Back to Routine!
-Alicia Jackman

We had a wonderful Summer this year. It was fun to do so many things even with Bob still going to the U to finish up classes.

The kids enjoyed Lagoon, Ragging Waters, and many days out in the back yard pool. This year we took our first family vacation and went to California to visit our Uncle Bob and Sharron. It was so fun to go to their lovely home right next to the coast and enjoy listening to all of Sharron's Marine Wildlife rescues. We were also able to take almost a week in Nice, CA in a condo with Grandma Deana & Grandpa Bill. Damon met a new friend Miles that he would play with at the pool everyday and maybe pen pals/email buddies now!

This summer was just nice and relaxing... what more can we say! It's nice to get back into life with routine so we can look forward to next summer!

Starting Preschool!
-Damon Jackman

I am growing up so much and Mom and Dad think I'm pretty neat! I started Preschool with Miss Melanie not too far from our home and I LOVE it! I just had my first day of class and we talked about the rules of school and we got to learn a little about each other. There are 9 boys and 2 girls in my class and two of them I know from church. I am the oldest in the Preschool 3 year old class since my birthday is coming up and I'll be 4, but that just means I can be a good example for the other kids.

My birthday party is going to be baseball themed, even though I really want a Darth-vader party. I'm very excited for Halloween with all the scary costumes and CANDY!!

Potty... Hum..
-Kylie Jackman

Well I've been interested in the potty lately since Damon does it all the time, but I've only gone once but I was very excited! Damon is now going to preschool and I really missed him while he was gone, I kept asking Mom where he was.

My cousin Braxton is coming to play again every other day and he's one of my best friends. I love books and going to the library to pick new ones out. I still think everything is mine, and I've been told in Nursery that even though I'm one of the smallest, I can hold my own!! Watch out!
