grandparents, political rally, and the packers

So its been almost 2 weeks since the Bouressa's came to visit Jackson. Frank meeting Jackson for the very first time. Grandpa Frank was mesmerized by Jackson - constantly saying "you know what?" "What's that Frank?" "Jackson's great!" When I went to pick them up at the airport both grandparents had on scarlet red sweatshirts (i.e. Ohio State red). It was very amusing but a little strange to see WI natives wearing OSU attire. We all had so much fun. Jackson experienced his first political rally. We went to the Obama rally in Columbus. Even though Tony and I voted early in OH we thought it would be fun to see and experience Obama in person. Even though Jackson and I were kind of far away from Obama it was well worth it -- history is in the making! Here is a picture of Jackson and I near the waterfront and the action.

The weather was fabulous the whole weekend, which was nice since Ohio's been kind of cold lately. Frank and Tony went to the OSU football game while Grandma Chris, Aunt Cathy, Jackson, and I went for a long walk in one of the many Columbus parks.


Grandma Chris also spent time helping Jackson with his homework (i.e. studying black and white photos and tummy time).

And finally, Grandma Chris's friend made Jackson a Packers quilt (of course!). He was a little fussy both times we tried to take pictures - I wonder what that means. Just joking, I'm sure Jackson will be a fan! Go Packers! But more importantly Go OBAMA!
