I’m going through HUNDREDS of photos taken by so many parents who are here with the 25 kids attending this year. It’s amazing to see. Only four years ago there were four families with maybe nine kids… It was tiny.…

Getting ready for the big day

Jordan is crazy excited and I’m picking up the house like a banshee for Jordan’s first big birthday party with friends. We’re just three days away from her big day and since we’re having it at our house, I’m focused on things being clean so little girls can run around the house without finding strange…
