Snow Play with a New Addition
My return home from a week-long work trip included a much snowier town than what I had left. Luckily, it stuck around long enough for me to enjoy some snow time with the kids. We live on a hill and when it’s super snowy, few people use our street. It is usually one of the…

Our snow has melted… But before it did, Jordan spent as much time out in the cold stuff as possible. I actually had to bribe her with hot chocolate to come inside. I caught a few moments of her outside… she wanted to build a snowman, but we didn’t really have that much snow. But…

Just when we thought Jordan’s was healthy, she continues to have tummy troubles. Last week, she spiked a horrible fever mixed with having a hard time keeping medicine down. It was super sad. She came around last weekend a little, but had another fallback and missed school on Monday. It was ANOTHER missed day of…

We had a heck of a snow storm in our town. It isn’t the largest amount I’ve ever seen… but it was quite possibly the deepest Jordan’s ever been around. She had a pretty hard time walking through it… and that’s when we figured out her snow pants are two sizes too small. Yup. This…

It snowed last night and that means two very happy kids in our household. I woke up with a little girl begging to get her boots on and head out into the snow. So that’s just what both kids did. Jordan and her brother jumped in and ran around in the cold snow and didn’t…

I don’t know how she does it… But Jordan will play outside in the snow forever if I let her. She spent almost an hour during a snowstorm yesterday. When she got inside she demanded hot chocolate. Classic kid.

So… Getting a sled to move in the right direction is tricky for any almost four-year-old… But it’s even trickier when you’re working with one hand. So when I plopped Jordan onto a sled yesterday, she ended up riding in an old-school wooden sled that we just let go. No steering, just sliding. She ended…

Miss Jordan got her first real dose of snow yesterday. The kids and I rushed through the morning get-ready process so we could play in the snow before walking Cam to school. Jordan was wary at first: I pulled her in the sled for a while. Then she got brave and walked around. She also…

It flurried today. Nothing worth taking pictures of… But WOW was it cool to Jordan. I picked her up at school today and she rushed over to the window yelling: “Nooo! Noooo, Mommy!” Yes, “no” means “snow” in Jordan speak. She was very excited… Until I tried to get her outside to see the “no.”…

She did it… Jordan stood up on her own today! She stood up on the coffee table twice! Why? She was reaching for her daddy’s wallet and remotes… and she pushed up enough to stand! Then I started putting all kinds of things she wanted onto the table. She didn’t think I was very funny.…
