Sibling… Love?
Jordan and her brother Cameron are going through a phase… And I realize it’s a phase that will last through the majority of their childhood. It’s a combination of total love and complete and utter rivalry and unexplained anger. The two of them will have a sweet moment like this picture I captured last week…
Read More +Who is this child?
Seriously. Who is this girl? She looks SOOO much older than a child who is a month and a half away from her fourth birthday. I snagged her cheerleader outfit to throw on after her dance class so we could run off to the tailgates and the football game. It turns out she barely fits…
Read More +A simple tracing…
A simple tracing looks so darn cool when it’s Jordan. This is Jordan with a pony tail… Her teacher traced her and Jordan added the brown decorations. I dig the spiky hair:
Read More +Boo!
Jordan had a very busy and fun weekend for Halloween – along with being Abby Cadabby at her school and neighborhood parties, she got to be a lion during equestrian therapy. I think she looked adorable in both outfits… But she was VERY upset in the lion outfit. She told me she wasn’t pretty enough.…
Read More +Just when we were having fun
This past week was FILLED with excitement. A lot of it hovered around homecoming on campus. I tend to get all worked up and excited to see former students and invite some to stay with us. That gave Jordan a ton of opportunities to meet new friends. It also gave us a chance to hang…

It’s Fall! It’s been an ugly Fall… All kinds of cold weather and a lot of rain. But it’s also any other Fall where the trees are changing colors and I can’t handle missing a chance to take pictures of the kids! We’ve had a few days recently where the weather has improved while those…
Read More +Hyped up…
Jordan’s new thing to say when she sees me at the end of her school day is: “Where are we going next?” We’re so schedule-packed that when we don’t go anywhere she’s disappointed. I’m trying so hard to try and calm our lives down. Last week I canceled trips to the gym so the kids…
Read More +Dance class success
Using Jordan’s helper arm at dance was a huge success… You can see in this blurry picture that she’s still reaching a bit to touch “hands” but her balance was so much better when she wore “bouncy hand” to her class. She also had no problem walking across the balance beam with it one. Last…
Read More +A dancing challenge
Jordan loves to dance – and this year she’s taking a dance class that has a couple of performances in the year. It’s certainly a bit more intense from the sweet and calm version she took last year. So her dance teacher and I (who also happens to be a co-worker/friend) are trying to decide…
Read More +Letting her mourn a bit
I’ve mentioned before how Jordan is recognizing her differences… I try not to make a big deal out of the little mentions here and there. But last night was difficult for me and a bit of a moment of awareness for me as a parent. Here’s the story. I was asking Jordan to get ready…
