WoW it's been a really, really, really, long time!!! My girls are so big they look nothing like they did a few years ago. I am so proud of both of them! They have both accomplished a lot in the past few years. Recently, Jordyn just won a softball championship and Zoe had her dance recital. I'm going to try to get back into the swing of things!David and Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080798135755574876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23259526.post-87354898241156084902010-03-30T19:25:00.000-07:002010-03-30T19:32:15.463-07:00Jordyn's family day<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyDZYDGVqjkKzk0BpTh3pnLVi5RSJFQ7mS3O6HuBEdfC_yy3VBhV-N0SLFifWRZt2aCKVOo6bsmU7-16Hs-SwCev_p-Xlo0b0qwq-rAzzU9wE2szaMYCcgpPUdCvleZfkk23JD/s1600/IMG_3941.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454620153109591426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyDZYDGVqjkKzk0BpTh3pnLVi5RSJFQ7mS3O6HuBEdfC_yy3VBhV-N0SLFifWRZt2aCKVOo6bsmU7-16Hs-SwCev_p-Xlo0b0qwq-rAzzU9wE2szaMYCcgpPUdCvleZfkk23JD/s320/IMG_3941.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidFL2Y8WDeKxhWmNmTdkOxyBZH-DK_Rd-ydn9_923MVvbRSY9_zuNGLrTL5rONszQn5Lni5qV0Ytep_YQvVX09BHY0QCHlIsW_QpTTW4AmJaaL93wFwBLyPtgPrqTZ537OKhTi/s1600/IMG_3924.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454620144589393042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidFL2Y8WDeKxhWmNmTdkOxyBZH-DK_Rd-ydn9_923MVvbRSY9_zuNGLrTL5rONszQn5Lni5qV0Ytep_YQvVX09BHY0QCHlIsW_QpTTW4AmJaaL93wFwBLyPtgPrqTZ537OKhTi/s320/IMG_3924.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinGsPyMXEIrRl5NQ-9kaOnyUirkYBfgkqTVjM4iANYWC6ZjZDgZo6e3EDC02x6JME8BGu5e695Ajoq0fUqLv5DT283F__lR25A0iCEQY8GKjn-gLz3qtIC-YSt8yDp86sZoRmz/s1600/IMG_3917.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454620136333215586" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinGsPyMXEIrRl5NQ-9kaOnyUirkYBfgkqTVjM4iANYWC6ZjZDgZo6e3EDC02x6JME8BGu5e695Ajoq0fUqLv5DT283F__lR25A0iCEQY8GKjn-gLz3qtIC-YSt8yDp86sZoRmz/s320/IMG_3917.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg44PdtdKeWvSZnr9gVuu4DTJt0wt8TCRvYKFXmuazuXj-2ihexQGV1M9ySRURzVTnjHD7ml2WwNyk_A2coMODTGM6YRfFW0Y_g-DIIaueSbcQvpxNYNjrHK8Mi0PH6_Fi2buXh/s1600/chinavisit3_6.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 239px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 263px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454620127953183682" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg44PdtdKeWvSZnr9gVuu4DTJt0wt8TCRvYKFXmuazuXj-2ihexQGV1M9ySRURzVTnjHD7ml2WwNyk_A2coMODTGM6YRfFW0Y_g-DIIaueSbcQvpxNYNjrHK8Mi0PH6_Fi2buXh/s320/chinavisit3_6.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Hi- it was Jordyn's family day on the 23rd of March. We went to see the Lion King on broadway to celebrate a few weeks before. I don't think she loved it but she tolerated it and Dave, Zoe and myself had a great time. We have been truly blessed with a fabulous child with a wonderful sense of humor ( when she wants to show it). I have been amazed by Jordyn at every moment we have shared together. We love you to the infinity and back, baby!!!</div></div></div></div>David and Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080798135755574876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23259526.post-58954193761014554832010-02-20T19:10:00.000-08:002010-02-20T19:17:56.743-08:00Happy New Year!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnWg8rKkC8REbk5yPzapzFou8Bf0YUxkpc5xVAzsZ_MbTMrNYj7L2qCDV47XAZFMyLWzWyUNWId7VBTQSsBpazR8uqYTQYutxl9jtBSjZ1aIfAo0gSW_MniT4j0-5-NMs-XGOU/s1600-h/IMG_3824.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

All the kids seem to have a blast and it was a great afternoon!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>David and Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080798135755574876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23259526.post-32852013264729203962010-02-19T20:39:00.000-08:002010-02-19T20:54:50.456-08:00Updates<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1dg0RGOyawjJ-dxGtNZI40aNhX_cfeGO3LgwAhweHkArsRj3LrBVEl0YfNNGm65g6zl_oQnw1rZsK5nIVzp6WF2sfxl8BvGweWoM-IR5ePw0Ob74GOKMTtqiwuhaqvK-9uerp/s1600-h/IMG_3737.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440183959483262818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1dg0RGOyawjJ-dxGtNZI40aNhX_cfeGO3LgwAhweHkArsRj3LrBVEl0YfNNGm65g6zl_oQnw1rZsK5nIVzp6WF2sfxl8BvGweWoM-IR5ePw0Ob74GOKMTtqiwuhaqvK-9uerp/s320/IMG_3737.JPG" /></a> Jordyn downtown<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5rCCbQ6eoOkIc39OklxnQ_qYS1lHOHtg139r6qgnSfXIy8ptLjmiga678edcjW5HqkoPtIh3EDauZ1EYeo3jXh8h26nCcKKgBH9WsRz8QwiYCzF5TSdxoDe-FCXwemROZr2tn/s1600-h/IMG_3736.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440183947407768370" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5rCCbQ6eoOkIc39OklxnQ_qYS1lHOHtg139r6qgnSfXIy8ptLjmiga678edcjW5HqkoPtIh3EDauZ1EYeo3jXh8h26nCcKKgBH9WsRz8QwiYCzF5TSdxoDe-FCXwemROZr2tn/s320/IMG_3736.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIRV8nYJfjE6XeXSrVtPUeYbf4jo1mNjgoGUUMgP13mwCgQO0ZYaGsM9JCQrIS9_8_2AGk-A2GOVeoJ8gScg3B8p_sFDqFBn9BPn9v3gDtqIz4db6a9eU8J6LPaGK6tuXC94PN/s1600-h/IMG_3657.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440183940575367714" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIRV8nYJfjE6XeXSrVtPUeYbf4jo1mNjgoGUUMgP13mwCgQO0ZYaGsM9JCQrIS9_8_2AGk-A2GOVeoJ8gScg3B8p_sFDqFBn9BPn9v3gDtqIz4db6a9eU8J6LPaGK6tuXC94PN/s320/IMG_3657.JPG" /></a> Zoe's new big girl bed!!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6RUq7ovu8ps4zDiuqhWPe948pPP0EWjkbz8bz6hJOY1enmR6el8vUqbiFgc4vLt9Lb_suZTRuJasunQ663FcVG8az2Tr_KBNk62_oqZgPB-1Y3FoAPl8Pv6CWcdHox6DK_AjV/s1600-h/IMG_3712.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440183934343773746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6RUq7ovu8ps4zDiuqhWPe948pPP0EWjkbz8bz6hJOY1enmR6el8vUqbiFgc4vLt9Lb_suZTRuJasunQ663FcVG8az2Tr_KBNk62_oqZgPB-1Y3FoAPl8Pv6CWcdHox6DK_AjV/s320/IMG_3712.JPG" /></a> The girls ( Zoe , Raenen and Jordyn) making dumplings<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9edFP60uHHdJY6zqZE9HUS63dsLv3FW6JL0AoUZQPcGZ3UYTeSLr8EEPWKpdVM3Fc1l4O-_yZbs_m04RPq00uMegIt7s4mn1M3tFBUJf_q7IyBuW_MQ2aTDEXYdPAI4R9FMZd/s1600-h/IMG_3710.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440183929674232722" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9edFP60uHHdJY6zqZE9HUS63dsLv3FW6JL0AoUZQPcGZ3UYTeSLr8EEPWKpdVM3Fc1l4O-_yZbs_m04RPq00uMegIt7s4mn1M3tFBUJf_q7IyBuW_MQ2aTDEXYdPAI4R9FMZd/s320/IMG_3710.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>I know it has been many months since I posted. So much time has passed and the girls have kept me very busy. We have celebrated the holidays, Valentine's day, Chinese New Year and have had a ton of fun. We are lucky to live in an area where there are some large Chinese New Year celebrations and we are going to go to one of the parades tomorrow with some of our amazing friends. Zoe was happy to dance on stage at Chinese school ( and Jordyn was happy not to do that). I had the pleasure of spending the whole last week with Jordyn by ourselves. We went into the city a couple of times and I love that she knows which subway to take. We went to Max Brenner's place ( the chocolate bald guy) definately one of my new favorite places as well as visited her Uncle Darrin and her Dad at work. I was lucky to receive a card this morning that had a picture of the two of us on the cover, both smiling with flowers and lots of hearts and a big I love you inside ( this is huge people!!) Sometimes I can't tell if she's happy to spend the alone time with me but apparently she was. Today her class had a bowl a thon for Haiti and the newspaper came to do a story on the kids. Jordyn was so happy she actually smiled and let the photographer take her picture.I can't wait to see the article. Thank you to all my friends and family who donated!!</div></div></div></div></div>David and Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080798135755574876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23259526.post-50609446641453198572009-10-12T18:08:00.000-07:002009-10-12T18:23:00.627-07:00Love the Fall!!!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391887590227553890" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibh8Sqif8yxBFbCLVFKPECAJUhOjWyMm16yMWOT13piO_EWbVm48zll4nUjBkbl8Gw03KVMFHBl09xekMOEVn-KdswuW5L9a65-5dwsLMAYkV-kgXYC3ZpYi4mhfDsb5kJDASQ/s320/IMG_3214.JPG" /> Zoe loves playing soccer this fall!

