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 town)

Jordan got to spend time with her grandparents while her dad and I worked and had fun. We stayed at the super trendy Palms hotel, ate amazing food and even got to see Cirque du Soleil’s Love show as a way to celebrate our tenth anniversary. Those who know us are probably wondering if what happened in Vegas came home with us like Jordan — I have high hopes that we’ll remain a two kid family.

The kids and the grandparents left us a sweet note on the door when we got in. I think they missed us.

I’m trying to get Jordan back into the swing of life with Mommy. She’s taken to screaming for what she wants. Unfortunately for her, I don’t do things for screams so she’s going to have to find her talking voice to get action from her mommy. It might take some time to work that out.

This morning we walked Cameron to school in the rain. I decided to put Jordan in the hiking backpack so we could use an umbrella together. At some point Jordan dropped her lamby on the sidewalk. So we hopped in the car and drove around to look for that precious pink thing. The entire drive Jordan was yelling: “Lamby! Lamby!” as if we were looking for a missing dog. It was so funny. Anyway, the wet little lump of pink was discovered on the sidewalk near the school. All is well — and a cleaner, drier version is waiting for her when I take her to school for the day. It’s bring a stuffed animal to school today – so she’ll get to bring her new love: A little white Webkin she has lovingly named “Puppy.” And no – we haven’t gone online to plan with her cyber Webkin. We aren’t like that yet in this household.

By the way – that’s a picture of Jordan playing with a bubble maker I bought recently. She loves it and I had to play outside with the kids before work yesterday.
