Wow. Don't know if I've ever been more excited to wake up and realize it's spring break as I was this morning. After a few busy busy weeks in the Jaggers' household, this week is going to be full of family time (and of course the everyday tasks that I've been putting off the last few weeks). I did work for just a few hours this morning but then got to come home and spend the rest of the day with my favorite people in the world. The day was not filled with any major events, just lots of fun with my boys. We made a trip to Snip-Its to get Dax's hair cut. He got the infamous faux-hawk again and he is so proud of it. Denton was quite fascinated with the whole process. I think he was just relieved it was not him in the chair. His first hair cut was a few weeks ago and it definitely did not make his "Top 100 Favorite Things To Do in His First Year" list. From Snip Its, we ran to Target and picked out a little outfit for one of my former students that welcomed her new baby girl to the world today. Every time I shop for little girl clothes I realize how fortunate our budget is that we have not yet had a girl. We made our way home and spent a little over an hour playing outside. It was a BEAUTIFUL day. We are still trying to acclimate Denton to the grass but have had NO success. He HATES it - screams as though we are torturing him every time he touches it. We'll keep trying though. As I've heard about many other things... no worries - how many 16 year olds do you see who are afraid of the grass? We're hoping he'll grow out of it! : ) We had a fun family dinner at Chick fil a tonight and then ventured over to Hobby Lobby to look at invites for Denton's first birthday party. How is he about to be 1? I can hardly believe that on this exact day a year ago, we met little Jag and then Denton made his grand entrance only 10 days later. No luck with the invites so we'll keep looking tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, we have another fun day on the agenda including spending time with our friends Amber, Emily, and Audree. It's Denton's first St. Patrick's day so we gotta make it a memorable one. Tonight after laying both of the boys down, I had a few minutes of quiet to myself (Chad ran to the store to get me some candy). I just had to stop and give thanks for the incredible blessings in my life - the 3 most unbelievable being Chad, Dax and Denton. When everything else about this world seems so crazy and out of whack, they are the only 3 things that make perfect sense. Well, off to catch up on tv shows with Chad. I'll update again tomorrow and might even have some pictures from our adventures.
