Candid shots of the last few months

Let's add some more photos of you.  You change daily it seems.  I am amazed at how different you look to me when I have gone 4-5 days without seeing you.  Do you have any idea, little girl, how much we love you?

 The first one is you in your new pool.  Aunt Bug brought it to us one weekend when she was here.

And of course, you found some old curlers in my bathroom and wanted to try out your hairdo.

 Here's the backside of it - you didn't leave them in long, you said they hurt.

 This is a picture you made in church one Sunday for Mommy.  She had a migraine headache and you wanted to do something to help her feel better.

 Fun with the Garden Hose - you love the water.

 Here you are in a rare moment - sleeping.  Tuckered out from all the play.  I love you, Jasey!

 You are under there somewhere,  I see your hair and your bottom.  If your bottom shows, you will say "Bottoms Out"....a playschool comment.

 In this photo you are making mommy her Mother's Day Card.  You put a lot of energy into it.

 This is the Mother's Day Program at First United Methodist Church pre-school.  You like to go there.

 On the kitchen counter - Paw Paw is vacuuming and you hate the vacuum cleaner.  You are scared of it.  Probably the ONLY thing that you are scared of.

 You are trying on dance shoes and a dance outfit.  You can't wait to begin classes in the Fall.

 Packed your suitcase and ready to go...

 Baw Paw's jeep is tempting you.  Looks like a nice place to rest.

 Aunt Wendy and you at the Easter Egg Hunt at Graham Friends Church 2012.

 Your "Big Comfy Couch" outfit.  Dance, dance, dance.

 Baw Paw made you a fenced in backyard at your house on Banks Street.  He loves you Jasey.  You are the little girl he never had.

 Working on your fence.

You climbed up into the tailgate of Baw Paw's jeep!

Wonderful Times With Jasey

I could write here daily about all the blessings that Jasey brings to my life.  It's awesome to be 60 and get the chance to interact with a toddler again - grow with them, have fun, teach, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.  My days are probably more stressful than they have ever been, but somehow the priority of  Jasey and her time rules anything else.  Everything else doesn't matter and for the first time ever, I GET THAT!  We baked cookies for Christmas with Baw Paw Mark and had so much fun.  Flour all over that pretty black dress, icing over the mouth, things were just fun as I watched her intently pushing on the cookie cutters and then squatting in front of the stove to check on the status of her work.  2010 has been a year filled with memories that will last my lifetime.  Thanks be to God for his many blessings in my life.

Oh Dear, I have not written in quite a while and so much has happened.  Jasey, it is mid June, so you are now 3 years and 3 months old.  You are a joy to be around.  God has blessed my life so much by having you in it.  We spend about one day each week together and usually one night.  I hope that will increase in the Fall when I plan to begin drawing my Social Security in addition to my State Retirement.  You will be in playschool 3 days a week this coming year and you are going to take dance one night.  You love the Barbie movies that we have - you love to sing and dance.  You are quite the strong willed little girl.  That is a good thing in this world today.  Jason has begun to get you some each week.  I pray that he will step forward and be a positive influence in your life.  Here are some recent photos of you.    These pictures were all made at the Burlington City Park.  Some by a professional photographer.  Funny, that's what your Paw Paw is, but it's like they always say - when it's something you do for a living, you never do it for your family.  Anyway, the lady made some good shots of you.  The other two are on a recent visit that you and I made to the Park to play while Mommy worked at the YMCA.  We have so much fun together.
