Jackson had another great birthday party this year, perhaps the best of the three so far. It's nice having enough space in the house to accommodate a large group. The weather was perfect, in the high 70's. The kids had a great time running around in the yard and riding the pony.

Jack and his pals at daycare got a special treat in honor of his birthday.

 Jackson got another pony ride when he went to his friend Jadyn's birthday party. They also had a petting zoo on hand to amuse the kids.

Jack likes to help out in the kitchen though he seldom wants to eat what he helps make. Given a choice, he'd survive happily on a diet of grapes, hot dogs, mac-n-cheese, sausage and goldfish crackers.
During all these years of watching Dean work on the website and go geocaching, Angela has always lamented not having a hobby of her own. Well, now she does and just in time too! Dean may post the bulk of our pictures and memories to the website in electronic form but that doesn't help with all the boxes and bags full of photos and memorabilia that are piling up. In our spare time, she's having creative fun while sorting and organizing everything we have into event themed albums we'll treasure for years. As I write this, Ang and several others she's met in the "scrapping community" are off on a weekend scrapping retreat on Fripp Island.

I decided to add a page for photos we take with our cell phones. They don't take the worlds best pictures but they're certainly handy for catching life's moments.
We've all done a lot of traveling the last month or so. Angela has been to classes and on business travel several times. She's been as close as Columbia, SC and and far away as Quantico, VA. Dean was gone for a week to Lake Norman, NC attending a Real Estate class and a seminar. Jackson got to go spend a week with his Grandparents and Aunt in St. Marys, GA.
We've done a lot of work in the yard lately. We put up lattice on the fence to keep the dogs in. We've cut down trees and bushes, cleaned out years worth of brush and bagged up untold quantities of leaves and pine straw. We've moved plants and trees to new locations and put some where there weren't any before. There's still tons to be done but isn't that how it always is?
