Day by Day

Jordan is officially one today. Man, how this year has flown by. Here is a photo of Jordan one day old, and the photo we put in her birthday party invitations. She is such a blessing to us. Happy first birthday sweet little one.

Now that I have updated my blog I don't have the live feed that shows me that people actually come around. Please be sure and leave us comments so we know there's more than just chirping crickets on our blog.:)

Hi everyone. Wow, it's been a month since I've blogged. We've had a busy summer around here. In July Adam accepted a position at a church about an hour from us working with the youth and children. We are enjoying being at the new church. Everyone has been so nice to us. We've already taken the youth group to Carowinds for the Big Youth Thing. We saw MercyMe in concert, that was great! I did realize as I rode all of my favorite rides that I am not as young as I used to be. Before, I would ride a roller coaster non stop if I could. We had that opportunity on The Hurler. After two consecutive rides I was out for the count. I was officially the chaperone sitting at the exit waiting on the youth. Man, that makes me sound old.

Adam started school this week. If you go to one of my first posts you will see a photo of his books from last semester. Big difference! And this semester's stack is missing a few books.

Jackson was "tracked out" of school for three weeks. He was pretty bored and ready to go back. We tried to keep him busy but apparently we're not as fun as kindergarten.:) We did go with our church preschool group to a life and science museum last weekend and he thought that was pretty awesome!

Jordan is all over the place now that she has mastered crawling. I definitely see mischief in her future. She is already sneaky, trying to find that one thing she shouldn't touch. She finally learned to put her Cheerios in her mouth. The problem with mastering that skill is that now EVERYTHING goes into her mouth! Jackson never was one to put things in his mouth so this is new to us. This coming weekend we will be celebrating Jordan's first birthday. I can't believe she is almost one, where has the time gone?

Here she is, our crawler. Jordan has been crawling for two weeks and already is into everything. All day she goes from living room to kitchen and back again, seeing what she can get into. Today she managed to pull a white tip off a door stopper so I had to go around the house and remove them all, pull my computer keyboard off the desk, unroll the toilet paper in the downstairs bath, and try to go DOWN the stairs. We keep a hawk eye on her upstairs and shut the door when we are in a certain room. I've got to look around for gates that go at the top of the stairs. She also got a big girl car seat. She was 1/4 inch away from the height limit on her infant carrier. I got a Lazyboy of a chair, she can use it until she is 50lbs. Jackson isn't even 50lbs yet so she'll be in the seat for a while. Jackson took the photo of her sleeping yesterday while on the way home from church. It was too cute not to share.

Jackson is officially a kindergartener now! So far he loves it. His favorite part of school..... eating lunch.:)
