Easter fun

There are all kinds of exciting things that come with an Easter celebration… and for the five year old Miss Jordan it wasn’t the candy or the egg hunt. It was her beautiful outfit. Jordan was so excited to dress up for the holiday. I bought her a new pair of shiny white shoes that…

That’s what Jordan asked as we drove to t-ball practice last night. She was admiring her pink catcher’s mitt that I bought a couple of years ago to let her join in on the fun while her brother played ball. I let her know all she had to do was take her mitt off and…

Snow day fun

It snowed last night and that means two very happy kids in our household. I woke up with a little girl begging to get her boots on and head out into the snow. So that’s just what both kids did. Jordan and her brother jumped in and ran around in the cold snow and didn’t…

Holiday spirit in full force

After a great Thanksgiving weekend, the kids got to end it with tree decorating. They both took the job very seriously. We don’t have a theme-tree beyond “memories.” The tree is full of ornaments from our many adventures and the kids’ art work. There are also old and new pictures that made Jordan squeal to…
