Last night we went to dinner at Mike’s Dad’s house, and had a VERY yummy dinner, and a great time hanging out with “Grandpa and Mimi”. It took a while for Jordan to warm up, as she was in a new house, and hadn’t seen Grandpa and Mimi in a few months, but by the end of our visit she had made friends with both of them. We got a bunch of pictures of the event, which are currently uploading to the gallery. There are 30 pictures, so it should finish uploading tonight, but I’m too tired to stay up and wait for them. Check out the gallery and see if they’ve uploaded yet!

I have finally finished the HUGE task of getting all the photos from the past 2 months uploaded, and label/organized. Not every photo has a caption, but most of them are fairly self explanatory. There are a BUNCH of photos, and 2 new albums: December 2007, and January 2008. Check them out when you have a chance, and I promise to keep up better with the pictures for the rest of this year!
In other news, I’ve been doing a lot of “crafty” things these days. I can’t seem to stick with one project for very long, so I have about a million started right now. The ones I’m mainly working on are: Counted Cross stitch birth sampler for Jordan, Latch hook duck (3D!) for Jordan, Latch hook Eeyore- LARGE flat picture for Jordan, counted cross stitch sampler of Van Gogh’s Starry Night for me, and a “pixel” blanket for Mike of the Black Mage from Final Fantasy. My recently completed projects include a hat for me, 3 hats for Jordan, hats for Tyler, Merrigan, and Christopher, a water bottle holder for Jordan, a punch needle small picture for our bedroom, a cross stitch wedding sampler for Mike and me, a crocheted penguin for Jordan, and one for my grandmother, and I think that’s it. Oh, I also made a large blanket for my parents for Christmas, and 2 smaller blankets for my niece and nephew for Christmas as well. At least I do finish some projects! Here’s a few of those projects:
Penguins- Jordan’s is on the left, Geen’s is on the right

Hats- Mine and one of Jordan’s, and Tyler’s USC hat:

Just thought I’d post as I have a bit of time while Jordan’s still napping. I haven’t posted in so long, and I have so much to post about, but for now I will just say that we went to Kentucky for Christmas, and the time with family was wonderful! The trip getting there and coming back, however is quite a different story, and one that I will post later. Suffice it to say for now: NEVER fly United Airlines!!
Jordan is doing well, and slowly returning to our “normal schedule” whatever that is. She’s eating a lot more table food now, and is only having baby oatmeal at breakfast, and random pureed fruits here and there. She is also refusing to eat unless she feeds herself. She does well with a spoon, and is learning how to stab things with a fork as well. (Hot dogs, etc) Her 18 month check up is just around the corner, and I’m trying to decide if I want to switch doctors before or after her next appointment. Her doctor is in Long Beach, and that’s quite a drive for us. I’ve heard good things about a lot of doctors around here, so maybe we’ll switch soon. Jordan now has 11 teeth, and is working on a 12th. (3 of her back molars are in, and the bottom left is just poking through now.) She’s very interested in the potty, and we’ve started some “pre-potty training”. She’s fairly consistantly taking a 3+ hour nap every day, just depends on what time she goes down. I’m trying to figure out when her “best time” to nap is. I’ve been trying to push it to 2pm, but I think she wants it earlier. Fridays seem to go the best for her when she has 2 Gymboree classes in the morning(play, then music), then we sometimes go out to lunch with friends from Gymboree, then home for a nap around 1-ish.
That’s about it from here. I’m really trying to get the pictures organized, and some of them are up, I’ve just hidden them, so I can organize them first. I’m hoping by the end of next week to be caught up with all of that!