We also celebrated family day not to long ago. I cannot believe that Zoe has only been with us 3 years, it feels like she has always been here. Jordyn is so good with her little sister and Zoe is just as good with her. There is nothing more I want than for the two of them to be the best of friends and the closest of sisters. Right now they are sometimes inseperable and I hope it stays that way. We had a great family weekend and we were able to see some of our wonderful friends. </div></div></div></div></div>David and Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080798135755574876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23259526.post-80930992702585658102009-09-02T05:17:00.000-07:002009-09-02T05:29:51.705-07:00Almost back to school!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr-sujCoXmtK-XkE8h5wycqEnDUIfGvMWoHsMPaKeTXQShARBupeS9dTDguW3z1E-r6WakfcG8K2zcaR5zdrQ0ghVkugdoI1nFbUNMxbyafbWr-u6GLleOpl0KLZylzWjJlhpP/s1600-h/IMG_3137.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376846083164294866" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr-sujCoXmtK-XkE8h5wycqEnDUIfGvMWoHsMPaKeTXQShARBupeS9dTDguW3z1E-r6WakfcG8K2zcaR5zdrQ0ghVkugdoI1nFbUNMxbyafbWr-u6GLleOpl0KLZylzWjJlhpP/s320/IMG_3137.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrf6yZe9h2TeZN5LlYOQ80sIw1EALOShUD9hHhlRAcLV4MQXHMyDBJQHDX015RlGTI6m92diRPC09QD8R_CttjqRGZObVJ5cKHEEUPO5TJJsTLTDdrzeGI3EqDK1kTKT4WsA84/s1600-h/IMG_3134.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376846074488570690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrf6yZe9h2TeZN5LlYOQ80sIw1EALOShUD9hHhlRAcLV4MQXHMyDBJQHDX015RlGTI6m92diRPC09QD8R_CttjqRGZObVJ5cKHEEUPO5TJJsTLTDdrzeGI3EqDK1kTKT4WsA84/s320/IMG_3134.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG8WSHOSP7SEu-pOmj_jP7eRqNZ7Olw3K5829TuEIQ06raKaGZRovazcB8nWmOWFQKuK4W8G6uvOv0UU51arMtwEKvGWwUwzaAKxzBBGUwcFrJG8c87A89hDKFuIgt6lRsJliP/s1600-h/IMG_3081.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376846064445202226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG8WSHOSP7SEu-pOmj_jP7eRqNZ7Olw3K5829TuEIQ06raKaGZRovazcB8nWmOWFQKuK4W8G6uvOv0UU51arMtwEKvGWwUwzaAKxzBBGUwcFrJG8c87A89hDKFuIgt6lRsJliP/s320/IMG_3081.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZAie7016tixxpXt4r56I9WbfyFf6yvs5LUl0mh-P26hz2kmKrTilRRt7XywACclrSytImgiq7HBY1O7fIl8P9Zsr-4fMb_yfpx2tQgy8lI5nuYtmqt7QXvU0w1-ENyCWXc4AV/s1600-h/IMG_3128.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376846058081027618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZAie7016tixxpXt4r56I9WbfyFf6yvs5LUl0mh-P26hz2kmKrTilRRt7XywACclrSytImgiq7HBY1O7fIl8P9Zsr-4fMb_yfpx2tQgy8lI5nuYtmqt7QXvU0w1-ENyCWXc4AV/s320/IMG_3128.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1za1lI2BvfxVjJLXbe9FwJPgzp32d5eJ9Z1X_wQAcMan9fbuey6n2t2KjC4XimKprVQh1VNfiBjiNNacQmCOGi8_qhpaFvgkIJdq9T9T1kGBRHDac6XJCV3a5urjGx6mh1j47/s1600-h/IMG_3122.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376846051460854034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1za1lI2BvfxVjJLXbe9FwJPgzp32d5eJ9Z1X_wQAcMan9fbuey6n2t2KjC4XimKprVQh1VNfiBjiNNacQmCOGi8_qhpaFvgkIJdq9T9T1kGBRHDac6XJCV3a5urjGx6mh1j47/s320/IMG_3122.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>It has been a while and I don't know where the summer has gone. We have spent our days at the beach from morning until night. The girls had a great time at camp this year but I do think they are excited to go back to school. Jordyn did donate her hair to Locks of Love and I adore her new haircut. It's also so much easier to handle now and should make our mornings a little easier. Since this week is our last before school starts we went to Adventureland the other day with some good friends and later this week we'll be at Sesame Place. Mind you Zoe doesn't watch it ( she's a big Noggin girl) but is very excited to go. I wish she was a little more familiar with the characters but I'm sure it won't stop the fun. </div></div></div></div></div>David and Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080798135755574876noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23259526.post-54107125462673888952009-07-23T19:18:00.000-07:002009-07-23T19:39:38.880-07:00Our little angel turned 7!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigOBJ_eX5Zz7deWP9ecNC2ws-t3VMw2zLo8W0AG5Q5VkLlDG-iEwWOosHqufRAGG7CatbPXXKK5AggeTNBe2eRXdJa5Ijx_aWkuCejQdyUmhBU1R5SJtl5nrP-nQlBPhHQE2Nz/s1600-h/IMG_3061.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigOBJ_eX5Zz7deWP9ecNC2ws-t3VMw2zLo8W0AG5Q5VkLlDG-iEwWOosHqufRAGG7CatbPXXKK5AggeTNBe2eRXdJa5Ijx_aWkuCejQdyUmhBU1R5SJtl5nrP-nQlBPhHQE2Nz/s320/IMG_3061.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361849340079421138" border="0" /></a> Cheers to the cousins!!!!!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjeV7oI4g6z1n_LUk-68gkAhgKAA4iuyRtMV-hRMZ8-AROUXbr-PmIbNnsyz8aEVlWSf5e_CZidrPsV0ngGFeksLQylJ0RQInAAM-Mxx4KUul2jIGQKkabuRO_yx4CA-o5KS_B/s1600-h/IMG_3074.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjeV7oI4g6z1n_LUk-68gkAhgKAA4iuyRtMV-hRMZ8-AROUXbr-PmIbNnsyz8aEVlWSf5e_CZidrPsV0ngGFeksLQylJ0RQInAAM-Mxx4KUul2jIGQKkabuRO_yx4CA-o5KS_B/s320/IMG_3074.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361849320434308498" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg51dPa9lJkEvsQC9aNyHYneswVdIkHkZJVmaqq3P7KtCyEsjONCHvExWV1pY_7Dld31bUh-AaxxqcieDQo2daTqqwKY1alJKKnTpvd1V6CHJCjQpLUG9hP-0Bt6lRAoj9_ET3k/s1600-h/IMG_3069.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg51dPa9lJkEvsQC9aNyHYneswVdIkHkZJVmaqq3P7KtCyEsjONCHvExWV1pY_7Dld31bUh-AaxxqcieDQo2daTqqwKY1alJKKnTpvd1V6CHJCjQpLUG9hP-0Bt6lRAoj9_ET3k/s320/IMG_3069.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361849332894109474" border="0" /></a> Yeah- I got something I wanted!!!!!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVYcAEW9kGvqJSdJraToGRb9BzEUfPxEBQf-BQEQCOi9omf7eMbDVkrYFi_UgeVLuimULLFgZAv2g3SJz_vrfNAgu-VSQtPXLHlXE30Z1x4aEPBgD2JTcwPK_P8yTKbWVd-TEq/s1600-h/IMG_3073.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVYcAEW9kGvqJSdJraToGRb9BzEUfPxEBQf-BQEQCOi9omf7eMbDVkrYFi_UgeVLuimULLFgZAv2g3SJz_vrfNAgu-VSQtPXLHlXE30Z1x4aEPBgD2JTcwPK_P8yTKbWVd-TEq/s320/IMG_3073.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361849323809347538" border="0" /></a> I am 7 and I rock!!!!!!!!!!!