Recently, Sophie has been taking guitar lessons. I guess in sense she is following her old man’s footsteps except that my guitars only had 4 or 5 strings. I am really glad that she is showing interest in music. It’s really cool how music can unite people. We decided to head upstairs and take a…

As you can probably can imagine, growing up with the last name of Jackle was not always easy especially in the fall when Halloween was approaching. If I had a dollar for every time someone called me Jackle-lantern, I would be a rich man. There were other names derived from Jackle too but we will…
Today, was the first day were both of our kids are on the regular school schedule. Last week, Savannah went in for one day for her kindergarten assessment. Last night, we found out her class assignment at the Hilburn open house. Today, they officially headed to school together hand-in-hand and happy. The Jackle Parent…
As you saw from my last post, my oldest daughter Sophie started the 4th grade yesterday. Today, our youngest daughter Savannah started Kindergarten. I understand why it is hard on the parents especially their mothers when their last child starts school for the first time. Apparently, Savannah did also. She told my wife Jackie “Don’t…
Sophie starts the 4th grade today. I came down from my office to find Sophie laying our bed as her mother was painting her toe nails. I just do not remember that happening with my sister when we were growing up. Sophie is all into fashion and clothes. Man, we are in trouble when she…
Friday was the last day that Katelyn was able to take care of our girls for this summer on a regular basis. She and Sophie particularly had a special bond. Sophie calls Katelyn her best friend. We decided to take a few pictures of them together so Sophie would have something to remind her of…
Man I am in trouble… Today, I wanted to have photo shoot with my girls but with a little twist for father’s day. Typically, I am the one behind the camera, but this time I wanted to be in the pictures. I asked Sophie to help me with some tests shots so I could have…
Well, we are back in the circle again. It was a beautiful day in Raleigh on Sunday following some pretty bad thunderstorms on Saturday night. We just had finished dinner and the sun was beginning to set. I asked Sophie if she wanted to take a few portraits in the circle. She could not get…
Yesterday, Savannah and I joined her Pleasant Grove Methodist Church Preschool class on a very tasting outing. The class went to Raleigh’s Andy’s Pizza to learn how pizza was made. Even though the field trip was scheduled for 9:30 AM, it is never too early for a slice of pizza. Pizza is in fact a…
This week’s weather has been amazing here in Raleigh- sunny days and 80s. Sophie put on the new outfit that her mother bought her that morning from a consignment sale that she just attended. We decided to do an impromptu mini-fashion show(one outfit) in the circle in front of our house. Here are a couple…
And the cradle will rock…… Yes! The cradle will rock. My girls are a chip off the old block with it comes to Rock n’ Roll music. Maybe someday they will turn these Paper Jamz guitars into real ones like I used to play. Hopefully, this answers the question what do the Jackles do when…
