I'm a Big Brother

The new addition to our family made a surprise early arrival on Tuesday, November 23rd. We welcomed Ava Christina a week early weighing 6lbs 6oz and a whopping 19in long. She is a very petite little lady and absolutely beautiful!!

Jordan is adjusting pretty well to sharing the spotlight with his little sister. He has been very helpful as well as pointing out all the things he can do that she can't yet.

Super Reader!

Jordan has progressed from learning the alphabet to sight words and now we have moved on to books!! I ordered some books that contain all the sight words he already knows to encourage him to read on his own. Tonight he decided to put on his favorite costume and show off his new skills. I'm so proud him I can barely contain myself. I am so amazed at his desire to learn new things. He has always enjoyed being read to, now he is loving the fact that he can read to us. All this at just 3 years old.....wow!!

Jordan Says.....

Don't blame me. I voted!

Halloween Recap

Everyone knows I love to dress Jordan in costume.....this is why Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. We started with a party at daycare and ended the week with trick or treating at a local shopping center.

The party at daycare was packed full activities and Jordan was up for everything.

Happy Birthday Mommy

Daddy and Jordan made sure I had a great birthday week. Even though Daddy was out of town he had presents and cards deliver to me throughout the week. He also called Jordan's daycare and had them have Jordan and his friends make me a special present. Jordan has been singing happy birthday all week and asking everyday is it still my birthday. He presented his class creation to me again today with a song.


We completed the day with a round of miniture golf and trip to Friendly's where Jordan got to eat all the goodies Mommy can't have. A perfect day all around with the exception of the Broncos poor performance at home :(

Visit to the Pumpkin Patch

We decided to visit a local garden this past weekend to get our pumpkins to decorate for Halloween. We had a great time on the hay ride, running through the maze and buying over-priced pumpkins :)

Touch a Truck

Today we went to the 5th Annual Touch a Truck presented by Junior League of Richmond.This event offers children a hands-on opportunity to explore heavy machinery and meet the people who build, protect and serve the Richmond community. There was everything thing there from police cars to military helicopters. Jordan especially loved the farm equipment and Fun Bus.