<br /> <br />When did that happen? When did our baby turn 7? She is becoming more mature every day. Jordyn loves to read, do art and boss her sister around- she is like a mini grown up sometimes. She had a great birthday and we had a great time celebrating.We had a party last month because she wanted a bunch of her school friends there and then we had family over and continued our festivities at the beach. Jordyn is so much fun to spend time with and I love how much fun I have with her. She has an amazing sense of humor. David said I would kick the soccer ball around with her and she just burst out laughing ( anyone who knows me well knows I hate physical activity, especially with a ball!!) This was one of my favorite Jordisms-<br />Jordyn: Whose babysitting tonight?<br />Me: Grandma A<br />Zoe: I want Grandma J to babysit<br />Jordyn: Grandma J doesn't really know how to babysit - Anyone who knows my mom- knows thats funny!!<br />If she can have the same sarcastic , dry sense of humor as me then we'll be in good shape!!<br />BTW- I have put the comments back on!David and Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080798135755574876noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23259526.post-51606972401934875032009-07-13T18:37:00.000-07:002009-07-13T18:48:24.788-07:00Very Thankful!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDMS3uZvn40qYPJOT9v3SqVv1UirfF7Gj-WqS6qYaPmkrDfcpT25PGwDOZ8Ak30IWIbrLPOVrwtPTUE0WMVWpoVOV27F7QwGmbptpyYSZiSJAOLBRXz6_YVgS7UWj3Az0nqoEg/s1600-h/IMG_3005.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDMS3uZvn40qYPJOT9v3SqVv1UirfF7Gj-WqS6qYaPmkrDfcpT25PGwDOZ8Ak30IWIbrLPOVrwtPTUE0WMVWpoVOV27F7QwGmbptpyYSZiSJAOLBRXz6_YVgS7UWj3Az0nqoEg/s320/IMG_3005.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358126663295776258" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN-NB63tFVyD-OpNkGfwZ06qppuhjMQOAydmWWGnEML7kmGvgeZ975BnWL4Gi5BYWV9DDzNTaMyKjGk_81miC3lx7OyveQcnJZlPfV0CNsCTava0sVGTTnciVyWod-JuXJrkoE/s1600-h/IMG_3008.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN-NB63tFVyD-OpNkGfwZ06qppuhjMQOAydmWWGnEML7kmGvgeZ975BnWL4Gi5BYWV9DDzNTaMyKjGk_81miC3lx7OyveQcnJZlPfV0CNsCTava0sVGTTnciVyWod-JuXJrkoE/s320/IMG_3008.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358126653880363970" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2tB-3ArFqGeEFFjVuptz0yJp3hFJeKeOqIhls3zhaxvsa3e7CizauRqs3e3bMnEuOC7p8X4-opufaZc165f3LEi8Or8VBl_IMHEggkIIcyM7o6LrAef_HcCiqAIbGoJj0o51B/s1600-h/IMG_3002.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2tB-3ArFqGeEFFjVuptz0yJp3hFJeKeOqIhls3zhaxvsa3e7CizauRqs3e3bMnEuOC7p8X4-opufaZc165f3LEi8Or8VBl_IMHEggkIIcyM7o6LrAef_HcCiqAIbGoJj0o51B/s320/IMG_3002.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358126647924992578" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc4g1pxWk4RcT5rE-hk_QILAKQnh5tZC_F5mOfYtzHSrX9I4rriSfID_13u8iOlDLjL_OKzPDSkkk2fxvdFAYBEaKtqJG2VF_0UtbmxtbjZexV-5N1MPx6qw4XVS9TCj-5KrKA/s1600-h/IMG_2994.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc4g1pxWk4RcT5rE-hk_QILAKQnh5tZC_F5mOfYtzHSrX9I4rriSfID_13u8iOlDLjL_OKzPDSkkk2fxvdFAYBEaKtqJG2VF_0UtbmxtbjZexV-5N1MPx6qw4XVS9TCj-5KrKA/s320/IMG_2994.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358126642246050402" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpgjxQUX6ukU74CQ6a3XQiD7_C3K-jYFK7l_lpowfLgmqz9wquHQEJlOYMVFAS5ZTZHk56hI_AlnUQlwFkB5DMmjTodePy2I4NfITesWXJ31fyb6MasRSWIRXGuMwNcLKs-eFl/s1600-h/IMG_2992.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpgjxQUX6ukU74CQ6a3XQiD7_C3K-jYFK7l_lpowfLgmqz9wquHQEJlOYMVFAS5ZTZHk56hI_AlnUQlwFkB5DMmjTodePy2I4NfITesWXJ31fyb6MasRSWIRXGuMwNcLKs-eFl/s320/IMG_2992.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358126636958767906" border="0" /></a><br />We are very thankful that Jordyn came through last weeks procedure with no major difficulty. She had three hours work of extensive dental work and was put under general anesthesia for it. I hope none of the children I know ever have to go through that. She was "off" for a few days but today I think she was finally almost back to herself.<br /><br />Before the procedure last week we were lucky to have some great friends come visit us at the beach. Jordyn and Zoe were able to go to camp with our friends, I think they all had an amazing time- I know we did.<br /><br />The summer has been great! The girls are both having fun at camp and having a good time at the beach. I love this time of year, I can finally relax and truly have fun with them!!David and Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080798135755574876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23259526.post-64630321231961482742009-06-30T19:11:00.000-07:002009-06-30T19:21:32.072-07:00Yeah- school's out!!!This is my favorite time of year! School is out and my cuties go to camp for a few hours a day. I can relax, scrapbook and get organized. Right now I'm feeling pretty stressed though. Jordyn is having major dental work done on the 9th and will be having general anesthesia. I feel like I need a valium drip for the next few days. I know I'm suppose to be the strong one and be the rock. I'm a rock when I don't have time to think and fester about all the things that can happen, right now I'm a bowl of mush. She doesn't even know this is going to happen until that day. Everyone please wish me luck and send positive thoughts our way.<br /><br />On another note I don't usually follow all the celebrity news but I have to say I felt quite abit of sadness from Farrah and MJ's passing. You know you had to feel bad about Farrah because MJ stole the thunder. They probably met up in heaven (or wherever you think we go) and Farrah must have been like- really, really you couldn't wait one or two more days could you?!!<br /><br />Let's hope for no rain this weekend!!David and Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080798135755574876noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23259526.post-15591507359676759032009-06-20T19:24:00.000-07:002009-06-20T19:40:43.392-07:00Pump..pump..pump it up!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNrTJ4IhVExTFO9yn8BT6W1-Ks37EFVgHslxydowztb3M0ynzYUUZgmEUS-VnvOOiEasBLKklFys-ovWwQtvrIO9NCiuX3uyyKIY936zDffGnpPSXqnpGAfZ7Bp2aSct0Dv_4o/s1600-h/IMG_2842.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNrTJ4IhVExTFO9yn8BT6W1-Ks37EFVgHslxydowztb3M0ynzYUUZgmEUS-VnvOOiEasBLKklFys-ovWwQtvrIO9NCiuX3uyyKIY936zDffGnpPSXqnpGAfZ7Bp2aSct0Dv_4o/s320/IMG_2842.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349605122847299122" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiygIeilZe1QsOl6g40ZKRvjpPESl4yVUkCbgI0yF8RmSgeiVkhrKDJUWBd81zhW2-zRggwgWCC-kantrSaC1cJ-NXoFyK8IDNU9XAeR-gm8v1WadSNouGD1ECN2qmrF1JHkvMX/s1600-h/IMG_2920.