first road trip home
We survived our first long road trip. Jackson was amazing but I have to admit Daddy and Mama had a great plan. As one of us drove the other would be in the back to entertain, feed, and help sooth Jackson. Note to other parents: bring lots of books!

Jackson loves to look at faces. He especially loves to look at his cousin Conner. We had a few older pics of Conner on our fridge so I decided to bring them along.
On our way to WI (Lake Geneva for a wedding) we stopped only once at a rest stop to stretch and crawl. We thought we might have to stop multiple times but found that one, extended stop (of about 20 mins) was sufficient. Who would have thunk?
Grandpa and grandma met up with us at Lake Geneva. Jackson had so much fun in the pool with grandma!
Daddy and Jackson at Ryan and Jen's wedding. Jackson loved so cute in his white oxford shirt and blue tie. I know I have better pics then this but it will have to do for now.

Jackson loves great grandma and grandpa Carnot. The rest of the week we journeyed north, home to Kaukauna. Not only did we get to see all the family for a whole week but we also helped celebrate great grandpa Paul's 80th birthday!
Jackson also really loves great grandma Joyce ... well, maybe a little too much. Jackson loves, loves, loves noses. He is consistently grabbing noses. We are trying to teach him gently as Jackson is getting stronger and stronger with each day. We still love this picture. We can still hear grandma saying "no, no ... let him pinch my nose!"
Although Jackson is curious, the best thing ever is the kindness and love that he gives as well.

At the Appleton Children's Museum with grandma! They had a blast.
"I think I might just rip this off the wall. Is that okay Grandpa?"
Yummy raspberries with the grandparents!
Keeping Jackson entertained while at Great Grandpa Pbut aul's birthday bash. It was a wonderful party. Jackson was wonderful. We had to get creative because Jackson wants to move everywhere but with all the people around it was kind of difficult.
Hanging out with cousin Jackie.
Jackson and grandma having some downtime at the end of the party. Just look at how much they love each other.
"Now this is a great spot!" and great ending to this really long post!
