Happy Anniversary



Happy Anniversary to Daddy Mark and my best friend. Six years have really gone fast and aren't we blessed?!? We have achieved so much in six years and I couldn't be more proud of the husband and father you have become. One of these years we really will take a vacation on our anniversary instead of having a sleep deprived night with a newborn. :) Lots of love to Mark!

Happy 4 Weeks to Baby Jenna




We spent the day at the Gaylord Resort with the ladies (and Gary and Mark) in my family. What a treat! Jordan and Jenna definitely entertained all the "grandmas" and the "aunts" and the "cousins" too. A nice, relaxing day. So thankful for the love and support of family.

A Day of Firsts

Today, Jenna and I started getting back into walking for exercise. I figured I am now over 3 weeks from surgery so should be up to walking a bit in the mornings when it is still less than 100 degrees. Jenna got to use the Sling for the first time today and seemed to like it just fine - slept the whole walk. Jenna and I also picked up Jordan from school today - all on our own. Jenna got to meet most of Jordan's teachers and ALL the two year olds who were up at school. Jordan was so proud to show her off ("Her so Cute") and told all her friends that they had to wash their hands and that they could only touch Jenna's feet. Obviously, that is what we have told her over and over again. She's like a little parrot - repeating all we say.

Good bye to the Two's Class

One of Jordan's Two's Teachers is moving classes this week to teach the Toddlers, however Jordan changes classes in two weeks with the start of a new year. In Jordan's backpack last night was the sweetest note from her old teacher:

My precious little Jordan
You are such a blessing I wanted you to know
I've loved our time together - how fast our time did go.
Please come see me often - I'd love to watch you grow!
And see all that you are learning - There's so much more you'll know!
One thing I hope I taught you - To remember your whole life through
You are so very special Jordan - There is no other you!

And she wrote a more personal note too:
I think I am going to miss Jordan most of all. We have spent so much time together. We have become good friends. She is precious and brilliant. I can't believe how much she has grown. Please bring her by to see me often. Thank you for all you've done for the class and for the teachers. It really meant a lot to us. Can't wait to see Baby Jenna!
