Snow Play with a New Addition
My return home from a week-long work trip included a much snowier town than what I had left. Luckily, it stuck around long enough for me to enjoy some snow time with the kids. We live on a hill and when it’s super snowy, few people use our street. It is usually one of the…
Read More +VIDEO: Fun with snow
Our snow has melted… But before it did, Jordan spent as much time out in the cold stuff as possible. I actually had to bribe her with hot chocolate to come inside. I caught a few moments of her outside… she wanted to build a snowman, but we didn’t really have that much snow. But…

I’m pretty proud… After school Jordan went straight to the swing set in the backyard… She’s fallen in love with it again recently. While I was away in China, Jordan upgraded from a baby swing to a big girl swing. She’s figuring out how to pump her legs and swing all by herself. Of course,…
Read More +Incredible bravery… And more
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.…
