Jordan likes to be in charge… That’s been obvious for a while. But when you spend 24-7 with my girl, it becomes more clear how dominant she wants to be. And to be honest, most of the time I enjoy it. During our yearly trip to Maine, Jordan’s been climbing the rocks like she owns [...]

Summer time
May 26th, 2010 · No Comments · 2010, Travel
I’m already overwhelmed about what we’re headed into this summer. My calendar is full of juggling travel, summer camps, baseball games, dance classes and work meetings. I keep looking at it and thinking about everything we have to do… I’m excited and looking forward to our adventures but I’m also trying to figure out how [...]

Mommy, come home. Right. Now.

I’m out of town – attending a super nerdy conference in Washington, DC called DrupalCon. And while I’m here… Jordan is at home with her dad and brother. And she doesn’t like it one bit. I swear the majority of our conversations on the phone are like this: Me: Hi Boo! How are you? J: [...]
Happy 3rd Birthday Jordan!
January 2nd, 2009 · No Comments · Birthday08, Party, Travel, january09, jordan
The birthday celebrating didn’t end when we left Disney World (which by the way – left a balloon and a card signed by all of the major Disney characters in our hotel room the night before we left). We drove 10 hours to Knoxville to visit my bestest friend in the whole wide world who [...]

Holiday preview

We made it to Florida! We also had a chance to celebrate an early Christmas with Jordan and Cameron’s Poppy and Grandma (aka my in-laws)! They had a ball opening gifts. We also got to drive long distances with the kids in the van — for the first time we had them sitting in different [...]

Before I run off….

I’m in a hotel just hours away from when I need to hop on a plane towards Shanghai for work. It’s very exciting. I doubt I’ll be able to get access to this blog from blogger.com since China blocks many popular American web tools. But I might try to email updates. We’ll see what happens. [...]

Last hotel
June 29th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Travel, Vacation08, jordan
We made it to our final hotel before we start our camping trip for five days. We snagged a nice room in northern Vermont before we cross the border over to New Hampshire. It’s very exciting. I will probably be completely offline until after we arrive in Maine. I promised Cam that I would not [...]

Jordan woke up last this morning. She took forever falling asleep. It was challenging sleeping next to her. Actually is was so challenging that I ended up sleeping at the bottom of the bed so she wouldn’t kick me in the head. Anyway, she was still sleeping this morning when Randy and I sat there [...]

Our special trip

I just love spending time with my Aunt and it was so great to take Jordan back to Dallas to see her last weekend. I happen to be out of town AGAIN – this time I’m on my own to attend a journalism forum. But I just wanted to tell everyone a little more about [...]

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 [...]

Long delay!

After a relatively long business trip, I’m home again with the kids. I hate being away for so long, but I did a lot of good stuff for my students and I got to see a ton of cool technology and ideas. (I was at the RTNDA/NAB conference in Las Vegas – such a silly [...]

Whirlwind trip

I just got back from a whirlwind trip where I had a chance to meet with a bunch of companies in California. I had hoped to meet up with BethGo, but the schedule was packed. I barely slept. I did eat well (Cliff House, Brickhouse Cafe, Circolo) and I am feeling very inspired when it [...]

Family time!!

Jordan and the rest of the family just got back from spending time with Daddy’s side of the family. You can see the girl enjoyed playing with her Uncle. For someone who moved out of state, we sure have been lucky to see him so often. We also had a chance to spend with Jordan [...]

Day 1: Getting Started on a New Prosthetic
October 2nd, 2007 · 3 Comments · 2007, Houston07, October07, Prosthetic, Travel, jordan, motionbox
We got up crazy early this morning (even though Jordan seemed quite alright about it at the time – that picture shows her bright and cheery in the car around 6am) and headed out to Houston. The combination of morning traffic in St. Louis and a 20 minute layover in Dallas was enough stress for [...]

What happened to my peaceful traveler?
September 23rd, 2007 · No Comments · 2007, Air Travel, September07, Teeth, Teething, Travel, iPhone, jordan
My poor baby girl. When we started out on this great trip. See that picture, that’s how our trip started out. Today’s trip home didn’t go as well. It was kind of sad. Her eye teeth have put her in a pretty sour mood. In our first flight she was okay until we had to [...]
