Fun fun fun
Jordan is starting to talk and talk and talk. So I have to write down a couple of funny things she’s saying. When turning on a light she says: “I open the light.”When turning off a light she says: “I close the light.” When Randy was leaving for work yesterday she asked: “You got your…

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…

I just got back from a whirlwind trip where I had a chance to meet with a bunch of companies in California. I had hoped to meet up with BethGo, but the schedule was packed. I barely slept. I did eat well (Cliff House, Brickhouse Cafe, Circolo) and I am feeling very inspired when it…
Read More +Family time!!
Jordan and the rest of the family just got back from spending time with Daddy’s side of the family. You can see the girl enjoyed playing with her Uncle. For someone who moved out of state, we sure have been lucky to see him so often. We also had a chance to spend with Jordan…

We got up crazy early this morning (even though Jordan seemed quite alright about it at the time – that picture shows her bright and cheery in the car around 6am) and headed out to Houston. The combination of morning traffic in St. Louis and a 20 minute layover in Dallas was enough stress for…

My poor baby girl. When we started out on this great trip. See that picture, that’s how our trip started out. Today’s trip home didn’t go as well. It was kind of sad. Her eye teeth have put her in a pretty sour mood. In our first flight she was okay until we had to…

Jordan didn’t sleep well last night… periodic crying, restlessness. It was so sad. When she woke up she was warm and unhappy. She just cuddled for 20 minutes with me before she was ready to eat breakfast. Darn teeth. What stuns me is how this is really the first time we’ve had trouble with teeth.…

Jordan and I have many trips in the next few weeks. Tuesday we’re heading off to spend time with my aunt and uncle. The big goal: Hand out lots and lots of hugs and smiles. After that, we’re home for a little more than a week before our next trip: Building a new version of…
Read More +Busy couple of months
Jordan is about to spend a lot of time in Texas. Next month she and I are going to the Dallas area to spend time with my aunt and uncle. I’m SUPER excited about that. And now it’s pretty clear that we need to plan a new trip to Houston for Jordan to upgrade her…
Read More +Back home
There’s nothing like the hug you can get from a child when you’ve been away. Jordan was so happy to see me when I got home. Her hugs are strong. Her smooches are sweet. The down side of returning is watching her cry as I dropped her off at school. It’s the first time she’s…
