Jordan's new glasses

Grandpa Tom (my dad) with the kids.


My dad had his glasses sitting on top of his head, so Jordan thought he'd do the same. Too cute!

Mike accidentally broke his glasses, so he taped them back together and gave them to Jordan to play with. Jordan loves to wear them around the house. It's hilarious!

1 month old

It's so hard to believe Iris is over a month old already! She has changed so much since the first week she was home. She's now awake almost the entire day...this girl rarely sleeps! Iris is quite the eater, as you can tell from the pictures:) She's eating every 2 hours, sometimes sooner. She reminds me of Jordan at this age. He was always a big eater as well and put on baby chub very quickly! Iris is definitely fussier than Jordan was though. Unless she's held every second that she's awake, she is not a happy camper! And even when she's held, she fusses a lot from what I think is gas. I'm sure it's also due to the fact that she has a bowel movement only once every 4 or 5 days. Last night Mike ran to Meijer to get some Karo Syrup, which is what the doctor recommended I try giving her. I put a little in a bottle mixed with breastmilk, but she hardly drank any of the bottle. She was so uncomfortable last night. We felt so bad for her! :( That's the update with Iris. We sure are loving her to pieces. She's just a little doll!

Go Blue!

Jordan loves Michigan football. He shouts "Go Blue!" just about every day and he loves to wear his jersey on game days. He calls it his "go blue shirt." He also loves to play with his football!

Grandma Visits!

My mom was home from Florida all last week. It was great to see her. Of course she spoiled the kids with lots of neat Disney things! Jordan had a lot of fun with "Nema," which is what he calls her:) They carved a Micky Mouse pumpkin, read books, and colored on his new chalkboard. Thanks Mom for the visit and thanks for the fun toys! We love you!

Jordan's 1st trip to the ER

Last night was the scariest night I've had as a mom. Mike and Jordan were working on his train set at the dining room table. Jordan was on his knees on the chair when he slipped, hitting his chin hard on the table. When Mike picked him up, he noticed his bottom teeth had gone completely through the skin under his bottom lip. I panicked for a few seconds, but immediately started praying for God to take away his pain. Mike did an amazing job of comforting Jordan while I drove to the hospital. Jordan was so strong and didn't seem to be in too much pain. God is so faithful!! Jordan ended up having the wound glued shut instead of stitches. Another praise! I can't imagine my little guy having to go through the trauma of getting stitches on his face. This morning he seems to be doing well. He's running around the house like a wild man as if nothing ever happened. That was quite an experience for all of us last night, but I'm so thankful Jordan is okay!