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiygIeilZe1QsOl6g40ZKRvjpPESl4yVUkCbgI0yF8RmSgeiVkhrKDJUWBd81zhW2-zRggwgWCC-kantrSaC1cJ-NXoFyK8IDNU9XAeR-gm8v1WadSNouGD1ECN2qmrF1JHkvMX/s320/IMG_2920.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349605116141696434" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfTYYBtRJhvjmk3ubS5FK17ZfZzhtuN_T6qUzwgrwTTC-7RSp-JMwUuAkmQ9JpJtRh6QNC8mg4FZm5doM8-ShrizTEehSW7jFcaKf6VBGiju2Tx4ilwhHF1MaEJy9VO82b6rFi/s1600-h/IMG_2888.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfTYYBtRJhvjmk3ubS5FK17ZfZzhtuN_T6qUzwgrwTTC-7RSp-JMwUuAkmQ9JpJtRh6QNC8mg4FZm5doM8-ShrizTEehSW7jFcaKf6VBGiju2Tx4ilwhHF1MaEJy9VO82b6rFi/s320/IMG_2888.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349605107962341410" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgl6f6j1yoW_ZJJ7hjUObM7VT-mGJAU1vyy0bztgHjVl9KyBXTiCBRt1y7pYZRCGhf5l_hsfkdHqYwXg6QHVrpWIbiZxApEBav9SO-kzij45sazg67GfaACNGY7m-lF_S2SUPy/s1600-h/IMG_2877.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgl6f6j1yoW_ZJJ7hjUObM7VT-mGJAU1vyy0bztgHjVl9KyBXTiCBRt1y7pYZRCGhf5l_hsfkdHqYwXg6QHVrpWIbiZxApEBav9SO-kzij45sazg67GfaACNGY7m-lF_S2SUPy/s320/IMG_2877.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349605098257821282" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4NZ7hvPsadNkJO3te8OBl3a8NBLHSc17pJD-pT180-tIPNDblB4VrRiwzqwdBi-qdf_LFO-_RR-APEGi0UcXoO3JbeqcQk7nhBeHBq1CDPOFTmN2npBaVMgddc107_gGUPJhi/s1600-h/IMG_2839.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4NZ7hvPsadNkJO3te8OBl3a8NBLHSc17pJD-pT180-tIPNDblB4VrRiwzqwdBi-qdf_LFO-_RR-APEGi0UcXoO3JbeqcQk7nhBeHBq1CDPOFTmN2npBaVMgddc107_gGUPJhi/s320/IMG_2839.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349605093989237698" border="0" /></a><br />We did the party early this year- Jordyn wanted her school friends to come. Definitely my favorite party that we have had. This was the last one though, next year maybe just the girls in her class and a separate one for her close friends.<br /><br />Unfortunately, we also found out this week that Jordyn needs 2 root canals and a whole lot of other dental work. I do not have the thousands of dollars of dollars it is going to cost not only for the dental work but for my poor baby to have general anesthesia. I don't really discuss her issues but there are some and she will have to be under for the work to be completed. Wish me luck going up against the insurance company to cover it. Camp starts in a few days and I think the girls ( at least Zoe) is looking forward to it.<br /><br />Zoe graduated from the 3's and will go into pre-k next year, I can't believe how much this little munchkin has grown. She is so full of happiness and life- I wish I could be that happy all the time . (without adult substances) She is always smiling.David and Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080798135755574876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23259526.post-88319703787742013992009-05-29T19:36:00.000-07:002009-05-29T19:37:10.941-07:00slideshow<p style="visibility:visible;"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-19.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"><param name="movie" value="http://widget-19.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="scale" value="noscale"><param name="salign" value="l"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"> <param name="flashvars" value="cy=ms&il=1&channel=576460752350434329&site=widget-19.slide.com"></object><p style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=576460752350434329&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-19.slide.com/p1/576460752350434329/ms_t003_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=576460752350434329&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-19.slide.com/p2/576460752350434329/ms_t003_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=576460752350434329&map=E" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-19.slide.com/m/576460752350434329/ms_t003_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide9_1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></p></p>David and Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080798135755574876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23259526.post-70276172541448738022009-05-22T19:09:00.000-07:002009-05-22T19:20:52.538-07:00It's been so long...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8BExTzXd6wphTQnxCKZfvKsuuFrXXWpXceGosSyHNEpI3C3oJVI1cgMEJ5Iuyyt8kWNpYSqs4f2oZ0A5Yf7aI5yS0H4FH_V7rYCNOPHXyuTD1Zwt_LQH-iIsKbIHVEpT46S8o/s1600-h/IMG_2762.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8BExTzXd6wphTQnxCKZfvKsuuFrXXWpXceGosSyHNEpI3C3oJVI1cgMEJ5Iuyyt8kWNpYSqs4f2oZ0A5Yf7aI5yS0H4FH_V7rYCNOPHXyuTD1Zwt_LQH-iIsKbIHVEpT46S8o/s320/IMG_2762.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338838614128442162" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-puHP2ZpbgVuw_98gxAt3wQxlEYtiARBARazPy_a66-FQXYP2lCfidVCgdhOber1bo8KGIy5iNd3haNYEf_VWVby4P9EiFlRVXvgjqbeuM6WMLupjRcpFaBERYdmAaTTSY10S/s1600-h/IMG_2789.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-puHP2ZpbgVuw_98gxAt3wQxlEYtiARBARazPy_a66-FQXYP2lCfidVCgdhOber1bo8KGIy5iNd3haNYEf_VWVby4P9EiFlRVXvgjqbeuM6WMLupjRcpFaBERYdmAaTTSY10S/s320/IMG_2789.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338838606546248994" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmLuEeYDI1BFUe6jniTNfwckzaahrhrmA22Yu6KTPeKjgKMxAH2pFcS4BswjRiC7_ZR16O7hRd03goKuVTzHb50iQySGOEqC5BR9WxgEX9BOmldXgi4gaXnWB37VGg07UTr1TW/s1600-h/IMG_2810.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmLuEeYDI1BFUe6jniTNfwckzaahrhrmA22Yu6KTPeKjgKMxAH2pFcS4BswjRiC7_ZR16O7hRd03goKuVTzHb50iQySGOEqC5BR9WxgEX9BOmldXgi4gaXnWB37VGg07UTr1TW/s320/IMG_2810.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338838604443993106" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL3VhoUulEtNChigk4vW0SO7ukSjetbq1fCiBIb0MYntxZrhQDe696sAD8ZqDvGFTGDfCbe_DgSPUMNT1o9nvsQEBfFZOxsdNuCdMB5AIge9ua6SLMglydx1sx_usl8yAdOvD7/s1600-h/IMG_2813.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL3VhoUulEtNChigk4vW0SO7ukSjetbq1fCiBIb0MYntxZrhQDe696sAD8ZqDvGFTGDfCbe_DgSPUMNT1o9nvsQEBfFZOxsdNuCdMB5AIge9ua6SLMglydx1sx_usl8yAdOvD7/s320/IMG_2813.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338838601558031938" border="0" /></a><br />Sorry- life gets in the way a lot these days.

