I feel like my posts have been so short lately, so a few updates. 

Jordan is a walking fool! I'd say he walks about 90% of the time now, which is so amazing. He has even stood up from the ground without pulling up a few times now. He loves to dance and sing and is seriously the sweetest kid. He is pretty much always happy, and even when he is having a terrible two moment, it is short lived. We just recently have been re-approved from the county for funding for his therapy which is AMAZING! We only get 20 visits through insurance, and the rest are out of pocket. Ouch. Jordan is also doing preschool once a week. While physically behind, he is impressing everyone with his vocabulary and knowledge of numbers and letters. He is one smart cookie for sure!

Speaking of smart cookies-Em is loving school this year! BIG change from last year. She is killing it in reading and math. Not so much in spelling. Poor thing studies so hard and just can't get it right when it comes time to take the test. But she is learning an important life lesson-not everything comes to people easy. She has also started practicing for her Christmas concert at school She even asked if we could put the Christmas tree up last weekend. I was all for it, Dad said we had to wait until Halloween is over (boo!). 

Chris and I are just embracing the craziness of life with two kiddos and thanking God for our many blessings!

Can't believe how cold it is getting outside! Kiddos are both doing well-getting excited to Halloween (them for candy, me because I can start listening to Christmas Music November 1...). 


 Cook Kid!

Happy Fall! Wow, how is it already October?! 

Jordan had a rough week, he ended up coming down with croup. He's doing much better now, but still has a lingering cold. Even sick, this kid is crazy happy!

Em had a super fun weekend. She got to make a scarecrow and take a tour of a farm with Girl Scouts. She is kind of in love withe the 5 week old pigs (although she did say the it stinks and she could never live on a farm..city girl!). 

I leave Saturday for a girls week at the beach. I'm super nervous about leaving the kiddos, but they'll be in good hands. My plan for the vacation? Sleep!!
