May has been a very busy month. It has been especially interesting for Jackson. He started the month off with Grandparents Day at his school where they have the annual Art contest. Jackson missed most of the week at school but made it to spend the day with Yaya and see that he had won 1st place. We were shocked. Then the very next week he was awarded a very special award from his school. It is called the Blessed Virgin Mary Award, this award basically goes to the child who shows great character with his love for others, this was no surprise to me. I knew ahead of time and was trying not to go into labor so I could be there when it was presented to him. His religion teacher was praying that I would not go into labor so I told Yaya that I think her prayers were trumpeted and that I was not going to have a baby before Friday the 9th. I got to see Jackson get his award and then the next day another one of Jackson's prayers were answered, he had a new baby brother. Crazy time for us, but so wonderful to have a new little one to love. We finally took Jackson to the doctor and they told us he had Mono. He has probably had it for a while. So, May was a big month for Jackson. He has a new favorite game, Qwirkle, thanks to Mari. I loved seeing his great aunts playing with him. Jasper has had lots of visitors and pretty much acts like a newborn. Jensie is really enjoying being a big sister. She'll tell you that Jasper is her baby. She helps me out the best way she knows how. Take a look at photos from May.
