Happy Valentine's Day!

Tonight we painted Valentine's for our family and friends. Jordan loves to paint and tonight proved that we don't do this near enough! We talked about how we are making these to give to and realize that there is still some understanding to be had about giving and receiving! :)

We hope you will have a terrific Valentine's Day...we love you!

a night at Nana's

Yesterday afternoon, Jordan woke up from her nap and was delighted to learn that she was going to be spending the night at Nana and Papa Carroll's! A friend of ours was getting some folks together to celebrate his birthday. He actually turned out sick (bronchitis), but we went to dinner with a newly married couple who we haven't seen since their November wedding. There was plenty of time for Kenneth and I to catch a movie, too! I was happily surprised to be able to sleep in until around 9...

Big girl underwear update--Jordan wore big girl underwear all week and learned how quickly we respond to that little word 'potty', especially in the car. We've stopped more than once this week on the way to or from school to go potty with varying degrees of success! Friday night we went to Guad's and even though it only took a little more than an hour to go from school to Guad's and home again, Jordan went to the potty 5 times--4 at the restaurant and once at McDonald's less than 200 feet from Guad's! :)
Yes, I took her every time, so Kenneth is due!
