Jackson at Work

A few years ago after buying some land to build our home, Bryan took me on a date at a little cafe on what would soon be our new Main Street.  We sat at the old fashioned soda fountain and shared milkshakes.  While there, we got to know the soda jerk, his mom, and his grandfather who owns the adorable restaurant.  We fell in love with them, their place, and the small town.  Since moving here, we’ve visited the little shop for lunch—or just their homemade desserts—many times.  Today, we went back, sat at the old fashioned soda fountain, and was served by our son!  It was the sweetest treat in every sense of the word!






He makes a mean milkshake!

Jack is Driving

Jackson got his driver’s license yesterday!

So today, he drove himself to work and church for the first time!

Watching him drive off, I had to remind myself to stop blinking.

Way to Go, Jackson!

Yesterday, Jackson passed his driving test with flying colors!


So that meant the “You Are Special Today” plate and banana pudding—one of his favorite desserts!  As always, we are so proud of him!

4th of July!

This 4th of July weekend was full of lots of time together, lots of great food, and lots of thanking God for this amazing country!

On Thursday night, Bryan and Jackson went to a concert at the park and stayed for the fireworks!

On Friday, we had our patriotic meal!


Bryan grilled up some amazing cheeseburgers!



On Saturday, we loaded up America’s dog and went to Bryan’s parents’ house for another delicious meal!  


We are so grateful to God for this country!
