It’s refreshing to have a child who is happy to just go outside. Last night she spent 45 minutes or so playing out in the slightly muddy backyard. She spent time on the backyard treehouse and swings. She returned covered in extra dirt in her pretty pink dress… But I won’t complain. I appreciate a [...]

A lot of new

Jordan’s Grandma, Poppy and Daddy Jr. are here to help us build a new deck in the backyard!! It’s very exciting. Plus, the girl has shown a LOT of interest in riding a bike. Not just a tricycle, but a bike. And since she really has shown that interest, her grandparents pitched in and got [...]

Jordan is starting to talk and talk and talk. So I have to write down a couple of funny things she’s saying.
When turning on a light she says: “I open the light.”When turning off a light she says: “I close the light.”
When Randy was leaving for work yesterday she asked: “You got your bye-bye bag? [...]

Busy day

We started the day with an awesome hike. The four of us headed to the nearby state park and enjoyed my favorite two mile trip. Jordan had fun – especially at the end of the hike when she got to get out of the backpack and walk on her own. She was having so much [...]

Finally! A beautiful day!

It was warm today! It was so warm that we didn’t even need a jacket! It was so warm that I just want to write sentences with exclamation points!
No seriously, we went on a hike on a local trail and walked to a nifty playground near a little lake. You could feel a sigh of [...]

Day in the outdoors

Jordan made herself even more known at church today. She screamed her way right out of the service and into the nursery. It was ugly… And kind of funny at the same time. It was so loud that I was given some recognition as I returned to the service after dropping Jordan [...]

Jordan’s physical therapist worked with her today… And we’ve both come to the conclusion that we just can’t get much therapy done when I’m around. I’m the comfort zone. I’m not supposed to force her to do things she doesn’t want to do. So she’s going to look into getting permission from [...]

Another rash

A day “airing out” Jordan’s little arm didn’t really help get rid of her heat rash. So I put some cream on it before bed time and I hope it helps. I’ve been obsessively cleaning the prosthetic, so I know that’s not the reason behind her rash this time around.
The day ended with [...]

Scooting through the chalk art Originally uploaded by Jen.
We are slowly getting outside again as the ice and snow melts and the sun is out longer. Jordan came out to enjoy the cold pavement and chalk with her brother and I. She didn’t do [...]
