What a weekend!
I probably have multiple posts to do about this weekend… But first, I need to present to you our medal winning runner from this weekend’s St. Louis Kids’ Fun Run. Jordan got to race in the 2-4 year old 50 yard dash race: Every kid won… And it was so great to see Jordan’s excitement…

Jordan is in a swimming class with her brother… And we’re at that point where we’re trying to get her to try to swim. You know, when you push her towards the wall and hope she doesn’t breathe in the water. She’s been really confident until recently. She wants to cling to me when I…

The kids are enjoying a wonderful Easter – full of hugs and smiles. It’s sweet how they dress up and happily pose together. For some reason, Easter is the holiday they happily smile and stand close to each other. Maybe it’s the pastel color of the clothing. Who knows. I do know that I have…

There’s something so remarkable about Spring. It’s a chance to just be who you are. The outdoors do that for all of us if you let it. What’s awesome about the outdoors and Jordan is she is attracted it to during all seasons. She’s happy to wander around in whatever the conditions. (Wet, snowy, windy)…

This week is Jordan’s brother’s week. His birthday is on April first… and every year you have to deal with a bit of jealousy that comes with the doting of a birthday kid. But this year was different. Jordan was honored to have a birthday brother. She signed and decorated a card and drew a…

I just downloaded this picture from earlier this month of Jordan at our local playground. She and her brother were biking around the neighborhood so Jordan had her helper bike hand on. So while we were running around the playground, I got the idea that Jordan should try to hang from these rings. Her hanging…

I have been away for the majority of the last month. It’s hard to spend so much time away… And at the same time, distance helps me look at my kids in a different light. Jordan’s growing up. I mean really growing. She’s really interested in letters. She can identify most upper and lower case…

The weather was sunny and warm-ish enough on the day Randy and I returned home from our vacation to watch the kids rude their bikes outside. Jordan had to wear the new tutu her grandma bought her while riding. She was having so much fun!

…And Aimee Mullins says wonderful things about her experience as a person born with a limb difference. I truly believe each person brings incredible things to the world… and a challenge just helps you learn about your abilities even earlier in life. Thanks to Barbara from TherExtras for sharing this link with me:

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…
