Party animal

February 1st, 2010 · 2 Comments · 2010, Uncategorized

Sure Jordan is a little young to party all the time… but she did get a chance to go to two different birthday parties over the weekend. She had a blast… But in one of the parties I watched a little girl staring at Jordan and clearly wanted to reach out and touch her arm [...]

So big!

January 16th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Uncategorized

Jordan had her four year old check up — And she was a trooper. Three vaccinations and all kinds of fun showing off what a big girl she is (once she got over the shots). The result? She’s 30th percentile in weight and 65th percentile in height. I wish I could say that about myself!!

Busy times

September 10th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized

As I get back into a new semester in our newsroom, I’m not updating any of my blog often enough! Jordan is growing so dang fast, I really should document it more. Yesterday was an interesting one… Jordan apparently had a hard time at school. She didn’t want to listen. She’s more hard headed right [...]

Sleep?

May 25th, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized

I’m famous for not sleeping (I’m up too late at night right now)… But lately I’ve totally fallen off the strict bedtime bandwagon. Jordan used to need to go to sleep by 7pm… Now we’re lucky if she’s down by 9. She has a tendency to delay bed time 30 or 45 minutes. She has [...]

Talking about differences

April 26th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized

I follow a bunch of bloggers… And one mom, Heidi, who writes at God’s Grace in Practice brought up a wonderful thing. She talked about how she

Taking a leap

January 16th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized

I did it. I posted Jordan’s crib and dresser on Craigslist so we can officially sell it and move the girl into her new bedroom. It feels so official. We’re moving away from baby-land and I’m a little sad.

Special Exposure Wednesday

July 30th, 2008 · 5 Comments · Uncategorized

Jordan discovered her brother’s digital camera (don’t tell him) while she was in the newsroom yesterday. She ran all over the place taking pictures. It was SO classic. It took her about four or five pictures when she figured out the whole process. She actually took my picture while I took her picture.

All kinds of family and friend time

September 21st, 2007 · No Comments · Uncategorized

We’re enjoying our time with family and friends here in the Dallas area. Jordan is such a big, happy girl…. Even though we finally have more teeth arriving!! That’s right, her eye teeth are coming in. That will leave just the bottom four to take their time in arriving. So the teeth are keeping Jordan [...]

Wow. What a mess

August 18th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized

My sweet sandy girl Originally uploaded by NerdyMom Yeah. We played in the water this weekend. Jordan is still wary of our water sprinkler… But she got wet enough to let the sand REALY stick to her hair and skin. I fell on the ground laughing and then ran inside to find the camera. SO [...]

Reading on the road

July 29th, 2007 · No Comments · Uncategorized

We had a rough start to the day… Probably because we drove WAY too long yesterday. There's some kind of motorycle event north of Columbus so we drove further than expected for a hotel. But we got one, slept in and got breakfast. We probably have 8 more hours and many movies to watch. I'm [...]

Pennsylvania doesn’t end

July 28th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Uncategorized

We're trying tomake it all the way across Pennsylvania. It's taking a while but the kids are keeping busy. Jordan keeps putting herself to "bed" by covering herself up with her blanket saying "night night." Cam is high on PB&J and Twizlers. I let him buy a package during our last bathroom stop. Silly permissive [...]

On the road!

We've made it through a very strong rainstorm in Connecticut. We said our big goodbyes to my parents and the beautiful coast of Maine. Jordan already took one nap. We're talking Cam into taking one right now. Only six to eight more hours of driving to go for the day!

I had to take one more pic

July 17th, 2007 · No Comments · Uncategorized

We just said goodbye to my "Uncle" Steve… I don't think I've really spent time with him since I was on my way to college! It was great to share the kids, share some beers and just chat. I'm ready for the next adventure! Wish us luck.

Finally, a little video

June 16th, 2007 · No Comments · Uncategorized

I know. She’s been walking for 3 weeks and I haven’t captured the right moment on video. So while the kids and I were sweating it out at the local gardens near our house, I shot a little video of Jordan walking. It was WAY too hot to put her into her myoelectric arm for [...]
