The Intro

Well, I've been inspired by my sisters-in-law, Jen and Lara, to start the Jackson family blog. Scott has been trying to work a family web page forever, but he just doesn't have the time to maintain it. So I'll give this a try and we'll see how is goes.

Zoey and I were talking about my parents.
Zoey: Grandma likes to give me lots of kisses.

The kids found a Christmas ornament that we bought before Zoey was born that had all our names, except hers.

Zoey: Where is me?
Mom: You weren't born, yet.
Zoey: But where is me?
Mom: You were still in Heaven.
Porter: Yeah, you were with Jesus.
Zoey: Oh! I LOVE Jesus!

Then her face just fell and she said, "but He died for us."
I guess even at four they listen!

Zoey watched the movie Beauty and the Beast for the first time today. During the moment that the beast turns into the prince, she slapped her hands over her mouth like she couldn't believe such a great thing could be happening. When the prince dramatically turns around to show his princely side, she got this really puzzled look on her face. Then said to me, "Him looks like a girl!"
