First Day of First Grade

Can you believe my Bubs is in First Grade?!? Where has the time gone? Mr. Man is so ready to learn and grow. He is in a sweet little class and has the best teacher ever...his Mama! I am so blessed to have my own son in my class this year. It's going to be a great year!

Last Day of Kindergarten

Today was Noah's last day of kindergarten. He has had an amazing year. His teacher, Mrs. Wenger, was truly fantastic!

Bubs has grown, learned, and developed so much this year.

There was a sweet little celebration yesterday where the kindergarteners got to walk across stage, shake the principal's hand, receive their certificated, and perform a few songs.

I am so proud of how hard Mr. Man has worked this past year.

Can you believe how much Mr. Man has grown?!?

He's ready for First Grade...but first...he'd ready for SUMMER!!!

The Story

Our son, Noah Stone Jackson, was born with a very rare genetic disorder called Fraser syndrome. Among his many challenges are one “hidden eye”, a narrow trachea (which required him to have a tracheotomy), an imperforate anus (which required a colostomy), difficulty swallowing (which required a G-Tube for feedings), the fusing of his vocal chords (which means he may never speak), and club feet (which are being corrected with braces). Our family is on an amazing journey together. We are learning to walk along this path that God has planned for us, trusting in His infinite love and wisdom. We are taking each day (or each moment) as it comes and relying on each other, our friends and family, and our God for strength. We have a long road ahead of us filled with several more surgeries, lots of recovery, countless hours of therapy, and many trips to specialists around the state. Every day brings us challenges but they pale in comparison to the smiles and cuddles from our little man. Noah is our son, a true gift from God, and we cannot wait to see where this adventure leads.
