cute little personality that he has developed. He has a heart of gold and seems to make instant friends with anyone of any age. To me, his smile is contagious...it makes me smile and laugh and thank God every day for the blessing that He gave us in Jackson.
Because we are in temporary lodging right now, a birthday celebration was small but fun. We spent the early morning opening presents and then headed to a fabulous park for two hours! He then chose to eat chocolate chip pancakes and chocolate milk for lunch at The Original Pancake House and joined us in house hunting in the afternoon, running around in vacant homes just having a blast, it seemed! We ended the day with a Birthday cake and ice cream back at the TLF.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR SWEET JACKSON!!
