Jordan decided to give golf a try while her brother was playing in the backyard. She actually has a pretty good putting skill. Her poppy and I were pretty impressed with how she used her little arm to steady the golf club. We were really lucky to enjoy the Father’s Day weekend with Jordan’s dad [...]

Dozin’ with the Dinos

It was two nights ago… But I finally have time to tell you about our fun Friday night. The kids and I had such an awesome experience spending the night with the dinosaurs at the Field Museum. When we arrived I was a little nervous. Jordan was underage for the event, but I felt like [...]

Saying goodbye one more time
May 12th, 2010 · No Comments · 2010, Family
This past weekend my family traveled to Kansas to bury my aunt who bravely battled ovarian cancer for more than ten years. We celebrated her life with a great family gathering in a small town at a large Mexican restaurant. The kids didn’t get to attend my aunt’s memorial service, so I’m glad they could [...]

We had a busy weekend that started off getting up early to attend my Aunt Jan’s burial in a small eastern Kansas town. We snagged my mom and brother and brought them home for a few day. (My mom lives in Florida and my brother lives in Washington, DC) So we’ve had a chance to [...]
So Thankful

I’m heading out of the country for a vacation – but I wanted to take a moment to remember my Aunt Jan. She passed away this morning after battling ovarian cancer for more than ten years. Ten years? What an amazing woman. She fought and fought and beat it a few times. But there was [...]

Jordan celebrated the new year a little early… We counted down to midnight in Greenland so the kids could go to bed early. It was fun and complete with noise makers and hats. We hope you had a wonderful celebration and an even better 2010!!

Giving thanks!

We are enjoying another wonderful family-filled holiday and once again I think it’s worth mentioning how thankful I am for so many things. First I’m thankful for my kids. Cameron and Jordan are fantastic and challenging kids. They teach me so much about life, love and patience. They are incredible kids. I’m thankful for my [...]
So this is a three year old

I have commented a few times about how Jordan is showing true rebellious colors these days. But I haven’t really written it down. It’s exhausting. A portion of that strong rebellion allows her to push through challenges and do things that no one could have imagined. She won’t let me help her put toothpaste on [...]

We’ll miss you
March 22nd, 2009 · 2 Comments · 2009, Family
There have been so many things going on in Jordan’s world and I will try very hard to catch up… But first I just wanted to say good bye to Mama Dot. She passed away last week and was Jordan’s great-grandma. This is Jordan’s first loss and obviously she doesn’t quite understand. We explained our [...]
Weekend of family time

Jordan’s Poppy and Grandma visited the family this weekend… She absolutely loves grandparent attention. It means she can get away with more stuff and doesn’t always have to say please like when her Mom is always around. I had to work – and I started a new commitment to going to the gym. I even [...]
