I’m feeling nostalgic tonight, and while browsing through hundreds of photos I came across these beauties from March 18th, 2012 that I never shared with you. Two days before our world was rocked upside down again and again and again.

I remember this morning so clearly, almost like it was yesterday. Jack had slept in past 8am, and consequently Tyler and I got to as well. It was quite sunny and pleasantly warm outside. We were in no rush to dress for 1 o’clock church, and Jack and I stayed in our jammies til almost noon. We probably made waffles for breakfast.

After Jack took his morning nap, he woke up to the most frightening mop of messy hair we’d seen yet. He must have had what Tyler calls a “Jack Bauer dream” to get all those tangles. We laughed and laughed. Then to add to the kid’s crazy sense of humor, the baby clown walked around the rest of the morning protruding his jaw, so proud of his two bottom teeth.

We love you, little Jack. We are so blessed to have those delightful smiles of yours in our lives each and every day.
