Trick or Treat

Oh what an adorable little tiger! I love to chew of candy (with the wrappers on) and play with my pumpkin. I have been working on my growl as well.

New things

I there life outside of grading?!

So school is in full swing and so is our busy lives. Mark is coaching again and I have the biggest classes that I have ever had so far. I figure I have around 115 students. And many of you may think, that is not bad but for a small school it is a bit crazy. 50 of those students are in Geometry (2 sections only). So needless to say that blogging has been pushed to the back burner in light of a tremendous amount of schoolwork and an absence of Mark to help much with Jordan! He is wonderful when he is home though! So some quick pics. We attended the KSU v UCLA game last weekend and it was great. Jordan pretty much slept through the entire ordeal. I'm guessing someday he'll be more excited about it! At is 6 month check up he was 19 lb 9 oz and 27 inches tall. Our growing boy!

5 months old

So Jordan was five months on the first. To celebrate, we cut his hair! I didn't want to but after everyone told me I should or give him earrings, I figured it was time! Mark took pictures to memorialize the moment in case I cut off the curls. Well, for all of us that love the curl, it is as curly and red as ever!

Birthday Fun

So for my birthday, we had Sandy, Andy, Maria, Chris, and Liz over for breakfast. Sandy and Andy brought birthday decor. I should say the decor was to wear. It was very festive. We are saving it all for Sandy's birthday. Jordan was thrilled to be wearing his decorations!
Sandy also discovered that Jordan had armpits. She thought they were so adorable and had to have a picture. She loves to play with Jordan by throwing his hands in the air so I'm curious they weren't discovered before.

Mammoth Cave National Park

On our way to Nashville, we stopped at Mammoth Cave National Park and went on a short tour. Actually it was the tour for old people or people with young children. We figured we qualified not knowing how Jordan would handle a cave and also not having much time. We toured the frozen Niagra. It was a rock formation that looked like a waterfall. We were very impressed with the park. There are over 400 miles of caves there and it is the longest cave in the world. It was a great mid-drive stop to get Jordan out of the carseat!
There were a couple places where you had to duck and try not to touch the cave. Easier said than done.

Home Sweet Home

Well we are finally home from our long vacation. We have been to West Virginia and then on to Nashville for National FBLA and then on home. After 2 weeks of being gone, we are all ready to be home. We did enjoy the time with the family in WV. Grandma and Grandpa enjoyed meeting Jordan. Jordan did get to try cereal for the first time as well and he did really well and seemed to enjoy it! He traveled very well and there will be more pictures to follow.
