Mi Mama

FINALLY-!!! Jackson has said mama for almost 6 months or so but it never seem directed at anyone... Finally I am mi mama (or at least that's what it sounds like). It's so nice to finally be called something! He is currently running around and pestering the dog who can move at a seconds notice.

We are going to Michigan tommorrow to spend abut a week with my brother, sister in law and for a few days my mom and dad. We seem to have gotten flights at good times so hopefully everything goes well. I had packed but am going to repack tonight because although it is 40-50 degrees here, it is still quite warm there. Actually they were saying it might snow here today! YIKES!! It is cold and yucky looking outside so time will tell.

Grandma Berrilla has passed away

In addition to vacation and buying a new car, Ryan's grandmother had been admitted to the hospital. Ryan was supposed to travel there this weekend leaving tom night and coming home next Tuesday. The day I flew home to Alaska, Ryan flew to Oregon. He was able to visit with her that night and all day yesterday. She recognized him yesterday morning and they said their goodbyes. She passed away this morning and although I haven't seen Ryan in almost a month, I am glad he was able to be there with his family. She was 89 1/2 and was very active but had recently found out she had cancer.

The funeral is in Oregon next Tuesday 9/9 at 11am at Pleasant Hill baptist Church. Please be thinking of Ryan and our family at this time.

Back from vacation

It's been almost a month since the last post as Jackson and I have been in Oregon for 3 weeks. We traveled to the coast and Jack played on the beachand I went shopping at the outlets. We went to the zoo the day a baby elephant was born and jack loved all the animals!! We went to the circus which jack loved. He watched all of the elephants and tigers. He watched the clowns and motorcycles. We also made it to the carosel in Salem. He loved the horses and went on it twice. It was a great time and we did alot of shopping. I left with 1/2 a suitcase and came home with two!!
