Over already?
I can’t believe we wrapped up equestrian therapy a week ago for the year. The sessions have been incredibly awesome for Jordan this Fall and I hate to see it go. In the final session for the year, Jordan had a chance to earn a medal. And of course, she was very proud. I think…

I know this sounds cheesy… But Jordan wrapped up her little dance class for the school year and I’m feeling a little nostalgic about it all.

Jordan is brave. We’ve known that for a while… but HOLY COW did she prove it over the weekend. Her brother had a huge birthday party celebration at a local indoor playground. It’s a super large version of what my gym has… and the gym playground has clearly given her the bravery to do ANYTHING.…
