Five years ago, Jamie & my life changed forever with the birth of Jordan Lily. She was born at 5:33pm, 8 days past due. She was a beautiful baby and sweet from the start. We fell deeply in love with her.
Today, Jordan is a loving, bright girl who loves all things pink and princess. This past year she taught herself to read and is reading great. She also loves to do math problems and is basically better at math than her mom. Her love for art continues and she has been doing some really great projects at school this year. Some of her artwork will be for sale at a local art gallery Christmas show, even. Jordan has been increasingly dedicated to her study of ballet. She loves her teacher, Ms. Jackie, and she is often found practicing her poses and moves. Other favorite activities are playing with her Webkins, pretending to be a princess or ballerina, and dressing up. She's very girly, and prefers to wear skirts and dresses (so unlike her mom). She loves to tell us all about her day, her ideas, her thoughts. She's such an extrovert!
People often tell us about how sweet and kind Jordan is. She's very thoughtful toward her little siblings and is great at playing with them. She is such a helper to her mama. She has several friends and I've noticed that she goes out of her way to make sure that everyone feels included. She has a compassionate heart. She already expresses a love for God that is genuine and alive for her. It's really amazing.
We're still so in love with this little person. She's a delight to us...and hopefully to you, too.

Stella's favorite stocking stuffer was some almonds. She kept telling Jamie "Daddy, don't put my almonds away, ok?!"
Big girl panties to try to convince Stella she really wants to be potty trained!
