When the parents are away, Jackson will play...

Jackson spent the week of October 17-24th with Grandpa and Grandma Boeglin while Mommy and Daddy vacationed on the sunny beaches of Cancun, Mexico. We planned this trip one year ago...when Jackson was still in my belly...and the reality of how hard it would be to leave our baby for a week didn't even cross our minds. But despite missing Jackson, we enjoyed a relaxing week away from reality and responsibility. Of course, Jackson was so busy with Grandpa and Grandma he didn't even realize we were gone. Here is a look at his week...

Jackson attended the Big Blue Block Party and opening night scrimmage for the Indiana State Sycamores. He loved watching his Aunt Melanie coaching on the court and listening to the pep band.


Jackson helped my Uncle John celebrate his 60th birthday at his home in Greencastle, Indiana. He played with Lilly (my cousin Jenny's daughter) who apparently thinks that Jackson is a "really fun baby to play with."

Deming Park in Terre Haute has a great new playground. Jackson loved swinging with his Aunt Melanie.

Apparently, a week with the grandparents means no rules and all fun. Jackson definitely came home with a few new tricks (i.e. bad habits). Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for teaching him to feed the dog, play with her food bowls and pull up on the dishwasher.

Grandpa and Grandma took Jackson to his first parade. Bundled up to keep out the cold, Jackson watched Indiana State University's homecoming parade.

Thanks for the great week Grandpa and Grandma!
