Jordan's Birthday

March 31st, our little man, turned three years old.  I cannot believe it.  He is so precious, and he is growing up so quickly.  We enjoyed a small construction birthday party for him on that Saturday. 

 Here are all the construction workers!!!

 John David is working on building in the sandbox.

 Lawson is checking out the saw.

 Jordan and Matthew are working on the deck.

 Marjorie Anne and Emily are simply relaxing in the hammock.

 Here is Jordan's birthday cake.

Mmm--This is so good!!

What a fun birthday party!!  We had a blast celebrating.  Jordan loves parties so it was fun to see how much enjoyed everyone being there for his birthday.  What a blessing our precious little boy is!!





Fun with Mimi and Pop

What a great joy to have Mimi and Pop visit.  We enjoyed seeing them and Jordan and Hannah had a blast with their grandparents.

More Mexico

As I said, Mexico was a great week.  Jordan thoroughly enjoyed the pool, and the days were gorgeous with highs near 80 degrees.  It was very nice to enjoy the pool without being hot!!

 Jordan also loved looking at the fish in the little pools at the resort.

 Jordan and I liked how the cleaning lady set up his animals on his bed.

 Dad and Jordan enjoyed playing in the baby poolwith its little water fountains.

 Jordan also enjoyed us holding him around this big pool.

 Dad and Jordan at a nice restaurant where Philip and I had some delicious salmon.

 Here we are enjoying our great dinner.

 JOrdan enjoyed digging on the beach.  He, of course, thought it was a really big sandbox.

 We had fun pushing Jordan around in this little tube.  Here are Jordan and Dad in the baby pool.

 Here are Mom and Jordan in the baby pool.

One night we had dinner on a grass lawn overlooking the beach.

Aren't they handsome!?!

What a great week we had and how fun to have Jordan with us for the first time on one of these vacation trips!!  We had a blast and will enjoy, Lord willing, taking Hannah with us also when she gets older.

Great Neighbors & a Great Trip

 Before our trip to Mexico, we had a chance to hang out with our neighbors as we so often enjoy doing in our cul de sac.  We are so blessed to have such great neighbors.

On March 19th, Jordan, Philip and I headed to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for a relaxing vacation.  We enjoyed a great time together as well as some excellent food and some fabulous massages.  As you can see Jordan enjoyed the great food as well.

 My marshmallow is pink--how fun is that!?!

 We also enjoyed beautiful sunsets.

 One evening we ate dinnner at a restaurant overlooking the beach.  Here we are with the beach with the sunset in the background.

 We took time to have a fun little photoshoot one evening with Jordan.  What a handsome looking boy--of course, I am not biased at all. :)

What a blessing to enjoy a relaxing week away with my husband and our precious little man!!

Hannah's Leg

This post is an explanation of some delay in my posts.  My birthday was March 14th.  And, let's just say that it turned out to be quite the exciting birthday.  Wednesday afternoon I took Hannah to the doctor to have her ears checked and she had an ear infection.  Upon returning home, I was changing Jordan in his room.  Hannah loves Jordan's bed and crawled up on it while I was changing Jordan.  In the process of my changing Jordan, she fell out of his bed.  A little over an hour later we headed back to the doctor because she would not put weight on her right leg.  The pediatrician checked her out and verified their were no major head or back injusries but thought that we should have her leg x-rayed.  Therefore, we needed to go to WakeMed ER.  Hannah and I arrived at WakeMed ER at a little after 6pm.  Philip joined us about 8:45pm and we arrived back home around 1:30am with Hannah in a cast because she had fractured her right femur.  She is adjusting very well to having a cast and has learned to crawl and even to stand up.  Pictured below is the Hannah's original cast wrapped in ace bandage, and as you can see, she is still smiling and happy.  I love how resilient God made children.  Praise the Lord for protecting my baby girl.



Reading & Building

Several days now we have spent inside because of illness.  We have had some fun together as a family.  Hannah and Daddy love to read together in the recliner.

Jordan enjoyed building designs with tires this morning.

Jordan and Mommy enjoyed making cookies and bugs with playdough.

Praise the Lord--I think we are finally starting to get better.  Lord willing we will all be well soon and hopefully, stay well.
