I had all kinds of moments this weekend where I wanted to take pictures of Jordan and Cam… But Randy and I decided to actually move into our house almost 4 years since we moved here. We took apart the non-public side of our basement — where the laundry piles up and boxes have sat stagnant for years. There are many, many bags of trash in the garage, I have piles of books to donate and take to work. I discovered all kinds of items that belong to an office that we don’t have in this house.

But we actually have space in the back. We were motivated because of an offer for a free refrigerator. We needed to make room for it. And now there’s even room for the dogs to hang out when they need to hide.

In the meantime, the kids put up with their parents working. Yesterday included therapy for Jordan. She did a great job and I learned new ways to encourage her to try to walk. I tried it on my own today… It isn’t easy, but hopefully she’ll start catching onto the idea.

Before bedtime, I got both kids in the tub. It’s the funniest thing and I caught a moment on my cellphone:

If you can’t see it, go to here.

She did it… Jordan stood up on her own today! She stood up on the coffee table twice! Why? She was reaching for her daddy’s wallet and remotes… and she pushed up enough to stand! Then I started putting all kinds of things she wanted onto the table. She didn’t think I was very funny.

Jordan’s been a really good girl… She took a huge nap today to help make up for the lost sleep in the last few days. She’s been at work late the last two days. She is really enjoying the many students, reporters, producers and web folks. And she’s showed me that she really would enjoy producing a newscast. She loves hanging out in the producer pod area. She’s become the fastest one-handed typing producer in the world. Very fun.

We have snow again… And it appears to be the fun, packing snow. So I’m looking forward to a fun in the snow day with Cam and hopefully Jordan if she’s interested. I am finally getting our house back in order from months of disarray. We’re planning a Super Bowl party, so the house needs to get in control at some point. Today I made headway… So that makes me feel a little better. We actually have empty clothes baskets so we can fill them with more clean clothes!
