Big Brother Class

Jackson went to a "Baby and Me" class today at the hospital so he could learn how to be a good big brother. He did great! Here he is learning how to swaddle...

and change a diaper...

I think he is going to be a wonderful big brother and very helpful!

Sterling Baby Shower

My company gave a baby shower for Kate today (which by the way is ONE month away from my due date)! Erik and Jackson came to visit for lunch, cake, and gifts. Jackson even got a "Big Brother" badge to wear!

4th of July Weekend

We had a great weekend! We went to Oxford, AL, on Saturday to Aunt Jessi's parents' house. We hung out there for the day with Aunt Jessi's family, Scott, Bronx, Mimi and Pop. Then Mimi and Pop came back to Atlanta with us. We grilled out on the 4th and then went to see the fireworks! Here are some pictures (starting with Sunday night and going backwards!)

Some of the fireworks were a little loud, but I loved them anyway!

Jackson and Grandma Rosie

As soon as Grandma Rosie walked in the door for Papa Ray's 90th birthday party, Jackson grabbed her and said, "Come play the piano with me." Grandma Rosie can play just about any song by ear. Jackson just stared at her and tried to play just like her! Even though he wanted to play Kid Rock at first, here they are singing "Jesus Loves Me" (we have a Zac Brown CD featuring Kid Rock on one of the songs Jackson likes).
