The Best Brother in the Shadows
Jordan has so much support. I have found articles in South Africa, France, England, India and even Serbia sharing her Project Unicorn story and how Born Just Right is launching a nonprofit so more kids have a chance to learn inclusive design. What you may not know is one of Jordan’s biggest supporters is her…
Read More +The End of Simplicity
No one tells you that as your kids get bigger, life doesn’t get more simple. It gets much more complicated. Each year, my kids get more active and delve into more activities and adventures. I celebrate and support the piano, guitar, robotics, dance, softball, soccer, swimming, track and whatever else tends to come up in…
Read More +It isn't always all about Jordan
It’s kinda hard to be five years old and not the center of all attention. This past weekend Miss Jordan joined the rest of the family as we celebrated her brother’s birthday in Kansas City. Jordan was not on her best behavior… Mainly because she wasn’t the focus. Also, I think it’s because she shared…

This week is Jordan’s brother’s week. His birthday is on April first… and every year you have to deal with a bit of jealousy that comes with the doting of a birthday kid. But this year was different. Jordan was honored to have a birthday brother. She signed and decorated a card and drew a…

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.

Read More +21 Months Old!
This has been a really big month for Jordan. She’s really becoming her own person and this month proved it. She’s turning into an independent, strong little girl. Some of her big changes this month included a TON of words and more understanding of my words. I can also talk a little bit of reason…
Read More +I guess it's time to go home
We are mostly packed up and ready to go… We have two days of 12 hour driving to make it back in time for work on Monday. I kind of feel like the stars and moon aligned properly to send us off the right way — look at that picture. The moon came out with…

We’ve continued this non-stop vacation with non-stop trips. After visiting the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens yesterday, we took the kids to eat at one of the best diners in the country: Moody’s Diner. We got their famous 4-berry pie. We even bought a slice for Jordan She’ll eat it ONLY if disguised in vanilla ice…
Read More +Interesting meeting
Jordan went to work with me this morning because she had a meeting with the physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor at a nearby rehab clinic in town. The doctor checks in with us every once and a while. We met up with him a year ago when I was struggling to find therapists for Jordan.…
