You can kiss your family good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world, but a world lives in you.

Clownin' Around

The Jackson Clan spent a day at the circus this weekend. Bo got some free tickets from one of his students and we decided if I was still pregnant we would take the girls to the circus. And we are so glad we got to go. The girls had an absolute blast. It was a true 3-ring circus and there were acts going on all over the place. They had elephants that painted pictures, tigers, motorcycle stunts, trapeze artists, and plenty of other amazing things to watch. We filled up on plenty of junk foods...popcorn, cotton candy, cheeseburgers, french fries and snow cones. We left the circus exhausted, full, and sticky. But, most of all, we left with big smiles on our faces from the great time we all had.

In Pictures

Our good friend Darby is an up and coming photographer in our area and she happily obliged us in taking our pictures a few weekends ago. I just got the CD of the pictures and can now post them on this blog. They are such great pictures and I am so glad we did them. It's hard choosing which ones to put on the blog without having a super long set of pictures. For the complete slideshow of the pictures, visit her website at www.darbyrosephotography.com. Click on the slideshow link and scroll down to ours...The Jackson Five. Enjoy!!!

Our Baby Goes to School

Well...it's official!! Kelsey is signed up to start pre-school in the fall. It is so hard to believe our littlest girl is getting ready to start school. I think she is so excited, yet so reserved. We've been talking about how she is going to go to the school where we used to take Ally and that excites her. But, actually going there today was a different story. She was very shy and clung to my leg the entire time. She wouldn't even play with the toys in the room until I was done with the paperwork. Hopefully, the summer will give her a chance to get used to the idea of going to school and August will start with a smile on her face. 4 years old already...where in the world does the time go???