I really do not know where the time has gone. It really seems like it was not that long ago I was on the phone with some great ladies (Michele and Grace) talking about what to pack, what will the babies be like, can I buy another suitcase to put in all the crap I'm going to buy :) I don't know what childbirth is like but I will never forget the moment my girls were put into our arms. Every year we ask Jordyn what she wants to do for family day- this year it was the circus and sushi.David and Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080798135755574876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23259526.post-82372137137254592932009-03-02T14:56:00.000-08:002009-03-02T15:17:41.966-08:00snow day!!!!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhShjc6xbPu5sxBX9DVJXM7VhgGRvvDKnzdXZVU1vUCGJ5TR3qZqaMYNzoti9-Bm7eiNCSIRE7NpsYjwCPOTvnK7dN-4nwTXKQNv604jnHKhC-JY23Yf2wiQI7kTbRnyuTnsAop/s1600-h/IMG_2385.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhShjc6xbPu5sxBX9DVJXM7VhgGRvvDKnzdXZVU1vUCGJ5TR3qZqaMYNzoti9-Bm7eiNCSIRE7NpsYjwCPOTvnK7dN-4nwTXKQNv604jnHKhC-JY23Yf2wiQI7kTbRnyuTnsAop/s320/IMG_2385.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308733357148750178" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfjMtbkQhfbcZ0vritO37bHeMMbFDmQkMDoG0wKci9Ltp53cNhOSIMId4lreXXCQ4qEace51D50cKPKHAzwUQkbEiHKX3DAurf_wJB4w_H2mSJvzJGvxN12ifxYdYORdSJI-kx/s1600-h/IMG_2381.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfjMtbkQhfbcZ0vritO37bHeMMbFDmQkMDoG0wKci9Ltp53cNhOSIMId4lreXXCQ4qEace51D50cKPKHAzwUQkbEiHKX3DAurf_wJB4w_H2mSJvzJGvxN12ifxYdYORdSJI-kx/s320/IMG_2381.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308733350525499570" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsq2XQ41geVcWzVMMDAoLaU-oPNZ7DVBatyGa-wNm_CRYjIqXamjBjc34GdWH9cHJsbXRK2Awo3eWgeSnmTCR2O7cHL33htXiqdi_IWGcoxgV5vLRBFad_mfDTOR100VjQTTaQ/s1600-h/IMG_2379.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsq2XQ41geVcWzVMMDAoLaU-oPNZ7DVBatyGa-wNm_CRYjIqXamjBjc34GdWH9cHJsbXRK2Awo3eWgeSnmTCR2O7cHL33htXiqdi_IWGcoxgV5vLRBFad_mfDTOR100VjQTTaQ/s320/IMG_2379.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308733338605123810" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyR-cu7HJNZVBFy8Jw3eogN2Uf7rUVCy-ziMVXHLr2SxnRGjIacFJ8tITFk56bGzP0_yUCmqev2g_z3Bz3uZFpe0bFpBCkuOj1uSdVW7SN0K4DezFgHvNudb-KORNs_bvSeYhy/s1600-h/IMG_2376.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyR-cu7HJNZVBFy8Jw3eogN2Uf7rUVCy-ziMVXHLr2SxnRGjIacFJ8tITFk56bGzP0_yUCmqev2g_z3Bz3uZFpe0bFpBCkuOj1uSdVW7SN0K4DezFgHvNudb-KORNs_bvSeYhy/s320/IMG_2376.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308733334932923106" border="0" /></a><br />It doesn't happen often that they cancel school here- so we were quite psyched this morning when the announcement came. There was no way I was driving anyway, nor was I putting my child on a bus. I know it's really hard for those bright, intelligent and oh so caring powers that be at the education department to think outside the box and close school because it's not safe. I was till waiting for the announcement that the schools were closed but the teachers had to report because you all know if you work for the board of Ed- that idea is not so far fetched.<br /><br />So anyway we got together with good friends and played in the snow. I of course was freezing before I even got 2 feet from the door.<br /><br />I just want to add, i bought Jordyn bathing suits and spring clothes this weekend. I guess the snow would be my fault!David and Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080798135755574876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23259526.post-58318316627363340562009-02-16T18:15:00.000-08:002009-02-16T18:28:28.066-08:00Museum of Natural History<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDZay0wqwWOrvu-zACik42CNTc3o3Zx7djQB9_WyXKyjL6eXjAq1sw5katHO0Y1fHj71hr9SIwuO-OihPLhswKI9hWONVNVcnz-OfxGDY1bY8BxAEQu61jTQrCceq5b08cGygJ/s1600-h/IMG_2357.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

We had a really nice day and I love that she likes to soak up all the info. We saw the IMAX movie- Dinosaurs Alive, pretty cool. We did a ton of walking and I am so happy she is such a good sport about it. She was even great about the subway ride there and how we had to switch trains a few times. She is definitely my go with the flow girl when it comes to traveling. I look forward to going away with her in the future.David and Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080798135755574876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23259526.post-62595744617031577152009-01-22T17:27:00.000-08:002009-01-22T17:40:51.487-08:00I have been lazy<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3TgffPabx9BkRSrt5UNqDjOoMs1wZ51MEYGUBJQ4UOSxkXxDreJXIm867sqAtcsyhqc4huvgYJ8b0UA70GS0jxqGWmML1aKaqIAxybsu_RS7nBf8_-g11ZSlbLDnGulaL18Vn/s1600-h/IMG_2122.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3TgffPabx9BkRSrt5UNqDjOoMs1wZ51MEYGUBJQ4UOSxkXxDreJXIm867sqAtcsyhqc4huvgYJ8b0UA70GS0jxqGWmML1aKaqIAxybsu_RS7nBf8_-g11ZSlbLDnGulaL18Vn/s320/IMG_2122.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294297883983294178" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIXHfsFG4g0V7Mp7WslmwgfDtSvCXnn3AO2I_PNJ7DkS4IwZy99QEk1zhZio5VrUnMR72bFkqBI8exhhamIKd74NXtE0c_exV89EEdqL8Z-L1kNFic_F7vt9agPlGvuVcN0Dyr/s1600-h/IMG_2043.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIXHfsFG4g0V7Mp7WslmwgfDtSvCXnn3AO2I_PNJ7DkS4IwZy99QEk1zhZio5VrUnMR72bFkqBI8exhhamIKd74NXtE0c_exV89EEdqL8Z-L1kNFic_F7vt9agPlGvuVcN0Dyr/s320/IMG_2043.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294297878281798178" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmUlGH_Ni9fhK8HC8-RFjSQMfIEXLyuzAVbsir0wEp13-DxPrdAzSlSK8O04Bg32Hpx7L760IlCG5pAnF8oQ6xodTUs5SGYkN_TzYeEGRYTi4wPciLfPi2uNtC8wSoET4Yuy-3/s1600-h/IMG_2067.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmUlGH_Ni9fhK8HC8-RFjSQMfIEXLyuzAVbsir0wEp13-DxPrdAzSlSK8O04Bg32Hpx7L760IlCG5pAnF8oQ6xodTUs5SGYkN_TzYeEGRYTi4wPciLfPi2uNtC8wSoET4Yuy-3/s320/IMG_2067.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294297874221179458" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXC6e9_8n5pcfINxWGtZ00f2IKnLnVvs5Jxh-OsU9F4JXpXEw0NDS3qSZEAlgH6WEr-xkzVk8rtulcBsPIRqay1PMEsiZhE2FWxAUeZSBkDHF9mNCFif0ZvFqc1tF9F8qQepfr/s1600-h/IMG_2206.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXC6e9_8n5pcfINxWGtZ00f2IKnLnVvs5Jxh-OsU9F4JXpXEw0NDS3qSZEAlgH6WEr-xkzVk8rtulcBsPIRqay1PMEsiZhE2FWxAUeZSBkDHF9mNCFif0ZvFqc1tF9F8qQepfr/s320/IMG_2206.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294297874207194450" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_iQM4xIH5mt2s1hSpj2SbAmAxqpyqm-Qw0WiZv8aX4uNtTp6eAHSB9pS1gG4WqHvQEBwSb524K_C0UxnX5qyTwCVk24bxxYInT9A0KyBzofyIytyuglBnpOLxi6_qxs2Rxh1k/s1600-h/IMG_2198.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_iQM4xIH5mt2s1hSpj2SbAmAxqpyqm-Qw0WiZv8aX4uNtTp6eAHSB9pS1gG4WqHvQEBwSb524K_C0UxnX5qyTwCVk24bxxYInT9A0KyBzofyIytyuglBnpOLxi6_qxs2Rxh1k/s320/IMG_2198.