Things are pretty crazy getting ready for the big move. Which of course means a kiddo gets sick! Poor Em had an AWFUL sinus infection. She slept more that I've ever remembered, but she is finally feeling better! Good thing this week is Spring Break for her and Chris! Jo is cute as ever. he has been using his left hand TON more after botox (yay!) so we are excited to see how that progresses. Busy weeks ahead, but we love this life! 

 Pancakes makes everything better! 
 Poor girl! 

 Ice cream with uncle!

Crazy week (life!). First, we SOLD our house and had our offer a a new house accepted. WHAT?! Yes, happened all crazy fast and now somehow we are going to pack up our house and move in the next 3 weeks...awesome. 

Jo had his first round of Botox. So far we are seeing a slight improvement in the function of his left arm so we'll see.

During Lent we are trying to make a point to spend more time together as a family. With the kiddos being 4 years a part, sometimes it is just easier for one parent to go with one kiddo, and the other with the other. It works, but does not lend a ton of together time. Em and Jo have such a special bond, we really want to make sure as parents we are continuing to develop that bond in to a life long friendship.

 Em setting up mass in our kitchen. She was very upset that being a priest wouldn't be an option for her...she said she'll just have to change that...

Jordan had CP clinic. Of course they were amazed by his progress! We a looking at doing a 3 week program this summer where they'll cast his right hand and he'll have 3 hours a PT/day for 3 weeks. Seems like a lot, but we've been told it works miracles! Other than that, kiddos are doing great. Both are at fun ages and our little Jordan is really starting to get a personality (see those dance moves below). 


 Dance like no one is watching! 

 Still happy after 2 hours of Drs.!
Cracks me up!

Happy Birthday Chris! It was a weekend of Chris! Friday night we went out with friends to a brewery and crafted cocktail place. Although we were home by 10-we stayed up until almost 2 playing cards and hanging out with friends. Seemed like a great idea until Jordan sill work up just after 6am. Yikes. 

Saturday we had family time and endulged in lobster mac and cheese and chocolate ganache cake. Sooo good. Yeah...they diet starts today! 

All in all, Chris (who HATES his birthday) has a pretty awesome weekend!

This Cleveland weather is nuts. We go from polar vortex to playing outside with no coats and back again. Of course, kiddos both have stuffy noses from the up and down, just hoping no one gets too sick! 

Jordan was a rock star at gymnastics this week. He tried a lot more things that he usually does. One of the Moms asked me how old he was. I got ready to go in to my whole speech about why he walks a little different and does things a little slower, but she quickly added how amazed she was at how well he speaks. Wow. That was kind of an awesome moment! 

Em is also rocking gymnastics. This week the concentrated on the high and low bards doing front and back flips. Freaks me out but she loves it. She is still loving school and had a really great group of friends. Glad she is hitting her stride with it all! 



 Em kept Jordan entertained making him look for all the trucks/cars in the play room. By the way...there are 22...

 Weekend project-new butcher block counter on the island.  We are going to see how it holds up-if it goes well we'll do all the counters in this (and paint cabinets white). 


School and volleyball season are in full swing. And finally fall!
