Grandpa and Grandma Hoggan: January 2011
http://over50familymembers.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Grandpa and Grandma Hoggan. Saturday, January 22, 2011. Getting Settled in Dresden. Here we are in romantic Dresden and just loving it! Dresden is a beautiful old city with a lot of history. We are told that much of it was leveled during WWII. However, we still see many beautiful old buildings that are still around and in use. We live in one of those. We live in the basement of this older home. The Elders have been super helpful as well. Through it. He uses the book and I use my heart. It works! We've in...

The Jackson Family: May 2009
http://nateandamyjackson.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 31, 2009. Remembering our family veterans. Grampee's headstone. We were able to see many other family members at the cemetery as well including Gramee, Jeff and Shirley, and Brad and Andrea. The weather was just absolutely perfect, which apparently is very rare for Memorial day in Washington. Me trying to get Casey to walk. He still prefers to crawl though. We also stopped by Grandpa Jackson's grave and saw that other family had already visited. They left flowers and a balloon. Across the str...

The Jackson Family: October 2009
http://nateandamyjackson.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 29, 2009. Emma is three months old today! She loves to make noises and tell us her baby joys and woes. It's so fun and cute to hear her! I also took some pictures of her in a couple of my favorite outfits. I couldn't really get her to smile big because she's been kind of grumpy today. Changing her and doing a photo shoot wasn't in her plans for the day apparently.lol. I got a few cute pictures, though, so it wasn't all a lost cause. :). We love our cute little Emma! As for our house, it...

The Jackson Family: March 2011
http://nateandamyjackson.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 31, 2011. Parenting is to Parenting Books as Reality is to Dreamland. Something about not forcing them to do things. BIG check for me. Then I read some more about not using threats or bribes. Uh-oh, check two! So many times I've said, “If you don't do this, you'll go to your room (or get a spanking)! 8221; or “If you do this, Mommy will give you a chocolate (or a snack)! 8221; Oh boy.having gotten mostly through the chapter I think to myself, “Do I really want to read this? Maybe I jumped...

The Jackson Family: April 2010
http://nateandamyjackson.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 16, 2010. Need I say more? Grandma and Grandpa's Visit. It was so fun to have Grandma and Grandpa Hoggan here! Emma really loved the extra attention and Nate and I loved having a couple of live-in babysitters for a while. It really was nice that they were able to make the trip up here and spend that time with us. We definitely enjoyed it! The park turned out to be freezing, so our picnic at the park idea didn't work so well. My mom and I ended up walking along the beach front while my d...

The Jackson Family: Carter Joins Our Family
http://nateandamyjackson.blogspot.com/2011/02/carter-joins-our-family.html
Sunday, February 6, 2011. Carter Joins Our Family. Well I happened to come across this poor, neglected blog and found it hasn't been updated for some time now. I almost forgot we had a blog! I was amazed how easy it was - last time with Emma was a nightmare that I look back fondly on (pretty weird I know). I was even more amazed that the doctor was almost right on with his prediction - Carter was born at 9:09 pm. The doctor let me cut the cord, which I find a symbolic gesture and pretty neat. We've had a...

The Jackson Family: A Morning to Remember
http://nateandamyjackson.blogspot.com/2011/06/morning-to-remember.html
Friday, June 10, 2011. A Morning to Remember. Ever have one of those days when you say to yourself, "Really? Happening to me, today. Of all days, right now. Well we had one of those days today. Actually, looking back on it, it's quite funny to tell the truth. Everybody has to pee in the middle of the night sometimes! But you see I had just gone to the bathroom before having the feeling again. I didn't think too much of it except that it was a little weird. And finally the next train came. We get in a...

Grandpa and Grandma Hoggan: West Virginia Christmas
http://over50familymembers.blogspot.com/2015/01/west-virginia-christmas.html
Grandpa and Grandma Hoggan. Thursday, January 8, 2015. December was jam packed! It was so much fun. One of the great things about the season was the "He is the Gift" initiative! It was a remarkable experience and it really strengthened our testimonies of God's love for everyone and that He is mindful of them. We also went to Belfry, KY to participate in a Spanish Club auction to raise money. It was put on by one of our YSA's whose girlfriend painted the Feliz Navidad picture on our wall. We made fudge an...

The Jackson Family: September 2009
http://nateandamyjackson.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 29, 2009. 2 Months Old and Oh So Cute! Emma is 2 months old today and as cute as ever! I can't believe how much she has changed in just a month. Babies grow so fast! Just to show the change, here are a few pictures of her at about a month old, courtesy of my wonderful friend Jocelyn. Now here she is at 2 months:. She also got her 3 vaccination shots today and has been a little fussy because of the tenderness in the shot areas. Poor baby! It's so sad to see her in pain! So now, it appea...