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294297868571538386" border="0" /></a><br />and very busy- doing the usual work, being with the kids, sleep, etc.. The holidays were great to sum it up- went snow tubing for the first time I loved it and so did Zoe, Jordyn hated it. Her words to me were-" You won't ride a Ferris wheel but you'll do this?!!!!" Jordyn has gotten much better at ice skating and school is keeping her busy. I tried to explain to her how awesome it was about the new president and maybe some day the president could be Chinese. I'm not sure if our girls would be allowed to run for president.( We like to set the bar high in this house :) ) We are getting ready for Chinese New Year and all the fun festivities that go along with it.David and Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080798135755574876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23259526.post-84236299647299205302008-12-18T17:44:00.000-08:002008-12-18T17:54:01.887-08:00Party, Party , Party<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYITP5D94zbE9Ei6oOb1Fxda9QEmZnk8QyWP7QyMeje4QjXrHP0R9JHgobirsPNtbhyphenhyphenXzAQWwVZJGQO6C_-rQCSRZE8eyBvee8RHj2NmekI0LN5p7lupPRDIJZNqQqmfWtHQBQ/s1600-h/IMG_2020.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYITP5D94zbE9Ei6oOb1Fxda9QEmZnk8QyWP7QyMeje4QjXrHP0R9JHgobirsPNtbhyphenhyphenXzAQWwVZJGQO6C_-rQCSRZE8eyBvee8RHj2NmekI0LN5p7lupPRDIJZNqQqmfWtHQBQ/s320/IMG_2020.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281313245168343922" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjin1QMccz0dTUaVg_mX9Qs20eU3HykrXcyjghjS81SsWjcWNxxRpRFvTJowHVODQN_H687cVrwAd96JSxCyv8Xdu9txurNiFk1MmeHRPIR8uk5iijzmJhA4bnRH46AkHaUW9_J/s1600-h/IMG_1976.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjin1QMccz0dTUaVg_mX9Qs20eU3HykrXcyjghjS81SsWjcWNxxRpRFvTJowHVODQN_H687cVrwAd96JSxCyv8Xdu9txurNiFk1MmeHRPIR8uk5iijzmJhA4bnRH46AkHaUW9_J/s320/IMG_1976.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281313239004882706" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVeG59eKOjiw72xYabd7-ac7o_U8Bh0HImAf0OJHQHtDKMDlPmq-Q-VB-hcoeGSr1s09z7wj88v8ocaicBSqo1iaOEEJiBHBaMw6FwEDO6T_Z8g16dUzjvPpqb6_tu2Evd0S2R/s1600-h/IMG_1950.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVeG59eKOjiw72xYabd7-ac7o_U8Bh0HImAf0OJHQHtDKMDlPmq-Q-VB-hcoeGSr1s09z7wj88v8ocaicBSqo1iaOEEJiBHBaMw6FwEDO6T_Z8g16dUzjvPpqb6_tu2Evd0S2R/s320/IMG_1950.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281313232633942018" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAiDG8SaRnkTfZlG_hYOWsEh0IWYWzS9Wue5waVjGkIxgEljeOW62ijOs4mnrkXoyV2wYSWxzBjVQg2N4fzQggHh2oEGnDZRMVYzIwWDSLkAS3jN20zJ5ALH1ttTY2NbvQcZDp/s1600-h/IMG_1922.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAiDG8SaRnkTfZlG_hYOWsEh0IWYWzS9Wue5waVjGkIxgEljeOW62ijOs4mnrkXoyV2wYSWxzBjVQg2N4fzQggHh2oEGnDZRMVYzIwWDSLkAS3jN20zJ5ALH1ttTY2NbvQcZDp/s320/IMG_1922.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281313223174909874" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglmfQKRMnEWsZMOFwCfub7XtqDsiSqSbNbjd2Pml_lw7-qBeUB9QM0_MLakwdvoJ5ldCvwg7IUM268_BL8XkciratkMv0BiFjjxLKQG7bhp-Bj-EqLqv6KjK1jQX49Ucay3Dyp/s1600-h/IMG_1907.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglmfQKRMnEWsZMOFwCfub7XtqDsiSqSbNbjd2Pml_lw7-qBeUB9QM0_MLakwdvoJ5ldCvwg7IUM268_BL8XkciratkMv0BiFjjxLKQG7bhp-Bj-EqLqv6KjK1jQX49Ucay3Dyp/s320/IMG_1907.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281313218715696658" border="0" /></a><br />I love all the holiday parties the kids have- it's so much fun to see them get dressed up. Of course Zoe wants to wear the same dress over and over- so here it is for your viewing pleasure:) The girls are looking forward to the holidays and I can't wait to spend time with them without all the hustle and bustle of everything else. I took the girls to the zoo this past weekend. The zoo used to do something at night but now is going green so it's in the daytime. They had such a great time.

We took the girls on Thanksgiving eve to see the balloons being displayed before the Macy's parade. I was actually supposed to meet up with some friends but it was so crowded we never were even able to see each other. Dave was really happy to be there with all the people and a screaming 3 year old- he couldn't have been anymore thrilled:) The girls did like to see the parade the next day on tv with all the balloons they saw. Needless to say I won't be taking them again until they are teens. All here is good, Thanksgiving is always a fun time of year for me, I get to see a lot of old friends and see how well we are aging. It's amazing I look like crap but feel like I'm in High school.David and Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080798135755574876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23259526.post-22239515587429567122008-11-17T18:40:00.000-08:002008-11-17T18:52:31.877-08:00I know it has been a looong time!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic-tXS5CKPdduBn-1ZAbGWuj9b9xi9kZwrxuCCZfBu4nDMi5_N-wYiYBa2qjaItj1uTxO8j7GU25NQI8XvubKzROaVjrka2nYegOCm9bPeSd-lWz-H-2TxhYYHOqni1w80piSS/s1600-h/IMG_1812.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic-tXS5CKPdduBn-1ZAbGWuj9b9xi9kZwrxuCCZfBu4nDMi5_N-wYiYBa2qjaItj1uTxO8j7GU25NQI8XvubKzROaVjrka2nYegOCm9bPeSd-lWz-H-2TxhYYHOqni1w80piSS/s320/IMG_1812.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269824897386871154" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0VT_taec6c5KLhLAYptTEo0IAj_avIwHnukurxNnIFY2_txVRNXkNbDIB_LUg1Nbnv2xOT1U1pcR7jA1FJtzShKP18lLBKIWNfypuYAb_L2JGhRK71PRa_6kpA8Mnxply0f92/s1600-h/IMG_1720.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0VT_taec6c5KLhLAYptTEo0IAj_avIwHnukurxNnIFY2_txVRNXkNbDIB_LUg1Nbnv2xOT1U1pcR7jA1FJtzShKP18lLBKIWNfypuYAb_L2JGhRK71PRa_6kpA8Mnxply0f92/s320/IMG_1720.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269824885183036274" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5ZICj8CRNka-jXJj2vrn_q7gHygPH0gXGctFv6VOmPCa-mJONOdgR80sLUSXRgWE9VlWow-krQopAPr1MWj1-zr7tH1VPxCFR0S9uGKR7huRtRvi7PJnamaO985iu6TosE9fs/s1600-h/IMG_1620.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5ZICj8CRNka-jXJj2vrn_q7gHygPH0gXGctFv6VOmPCa-mJONOdgR80sLUSXRgWE9VlWow-krQopAPr1MWj1-zr7tH1VPxCFR0S9uGKR7huRtRvi7PJnamaO985iu6TosE9fs/s320/IMG_1620.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269824878053404898" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinkGIyT9cdz4kMQ9267OXaaUdYaOKwfJFIsQuIuTaGmjqmlIxJQ1wUGNi8qRUS3glkMGBe6lN4bL6HDhdqaxkvNCZweJ76XVXtMXJTw8DKdiwdnZbtlQILmam821bwR7y_p5qD/s1600-h/IMG_1704.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinkGIyT9cdz4kMQ9267OXaaUdYaOKwfJFIsQuIuTaGmjqmlIxJQ1wUGNi8qRUS3glkMGBe6lN4bL6HDhdqaxkvNCZweJ76XVXtMXJTw8DKdiwdnZbtlQILmam821bwR7y_p5qD/s320/IMG_1704.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269824870529991874" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxMftcYAp3L4jtrom7S3k6DEAJES_r982bdMgK5xiZ_nhh6yEjGOopjyr8U3UHZpFYEEVBkbuxEQHLrtJiyuJcPn8s9uhqYHUNzfmR2eHcuI20ZPyEju_qFOEr7KOQvcsPyKtx/s1600-h/IMG_1665.