A simple tracing…

A simple tracing looks so darn cool when it’s Jordan. This is Jordan with a pony tail… Her teacher traced her and Jordan added the brown decorations. I dig the spiky hair:

Boo!

Jordan had a very busy and fun weekend for Halloween – along with being Abby Cadabby at her school and neighborhood parties, she got to be a lion during equestrian therapy. I think she looked adorable in both outfits… But she was VERY upset in the lion outfit. She told me she wasn’t pretty enough.…

Loving the leaves

It’s Fall! It’s been an ugly Fall… All kinds of cold weather and a lot of rain. But it’s also any other Fall where the trees are changing colors and I can’t handle missing a chance to take pictures of the kids! We’ve had a few days recently where the weather has improved while those…

Hyped up…

Jordan’s new thing to say when she sees me at the end of her school day is: “Where are we going next?” We’re so schedule-packed that when we don’t go anywhere she’s disappointed. I’m trying so hard to try and calm our lives down. Last week I canceled trips to the gym so the kids…

Good moving forward

Jordan and the rest of the family met up with David Rotter – who built Jordan’s current prosthetic (and its many hands). The girl LOVES “Mr. David” and I wanted Randy and Cameron to meet him too. So we all showed off Jordan’s growing skills with her bike arm. I’m pretty darn excited to see…

A bunch of little things

We met with Jordan’s physical therapist today. We haven’t met with her in months and there have been a bunch of tiny things that have concerned us… Tiny things according to school include how Jordan falls down a little more than others sometimes. Tiny things like how I’ve noticed Jordan sometimes slouches. Her occupational therapist…
