Home again… Lots to do
I got back from China and went straight to work with Jordan! I met up with her occupational therapist to finally show her how Jordan’s new prosthetic works. It was incredible to watch how Jordan took to naturally using the “hand” after we convinced her to work on it. (She was a little stubborn since…
Read More +Strong opinions. WOW. They're strong.
We’ve been out to eat a little more than usual. With all of our traveling, Jordan has figured out the process it takes to eat food at a restaurant. Lately, she takes charge when the waitress asks us for an order. My in-laws were in town to spend time with the girl and take the…
Read More +A happy Easter
Jordan enjoyed her third Easter… And she was able to participate in it more than ever before. She put up with my attempts to pose the kids for Easter in their pretty outfits. She put up with my need to put them through an egg hunt. She enjoyed eating a bunch of sugar — Although…

We’ve continued this non-stop vacation with non-stop trips. After visiting the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens yesterday, we took the kids to eat at one of the best diners in the country: Moody’s Diner. We got their famous 4-berry pie. We even bought a slice for Jordan She’ll eat it ONLY if disguised in vanilla ice…
Read More +Not bad at this travel thing
Jordan is taking her second nap of the day in a very long multi-state drive. She's come across two challenges: not getting every toy she wants and not being able to pick up things she dropped to her left. Gross moment of the day: I gave her a chocolate chip granola bar. I look over…

I watched an amazing thing happen yesterday. My daughter gorged on popcorn. She’s didn’t just eat a lot… She ate so much that I had to leave the movie to refill the popcorn tub. We took the family to see Ratatouille. It’s a really sweet movie… But I don’t really think it’s the kind of…
Read More +Ahhhh. The weekend.
Thank goodness it’s the weekend! It’s been a long one for some reason. Miss Jordan’s grandparents are here to spend some time with us. Thank goodness they were here — I needed to get Jordan into the doctor since her gross and unexplainable diaper issues continue to wreak havoc on her bottom and clothing. I…
Read More +Weekend dancing
I was sitting at the dinner table with the kids on Sunday. We were listening to music off of my computer when this ROCKING song from the Bottle Rockets came on. Cam started dancing in his seat and not eating. So I told him that if he ate a couple of bites, I would stop…
Read More +Wow. Things change fast
I got stuck at work late today because we finally launched the new and improved KOMU.com! (hooray!) So my in-laws got to be there with Jordan when our PT worked with her. Miss Jordan “walked” for an entire 30 minutes. Up and down the driveway, along the little walkway. She just wanted to go, go,…
Read More +Classic weekend
Although daddy wasn’t around this weekend, I have to say we had a really good time. It was one of those weekends where I focused so deeply on the kids, that I didn’t even think of finding the camera. I pulled out the camera phone a couple of times. We were outside or doing something…
