It is with a heavy heart that I begin this blog. Our hearts grieve for the people of Newtown, Connecticut, whose lives are forever changed by the evil that occurred last week. May this holiday season give us cause to examine our hearts and minds that we may take action as a country to do everything we possibly can to stop the runaway violence in our country.
We had Jackson for the weekend and believe me, that child was held tighter than ever. His antics continually delight us and we are so grateful for that young man and his sister, Abby. Our weekend with Jackson was filled with movies from RedBox, going to see Wreck It Ralph, cuddles and flying the balsa wood airplane with Grandad, and trips to the playground.
Hooray for RedBox!
Early morning cuddles with Grandad and Bear!
Jackson loves whipped cream squirted into his mouth and topped with chocolate sauce.
Being the good Texan that he is, he calls it Whup cream, y'all.

Who loved this more, Grandad or Jackson?
The weekend went by so fast. Soon it was Sunday and we had to return Jackson to his parents.

Roger and I returned to a much quieter RV and relaxed after a hectic few days. Our week before Christmas was spent seeing family and friends in the Ft. Worth/Dallas area. We look forward to our move to Kerrville, Texas on the 27th. This time Abby will ride with us and spend the week with us before her parents and brother arrive to pick her up.
Roger joins me in wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas. Thank you for checking in with us.