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxMftcYAp3L4jtrom7S3k6DEAJES_r982bdMgK5xiZ_nhh6yEjGOopjyr8U3UHZpFYEEVBkbuxEQHLrtJiyuJcPn8s9uhqYHUNzfmR2eHcuI20ZPyEju_qFOEr7KOQvcsPyKtx/s320/IMG_1665.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269824865384384130" border="0" /></a><br />I have been busy and somewhat lazy! The girls are doing great- I know I shouldn't brag, but I have to just a little. Jordyn is doing so well in school I could cry. She is with an amazing teacher who is starting to get her out of her shell and into a comfort zone. There are only 15 children in the class, so that is huge for Jordyn. Last year at this time the teacher reported she would not even speak to her. ( I didn't really like the teacher and could not blame Jordyn :)<br /><br />Zoe is doing nicely and loves her teachers. They do a lot of great stuff at her school as well. All she wants to do is dress up like a ballerina.<br />Here are some pics so I can catch up!!David and Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080798135755574876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23259526.post-78342516741443710862008-10-07T16:51:00.000-07:002008-10-07T17:16:01.591-07:00Mohonk<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhapO09RjA0aUxiyR7NQQkpZwzYilmadGIC9C4L9P2mOcWaJlzRdTrJvzQ37pHbPo_0tY_NlWIdnpclGhrW6s_-W0S4zYQrDeFwS6lX851e2w-d0jshwAm_pv_cUb1Md8BU7Vqq/s1600-h/IMG_1328.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhapO09RjA0aUxiyR7NQQkpZwzYilmadGIC9C4L9P2mOcWaJlzRdTrJvzQ37pHbPo_0tY_NlWIdnpclGhrW6s_-W0S4zYQrDeFwS6lX851e2w-d0jshwAm_pv_cUb1Md8BU7Vqq/s320/IMG_1328.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254566537235386146" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQo3rPu9lD6ip4asgvS6d073y2udEwwcYsKIFkziUKK8I2et0z497QdBbKQfAAKIJyKk2aBO0cbyKO0JTUgee6_nx8rXkmMBo0GEBFV_6iR-lCOD8JjQBL6UzBWPN5pF8hCKve/s1600-h/IMG_1335.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQo3rPu9lD6ip4asgvS6d073y2udEwwcYsKIFkziUKK8I2et0z497QdBbKQfAAKIJyKk2aBO0cbyKO0JTUgee6_nx8rXkmMBo0GEBFV_6iR-lCOD8JjQBL6UzBWPN5pF8hCKve/s320/IMG_1335.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254566538575573346" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfrv6w86822sdCP7q1FZP_tAQ8ZbEqwylMsU4VCbvtr1wB9vH_D7uAACc1EhxYk2zaMXCdUjmb5z4GnrlEQZe12g2oTcLWbkthDE-zCyeyMdpazHh-VhkQdJhKwWCQYMn-BEmQ/s1600-h/IMG_1365.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfrv6w86822sdCP7q1FZP_tAQ8ZbEqwylMsU4VCbvtr1wB9vH_D7uAACc1EhxYk2zaMXCdUjmb5z4GnrlEQZe12g2oTcLWbkthDE-zCyeyMdpazHh-VhkQdJhKwWCQYMn-BEmQ/s320/IMG_1365.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254566544128029762" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq5maIJSCEm32xUvCIGIgBFGcBOxnQyepED2d6FiyN4LjJNw1Yw18ifK205x3M-Ilbcsx1P04ucyFr78-STFWGYTz6js1hp5hi2nIBy5c9tDMJNNx2XB6DtU8y0cuWQC1Lue24/s1600-h/IMG_1368.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq5maIJSCEm32xUvCIGIgBFGcBOxnQyepED2d6FiyN4LjJNw1Yw18ifK205x3M-Ilbcsx1P04ucyFr78-STFWGYTz6js1hp5hi2nIBy5c9tDMJNNx2XB6DtU8y0cuWQC1Lue24/s320/IMG_1368.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254566547856448194" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3kYeid0McK-bb7_VoXvQVYmjatG5mjmHjLpPNd_dkAgbxsFR5qOY-lvbAHZ4edChEmzPfeeBCsBcP7YxHlEYVBxCw2DX1qreGjfKG1VSKFQOxBlGkR5FlENlxwdEO01W22RCo/s1600-h/IMG_1437.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3kYeid0McK-bb7_VoXvQVYmjatG5mjmHjLpPNd_dkAgbxsFR5qOY-lvbAHZ4edChEmzPfeeBCsBcP7YxHlEYVBxCw2DX1qreGjfKG1VSKFQOxBlGkR5FlENlxwdEO01W22RCo/s320/IMG_1437.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254566553309966514" border="0" /></a><br />Every year we go up to Mohonk Mountainhouse. This year we went with Amy, Darrin and Raenen. The girls had a blast even though Zoe slept most of the afternoon. I think this is one of the presttiest places. I love the lake and unfortunately, we were unable to go up the mountian but I promised Jordyn defiantely next year. She was disappointed, apparently she has not realized that her Mom is not the most physically fit person. That was not the reason we didn't go- between Zoe napping and the stroller it just wasn't going to work out. They have a brand new spa up there I have yet to check out but hopefully will get a chance to in the future. Then Jordyn can see what a lazy shit her Mom really is :)David and Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080798135755574876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23259526.post-50120506515788948642008-09-23T15:43:00.000-07:002008-09-23T16:36:48.852-07:00County Fair<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioFOYO0Q3h3wFhur-WagsGGgSUfKHe1SLJvQiKAZnzRVCC86mFFgPy4jprp7h0zp6mvMd0P3DEPQOOBYrrcmQU212TCLRRjLXQ0LFvObBxaeAIPTSwPILmwaYcSPVGWKaL0mHX/s1600-h/IMG_1280.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioFOYO0Q3h3wFhur-WagsGGgSUfKHe1SLJvQiKAZnzRVCC86mFFgPy4jprp7h0zp6mvMd0P3DEPQOOBYrrcmQU212TCLRRjLXQ0LFvObBxaeAIPTSwPILmwaYcSPVGWKaL0mHX/s320/IMG_1280.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249362585638654162" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDPhDHovsHu6VR96GkV5id-N2Xk3IjFmSDXcgK0te51U1Vw7suBvZzXrh596fIpEfg3s3Gk37AKcewYmbSFJjfcXP7iAupaloB7RwY4sTEwwNw_iVODY16wJVXcxDJ9YBRLYpQ/s1600-h/IMG_1289.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDPhDHovsHu6VR96GkV5id-N2Xk3IjFmSDXcgK0te51U1Vw7suBvZzXrh596fIpEfg3s3Gk37AKcewYmbSFJjfcXP7iAupaloB7RwY4sTEwwNw_iVODY16wJVXcxDJ9YBRLYpQ/s320/IMG_1289.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249362598157702338" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-aNsX0Ltyz_vcOF5WNt7X3CFVWmkOSHBeogFo1oSbeAYma3_NEF_82PbnJ-DYKgxM-XTL8y9LcWKZgDQNr9rjIYnY9OxKTSqp7F6EVl2xeZIfnG8hIL04InPXQuFwQyjablQL/s1600-h/IMG_1285.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-aNsX0Ltyz_vcOF5WNt7X3CFVWmkOSHBeogFo1oSbeAYma3_NEF_82PbnJ-DYKgxM-XTL8y9LcWKZgDQNr9rjIYnY9OxKTSqp7F6EVl2xeZIfnG8hIL04InPXQuFwQyjablQL/s320/IMG_1285.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249362607617870930" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg46buLzH_ibRKUvjAP5hb0nM-Mc6aPpeDdHqbP2T495ZvSll1_EH74-ka9mODfUWGcB0As4NHaVb0FkHcLgO1naNKaWbs_D5Qon_6Hdf5BYMGVM4YnP88W_xBUP0-kZG-3dHGs/s1600-h/IMG_1306.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg46buLzH_ibRKUvjAP5hb0nM-Mc6aPpeDdHqbP2T495ZvSll1_EH74-ka9mODfUWGcB0As4NHaVb0FkHcLgO1naNKaWbs_D5Qon_6Hdf5BYMGVM4YnP88W_xBUP0-kZG-3dHGs/s320/IMG_1306.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249362610459719922" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR0TmoiYa51Nej68f4qJUwd-B6oR7d1KxSjPRLKXYdDhZROiM9np5kuExlBRFrZVpYkXx7Cy04eL24n7MMwvWySWYpoKvEVXnI-adI-p9R13vEBZyDQGaBbidmrYc9hR4zn729/s1600-h/IMG_1298.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR0TmoiYa51Nej68f4qJUwd-B6oR7d1KxSjPRLKXYdDhZROiM9np5kuExlBRFrZVpYkXx7Cy04eL24n7MMwvWySWYpoKvEVXnI-adI-p9R13vEBZyDQGaBbidmrYc9hR4zn729/s320/IMG_1298.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249362616601980514" border="0" /></a><br />Every Fall they have a county fair here ( in the City).

