From There...To Here

From there:   

To here:

Our pastor recently talked about this in relation to our spiritual growth.  Whether it's from there to here or from here to there I pray that Chris and I will continue to grow up in our faith and pass that along to Jackson from an early age. My new "from here/there" thoughts came through this week when I picked up Jackson from school.  It was pouring down rain and the owner's son, Chad, was eagerly waiting with a golf umbrella to assist those of us not lucky enough to park under the carport.  It's little things like this that make me think of Jackson and how I pray that he will get from here (a playful tot) to there (a kind-hearted young man).  It's a lofty challenge as a parent, isn't it?!

Switching gears entirely, this month has been about Jackson's new seating opportunities.  He's been a real pro with all of his new endeavors.  New seats include the grocery cart seat, booster seat, tub seat, and his new car seat:

He's assuming the crawling position, but can't quite figure out what to do yet.  It's only a matter of time.  I'm sure month 8 will be full of mobility fun!
