He Lights Up My Life!

Last night, my two boys and my camera went out into the yard to look at all the Christmas lights up close, and not just through the window. Phillip did an amazing job of capturing the pure joy and excitement on Jack's face and the sweet innocence of his curious nature.


You know, I realize that I am completely biased because I carried him inside of me, right under my heart, for nine full months - but I have to say that Jack is the happiest, sweetest, most joyful child I have ever known. He is not perfect. He gets upset from time to time. He throws tantrums occasionally. He even has the capability to annoy me - greatly - from time to time. But all in all, these photos reflect so accurately the happy-go-lucky, laid-back, exuberant nature with which my little boy faces each and every day. He has such a zest for life!

What a joy and honor it is to watch him shine - shine far brighter than all the Christmas lights we could ever possibly display in our yard!

I love you so much, Jackson Parrish Duncan. And I can't wait to keep learning from you every day how important it is to live in the moment. And to love every minute of it!