All the girls had a blast even though it was insanely hot. I really feel like we have been a family for much longer than 2 years. Another highlight of the week for us has also been that Zoe is toilet trained. They told me at school to put her in underwear and so far so good! Although, I do find it easier to just put on a pull up. I'm not looking forward to long car rides or being out in public looking for bathrooms.David and Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080798135755574876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23259526.post-33682775311362690452008-09-12T17:04:00.000-07:002008-09-12T17:22:45.418-07:002 Amazing Years<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsy07blTsqblneS6-y6W-UKp8vtw_so-CPF2K4VCogKYHe2CbA4eaKoY_s6kWPKUGBH4zsT3BVI-3iKmEdLUE-rsCUvPCy06gWfzGowhE4Fsah5RYGx5IefxUboXy4zEXKMoba/s1600-h/Schwartz_02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsy07blTsqblneS6-y6W-UKp8vtw_so-CPF2K4VCogKYHe2CbA4eaKoY_s6kWPKUGBH4zsT3BVI-3iKmEdLUE-rsCUvPCy06gWfzGowhE4Fsah5RYGx5IefxUboXy4zEXKMoba/s320/Schwartz_02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245294658891911618" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9aYXXCR4Ly5P0AC3_jcut-P6Z8iaKjgAv6qTYuIIBkv1Qo2egIhSuVHTq7PbBKHLjKgRgpU6-hSKMvf33_rWuA6QQ_bQndlZXIiLyzEFxLBTd78Gt_Z1FkLduDpLvzhlxdnCg/s1600-h/IMG_1712.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9aYXXCR4Ly5P0AC3_jcut-P6Z8iaKjgAv6qTYuIIBkv1Qo2egIhSuVHTq7PbBKHLjKgRgpU6-hSKMvf33_rWuA6QQ_bQndlZXIiLyzEFxLBTd78Gt_Z1FkLduDpLvzhlxdnCg/s320/IMG_1712.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245294661070753570" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHuhhseMfBOMYWQ36c6djdw2pIDoJnkjcYV8E7AFwgxaGN919SJffQoHPwzT3eTLw6Y7kQ686-GvTP2GQRV_2Y13OYa7411lrWTY5pSDccCJAyT5ZNoFgsiwgSIFRUT65E0owH/s1600-h/IMG_1716.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHuhhseMfBOMYWQ36c6djdw2pIDoJnkjcYV8E7AFwgxaGN919SJffQoHPwzT3eTLw6Y7kQ686-GvTP2GQRV_2Y13OYa7411lrWTY5pSDccCJAyT5ZNoFgsiwgSIFRUT65E0owH/s320/IMG_1716.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245294669001361186" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigYmRSVukK8-4vwTyZIvXjZkFcdiBbOz_oQS7S24n7xbQknLJ2X853feq3hJ-ZC5Y9wjsj9eDbjQqkY3RErwXbb0G6kIm6zr_Om9WR2lRGXIewJ3hgmZ0geqpv_jWxu-BLOpD9/s1600-h/IMG_1260.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigYmRSVukK8-4vwTyZIvXjZkFcdiBbOz_oQS7S24n7xbQknLJ2X853feq3hJ-ZC5Y9wjsj9eDbjQqkY3RErwXbb0G6kIm6zr_Om9WR2lRGXIewJ3hgmZ0geqpv_jWxu-BLOpD9/s320/IMG_1260.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245294670071529890" border="0" /></a><br />It really does not seem like 2 years ago we were so lucky to have Zoe become an addition to our family. I can remember it so vividly. We went into the government building in Nanchang. Jordyn was so excited ( just like we were) to meet her new sister. The referral picture actually showed a baby with hair and pale. Well- I video taped the wrong child- thinking oh, she's so quiet and so sweet, aren't we lucky? Imagine our surprise when we were handed a screaming, shaved very dark baby. We were like- no, no the quiet one- over there. Zoe was crying and then all hell broke lose when Jordyn gave her the toy she picked out and it was thrown to the ground. Jordyn started crying and we went back as the happy family to our hotel room. Two years later, Zoe now cries when Jordyn has to leave for school in the morning. If there is a spat between the two of them and Jordyn gets disciplined, I hear, "Why are you bothering my sister?" I hope this keeps up until they're older- so Zoe can defend her sister. Zoe is so full of life and loves everything from school to her new pet fish. She gets so excited about everything. There are always cheers for something in our house weather it's Dora or some type of snack. We are so lucky to have this adorable, spirited child in our family. Here are some then and now pictures.David and Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080798135755574876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23259526.post-9679095394381142422008-09-07T18:30:00.000-07:002008-09-07T18:35:40.171-07:00First days of school and our new addition<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGNU_qg2sYuYyyJxDVUzdgm8ROvDjUrC-vnOx-kyQ9AHg4BBRizQy7MurrHSRL0AmzibmyjEKAW4UwC6QO8S1j5tddUrQSmYDbmU2dzVARX-Tn42eFJbi4ykkwdi_CjWKc_Plz/s1600-h/IMG_1239.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGNU_qg2sYuYyyJxDVUzdgm8ROvDjUrC-vnOx-kyQ9AHg4BBRizQy7MurrHSRL0AmzibmyjEKAW4UwC6QO8S1j5tddUrQSmYDbmU2dzVARX-Tn42eFJbi4ykkwdi_CjWKc_Plz/s320/IMG_1239.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243458085172456242" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-8EfiB1OEUxptxt8JRdK3BPq2NKbRL2M_ERE9F5CK2JZyyqgdBizr9IoeIydGcql-TbE8O7Nq1Z0EbgsX_-3PyfLBln3UHpFD2svdUCnyfqmfSNWBufxtRvk0KG2W7IfzQ8jl/s1600-h/IMG_1255.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-8EfiB1OEUxptxt8JRdK3BPq2NKbRL2M_ERE9F5CK2JZyyqgdBizr9IoeIydGcql-TbE8O7Nq1Z0EbgsX_-3PyfLBln3UHpFD2svdUCnyfqmfSNWBufxtRvk0KG2W7IfzQ8jl/s320/IMG_1255.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243458086171374866" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwr09CSbrm5uoadNz0a4uSr_EVi_9VFFN4eU3QSlofOR6VYQcrw3d5xkQrR6Ev5PuQRjz3W_LrCwuuRegcFuBVWTXv7_kPFY-elI4wdbCjOE2I4uBW4KTE-DHbzMwhsaEyvpGr/s1600-h/IMG_1254.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwr09CSbrm5uoadNz0a4uSr_EVi_9VFFN4eU3QSlofOR6VYQcrw3d5xkQrR6Ev5PuQRjz3W_LrCwuuRegcFuBVWTXv7_kPFY-elI4wdbCjOE2I4uBW4KTE-DHbzMwhsaEyvpGr/s320/IMG_1254.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243458090160642450" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR0eDHn0Tofam60trD3lv0OLrC6PJUaj0Utor9IjHfJN-uXv0Faon4Ul7Q_aZWTN7FeYLqiewyA6tgKyFlPO4ZZfNg0nNUGEWYJC0GJwek5H6uApyVPOU5Vk1YlyqcxZ_dPNgS/s1600-h/IMG_1257.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR0eDHn0Tofam60trD3lv0OLrC6PJUaj0Utor9IjHfJN-uXv0Faon4Ul7Q_aZWTN7FeYLqiewyA6tgKyFlPO4ZZfNg0nNUGEWYJC0GJwek5H6uApyVPOU5Vk1YlyqcxZ_dPNgS/s320/IMG_1257.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243458096682310386" border="0" /></a><br />The first week has been great!

A few of my friends and I were relaxing with mimosas on the sand. ( I know- very responsible mother) Jordyn had gone to the bathroom and was carried back screaming and blood covering her mouth. Dave and I knew it was her tooth- so we didn't panic. Apparently, when she came out of the bathroom with a water bottle in her mouth a little boy ran into her ( by accident).She was a great sport about it and as soon as we cleaned her up she went out to run in some of the races they do at the club. Here are some new pictures of my cute, toothless little girl!!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuQvoaL7kcuHpVzFE5vf2tNWb2yx0ZcRYLg9P4UQaIicD50FGc2wBKVaR62Zju4RFA9YJg9lPHq0kor4PQoAtBPOAtiJbqgqxxkiLr4dO0hS8juKg4FQ0EGvYzTrNIcwGHESeo/s1600-h/IMG_1209.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuQvoaL7kcuHpVzFE5vf2tNWb2yx0ZcRYLg9P4UQaIicD50FGc2wBKVaR62Zju4RFA9YJg9lPHq0kor4PQoAtBPOAtiJbqgqxxkiLr4dO0hS8juKg4FQ0EGvYzTrNIcwGHESeo/s320/IMG_1209.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239201429894131218" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqNm75idFFfTnhr3s0V8sJrC1PftVfjP_eTvnYT-9y8Fu8nw7nKZUHymGa2XSSWMp1G6dydSQ6GDTE0XKBIeZLro3JPM9HVpJs4QaC-fJLeG0yjPXNQJ20aw7fAhN_JpL8AwCw/s1600-h/IMG_1210.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqNm75idFFfTnhr3s0V8sJrC1PftVfjP_eTvnYT-9y8Fu8nw7nKZUHymGa2XSSWMp1G6dydSQ6GDTE0XKBIeZLro3JPM9HVpJs4QaC-fJLeG0yjPXNQJ20aw7fAhN_JpL8AwCw/s320/IMG_1210.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239201445493287746" border="0" /></a>David and Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080798135755574876noreply@blogger.com0
