shannon is away this weekend with her college girlfriends, enjoying a well-deserved mini-vacation. that means that jack (and max the dog) and i are having a boys' weekend. she left yesterday afternoon, and so far so good. he's been really good and having a great time. he took my hat off earlier today and put it on his head, so i told him i would take a picture. he then proceeded to pose for said picture.
last night i was playing my guitar and singing and jack was playing with blocks and dinosaurs. but as i was singing my heart out, i began to hear some accompaniment on the keys. i looked over and jack had climbed up on the piano bench and began to play. i thought this was pretty cool, so i stopped playing so i could say something to him about it, but before i could speak i realized he was singing. so i listened. he was pounding away on those ivories, but his voice was as perfect as could be, as he sang out, "jeeee-sus, jeeeee-sus, jeeeee-sus."
it is these moments that so charge me with emotion as a parent; these moments that make me so overwhelmingly aware of my wild and uncharted love for my son.
needless to say i am enjoying boys' weekend so far.

Hey how about those names? You need to post a list so we can give our opinions, which you can then ignore! haha
I'm glad you two had a great weekend together.
I'm wondering when Jack started looking like a five year old. Seriously, he's so GROWN up looking!
I love the piano story. I'm sure you added it to your journal. That's one I wouldn't want to forget (or not scrapbook!)
okay, i'm joking. but they do grow up so fast...
