Jordan’s School Pictures

Rene — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 14:54:43 +0000

I just received Jordan’s school picture proofs today and I can’t get over how much they look like Ryan. I think I like the expression on his face in SH000129 but I’m not really happy with the way his shoulders are not even. SH000130 seems like the best one, but you can tell he’s looking to the side of the camera. So, since I can’t decide, I need help.

Jordan’s First Haircut

Jordan

Ok, Jordan is now 2 1/2 years old (will be 3 in October) and he finally got his first haircut today. Mommy has been very stubborn about the whole haircutting issue. Jordan’s curls were so adorable and they really suited his personality. He was a wild child with wild, curly hair.

Since Jordan will be starting pre-school on Monday, I decided it was time to chop-chop. I took him up to PaPa Warren’s house the night before fathers day and had PaPa get his shears out. Jordan cried almost the entire time, but he was surprisingly good. He did not fight much. Once finished, Grandma Geri treated my little monster with some candy.

He doesn’t even look like the same child…

Jenna’s New Ballet Photos

Jenna and Jill

This year, instead of purchasing the expensive ballet photos from the photographer at Dance factory, Nikki and I decided to have Mark take photos of the girls. They turned out so cute! The girls decided to be extra silly in some of the photos. They still look like beautiful little princesses!

The Christmas House

Jenna at the Christmas House 2007

Our trip to the Christmas House on Palm was a delight to the children and us as well. The house had Christmas decorations throughout the outside and inside rooms. Santa Clause greeted us out front and Jenna FLIPPED out. She started crying and was terrified of Santa. So Mommy and Daddy gave Santa a hug just to show her how kind he is. She seemed to warm up to him after we walked through the house with the decorations. She also made Santa a list of what she wants, and wrote it all by herself.

Jordan was excited about all the trains he saw. A house across the street was set up with trains throughout the yard and the garage. He couldn’t get over all the trains he saw. He even saw THOMAS!

Jordan at the ER

Shortly after I got home, Jamie and JJ came over from next door to see how our new TV was working. JJ, Jenna, and Jordan were all playing somewhere in my room while us adults were discussing the new addition to our family (40″ LCD HDTV).

Next thing we know, JJ comes running out of my bedroom and bolts out the front door. Jenna proceeded to inform us that JJ had thrown a sandal and it hit Jordan. As I was getting on Jenna about tattling… I went to check on Jordan, who was in the closet crying. Next thing I know, there is blood everywhere and Jordan suffered a medium gash just below his eyebrow. I cleaned him up and calmed him down.

After Jim and I examined the wound, we decided to pile in the car and take a well-known trip to the ER. Luckily Jordan did not need stitches, just some nice little band-aids. The nurse wants us to try to keep the bandages on for 3-5 days. HA! Jordan peeled half of them off just on the way home from the ER.

So, Jordan is ok and I feel bad for JJ. It was probably just an accident and he cried more than Jordan did!

Here are the pictures of our trip. You’ll have to excuse the quality — they were taken with my camera phone.
