Today was Jackson’s first birthday. Wow…life has certainly changed a lot in a year!! Franz and I took a moment or two today to reflect on how far we have come, and it’s truly amazing to consider. People warned us, but I had no idea until I lived it.
In my father’s family we have this tradition for children on their first birthday. You cover their eyes and place a Bible (or Rosary), a dollar bill, and a shot glass in front of them on their tray or table; then uncover their eyes and see which one they choose. When I was one I chose the Rosary, and so did my brother Paul. My sister chose the dollar bill and my brother Todd chose the shot glass. I have been looking forward to doing this with Jackson, and quite curious to see which one he would choose.
Can you guess which one Jackson choose?
For those who guessed the shot glass…!!!
