Long Time

Well it's been over a month since my last post. It has been a crazy time in our lives. So to begin this tale we start in Atlanta at Lori's sisters house for the week of July 4th. It was a fun but hectic time. We saw Scott and Kristen who were in from Korea. We went to Six Flags and spent all day there with the kids and we went white water rafting at the end of the week. It was great but there were so many people in the house it was hard to find your thoughts sometimes. Then Lori and I went to WV to my Dads time share for our 1 yr anniversary while her parents kept Jordan for a few days. It was great, quiet and relaxing. They brought Jordan to us on that Wednesday which was her three month birthday and we spent the rest of the week just lounging around with her parents and my Dad and family. We then came home from our two week escapade and had to start getting ready to move. We start tonight moving into a 3 bedroom town house, much more room for family and friends to stay in and Jordan will finally get her own room. We are really looking forward to it. Well I promise for anyone who reads this and for our future reference that I will be much better at continually updating this blog.

Well, it has been a long time since I posted but there has been alot going on in our lives. Over the last week we went to a minor league baseball game with Jordan, her first game! It was really cool! Then my Uncle Colby and his family came down and stayed with us for a night. His boys were really good with Jordan, and on Fathers day we cooked breakfast for everyone. Lori, Jordan, and I went down to Atlanta this weekend for my birthday, it was the best birthday I have had since I was ten. First we went to a Braves game, then Joel and I played golf Sat. morning and then watched their oldest son Elijah play allstar baseball. Then theat night we went to a Steve Miller Band Concert. What a weekend! Finally we came back home and I had some daddy time with Jordan. Going and doing things is great but Daddy time is the best!!!

Shots after Shots!

Jordan had her shots yesterday so both Lori and I took the day off to be there with her. It was a traumatic experience, not for Jordan but for the two of us. Lori cried more than Jordan. After they gave her the third shot Jordan stopped crying all together. Then Lori left for a teaching job interview which she aced. We are hoping to hear the good new by tomorrow. Today Lori put Jordan in a little dress and showed her of to some friends at work. After I got home a friend of ours Mandy brought her son Peyton over and we took pictures before they went on thier walk. Although I am terrified of the inevitablity of Jordan getting close to a young man it was a cute photo op!

Back from Vacation!

Lori, Jordan, and I went to the Massenutten Resort in Western Virgina with her parents and her sister, her husband and three kids. It was alot of fun being up there but theres something to be said about finally being home. While we were there Katie, Joel and Elijah flew to Florida for Joel to test for his master level in martial arts which he achieved. As for Lori, Jordan and I we all had a great time, we took over 300 pictures from her first water park experience, Lori and I playing golf and us going to a winery for a tour. We had a great time and owe alot to the Grandparents for looking after Jordan when we did things on our own. We also went to the Shenandoa Caverns as a family and spent alot of time together which is always nice, we have been so blessed, plus Jordan slept the entire trip up there, we weren't as lucky on the way back!

What are they thinking!

You ever have the feeling that when kids aren't sleeping thier thinking of mischevious things. Well I get that alot with Jordan, as you can see why. Lori and Jordan had nap time yesterday and thats all I could think of. Well today we had church and then we came home for bath time, she is so cute I took at least 40 pictures. Here are some of them!

Time for Golf!

Today I took the day off and watched Jordan in the morning so Lori didn't have to take her to work. It was a great morning of snuggling with my baby girl. We then spent the day relaxing and sleeping some more after Lori got home, but later in the afternoon we all went out to the driving range and hit some golf balls. I always wanted Lori to get into golf and I finally did about 6 months before she got pregnant. Now she loves it but hasn't been able to play for 8 months. Well today we finally did get out to hit some and we had Jordan there watching Mommy and Daddy stink up the place!

The Other Baby!

Mandy came by today to visit with Lori. She brought Peyton with her, he is her one month old so. he was born exactly two weeks later than Jordan. Mandy and Lori really helped each other out during thier pregnancy. Its also cool that the kids are so close in age everything we go through with Jordan they go through just a few weeks later!
