No pins -- no problem!!

We took Jackson to go bowling for the first time last night with the youth of our church. Justin brought Ellie along, so the two best friends had a ball rolling the six-pound ball down the lane, within the safety of the bumpers. Jackson didn't do half bad (I think his score was even better than some of the teens!!) What cracked me up is that it didn't matter one bit if he hit down all 10 pins or none at all -- his cheers were just as loud and he was just as excited. And, after every turn, Ellie and Jackson needed to joyfully hug to encourage each other on.

Here's a video of Jackson bowling, so you can catch some of the excitement. (view at www.mattcobb.com if seeing this post on Facebook)

Piano Sing-a-long

Last night, Jackson and Matt spent some time singing and playing the piano. Here's one of the songs:

Happy Birthday Dear Jesus

We had been preparing Jackson for Christmas morning for awhile. We told him we would get up, read the Christmas story, sing Happy Birthday to Jesus and then open gifts. So, the first thing Jackson did on Christmas morning, besides run downstairs and squeal in delight at the presents, was break out into song to celebrate Jesus.

Here's the video:

We had a wonderful (long) morning opening gifts and playing with each one before moving to the next. It took four hours to get through them all! Here's a few photos from the morning:

Duets

Tonight, Ellie came over to play with Jackson, and they decided it would be fun to record some songs together (or I thought it would be funny!) Both love the camera.

Here is my favorite recording from tonight of Deep and Wide:

Decorating Christmas and First Snow

Jackson was a big help for mommy as they set up and decorated the Christmas tree while I was working.

He was also pretty excited about the snow that started falling this evening.

Karaoke @ The Cobbs

Tonight, Jackson and I enjoyed making a few of our own music videos. Enjoy The Circle of Life, a dance sequence, Father "Mega"ham and I Love You Lord.

Anyone want a cat??

So, we're looking to find a great adoptive home for one of our cats. He's not adjusting well to the dog, and after 7 months, I don't see anything changing. So, if you would like to adopt an 8-year-old, medium-hair, good-natured (as long as you don't have a dog), neutered male cat, just let us know at info@mattcobb.com or jillkcobb@gmail.com.
