Halterman Happenings: Jackson is here!

Jackson is here!

kids finally have a cousin on the Halterman side! Jackson made his debut on the 24th(?) of Jan.--a little early, but since he was 7lbs. 11oz. already, that was probably a good thing. We are so glad he got here safe and sound!

These are the pics of the night Barry and I got to meet him. Tessa looked enormous next to him, already! The bigger two kids have yet to meet their cousin (RSV season, and all). For some really cute pics of Jackson, check out Yellow Pear Photography, where he just had his pictures done today!

And here we our with our babies...me with Tessa, Mikelle with Jackson, and Kristin with Spiderman!

Meet the Haltermans

2011 finds us as a family of six and as busy and crazy as ever. Barry continues working at Clear Creek Associates, which we consider to be a tremendous blessing, given the current state of the economy. Barry is serving in the Stake Young Men's Presidency, and I am in the ward Primary Presidency at church. Besides being busy with a new baby and his brother and sisters, I am teaching Let's Play Music Classes, and blogging about my creative endeavors at meandmyinsanity.blogspot.com. Kira (9) is enjoying drama club this year. She has read more books thank I probably have in my life. She's learning the keyboard quickly in music class. She was asked to give a speech at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new building at her school. Trenton (6) is adjusting to 1st grade and homework. He has suddenly become an excellent reader. He has a gift for music, but not a gift for following directions. *sigh* He still plans on being a scientist and is full of all the imagination and energy that a 6 year old can have. Tessa (3) has recently taken up hairstyling. She is responsible for the short hair do she is sporting now. She loves preschool, dance class, and attending music class (even though she isn't old enough). She's a little computer addict and will play Dora all day, if we let her. She's quite the artist on paper and on walls. She likes to write "T's" for Tessa on everything. She is a sweet big sister to Alec. Alec (8 mos.) is a mover and a shaker! He is exhibiting the same determination as his siblings in learning to get around. He is really a delightful baby! My only complaint is that sleeping is at the bottom of his priority list. He loves people and makes friends wherever we go.
