Summer - 2011

Another Summer is quickly coming to an end. With just two weeks left before school begins I can't help but think about how quickly the years are passing us by. But I have to say that we have had one of the best summers we have ever had. With John Michael now 4 years old, we have two big boys to do fun things with. Everything is easier... he is no longer a baby or a toddler but a big boy. This summer has been filled with new experiences for both Samuel and John Michael. Our summer days and weeks have been filled with countless hours of swimming, boating, canoeing & kayaking, tubing and knee-boarding, jumping off docks, boggie-boarding at the beach, fishing & crabbing, and a first Disney World trip for both of them. Many pictures to come later.

Enjoy the last lazy days of summer!

Happy Birthday John Michael

June 20th, 2007 - A special day for the Jennings family! After 6 years and 10 months of being an only child, God blessed us with John Michael and Samuel became a big brother. A few things about John Michael:

He keeps us laughing and on our toes!

He thinks he is 10 & can do anything his brother can do... & better!

You should see him dance! He has some moves!

He tells me daily - "Mommy, sign me up for singing lessons... please... sign me up"!

He loves to just play.. play with trucks, tractors, horses, boats, dinosaurs... & dirt

He is 110% boy!

Loves fruit but no veggies except corn on the cob. Loves his Milk!

His favorite food is Tacos.

Like his brother, he will not drink a carbonated drink. They are 'spicey'.

Loves to play with Play Doh & watch Donosaur Train in the 'new play room'.

He has the most contagious laugh!

Everybody loves John Michael! Even kids I don't know love him!

Despite his tough-boy personality, he has a very tender heart.

Loves his stuffed animals (Mr. Bear & Baby Puppy) & talks to them like they are his friends.

Loves 'hanging out' with his daddy and his brother!

Loves to go to the farm! Loves to read with us!

Loves to play soccer and t-ball & wants to learn to ride a horse.

Draw the line here... he wants it to be there!

Can write his name all. by. himself.

Independent? You have NO idea!

He can't wait to go to 'Big School'.

He can swim, tube, & jump off the 'big dock' & he is awesome & loves to tell everyone all about it!

Has. No. Fear.

What did we do before he came along? I have no idea & can't imagine our lives without him. He is such a blessing and we are so thankful for him. Happy 4th Birthday JM!
