Mission trip plus throw up =(

There has been a lot going on since our last post. I guess the main thing would be our Mission Trip to Mobile, Alabama with Emmanuel Baptist College Group. I'd LOVE for you to check out that trip in detail on that blog: www.EmmanuelCollegeRuston.blogspot.com. We had a great time and count it a wonderful opportunity to take Jackson on his 2nd mission trip in the last 4 months. He helped build a house with Habitat for Humanity, ministered to the Filipinos, hung out with the kids at the Alabama Baptist Homes for Children. It was GREAT to get to experience this together as a family again.

Most recently, Jackson got sick for the first time in 2.5 years of existence. It was this past Monday and he was in bed (the BIG bed). I (Jonathan) heard him stirring around and went in there. The stench was like strong Parmesan cheese. I turned on the light and witnessed the MOST throw-up I had ever seen compared to the stomach from which it came. I was so proud and disgusted all in one. We put him in the tub and had a few laughs about the ginormousness of his vomit while Erin cleaned things up. Erin, who, by the way is the most AMAZING wife and mother EVER, stayed up with Jackson all night and let me sleep to be fresh for work.

He eventually got better.

We are now in purge mode, which meant we took apart his crib/toddler bed, now that he is sleeping in a regular sized bed. We stored it away, which was sad for Erin.

For some strange reason, I'm a little disappointed that there are no photos to document Jackson's throw up. I'm not sure what this means up I am sure it's sad. really really sad :S
