The Jordans- Cherish, Sean, Autumn and Emelia

Like most women, most moms, I often find my brain going in a million different directions with what needs to be done, what should be done, what can I do to get "it" done, when can it be done and it goes on and on and on. I find myself worrying over that which I cannot control. For example, when will we get orders? Where will we get orders? Will the Army dismantle 3rd brigade, booting us out of Ft Benning? Why am I worried about this? Whether 3rd Brigade comes or goes, we can come down on orders at anytime and no matter WHERE we get orders to, we WILL move. How will the girls handle moving? Won't it be sad when we move away from Grandma and Grandpa? Most recently troubling my heart and my brain is Millie's birthday party. Millie has talked to me multiple times about not having "Millie sized friends," as she says. It troubles me very much. I think about it often. Despite my efforts, we are still struggling in the friend department. I mean we al...

As much as I loved Disney, I've been dragging my feet on posting about it. I guess partly because it seems like such a daunting task. We spent 8 days there and got over 300 pictures (probably more when you add in cell phones). I'm going to break it down day by day to make it easier on myself and in turn, hopefully easier for you. I'm not going to post all the pictures or write every day all at once, just when the spirit moves me. The photos I use for for my blog I plan to make into a book for the girls as keepsakes. I suppose I should make an extra one for Sean and I. Day one. Driving day. I think we left around 8 am. We had to make several pit stops, one of them the bank. Autumn had a check to cash. Millie just had a silly face. Random Roww sighting. I'm sorry, but Millie's face just really cracks me up here. Pretty. We arrived Downtown Disney around 3 pm. We wanted to do some shopping at the world of Disney, but they didn't have w...

"She is my best friend." Autumn Jordan- 5 years old. She is so much more than that. She is the reason you are here, that you exist at all. She is your great grandmother. Great does not even begin to encompass all that she is. She is the love that brought ten children into the world, one of them your grandpa. She is the steel that whispers prayers in the night for your dad, and other service members dating back to World War II, to be safe and return home. She set the course to pave the way for young girls, just like you, to dream big and not only believe that your goals are attainable, but to reach them. She is the laughter when you are down. She is the example of strength and character. If you ever lose your way, she is the compass. She is Edna Jordan.

As it turns out, yes it does! It is hard to find the time to get on here lately. With Sean home on leave and all the exploits we are always off busy with. Believe it or not, I do have some Disney stuff to post, but it takes SO long to sift through those photos that I will have to try and work on it next week when Sean gets back to work and the girls are at school. I do have the pictures mostly compiled in one place though. I have a sneak peek and will post two photos I have not posted anywhere else. Since coming home from Disney, we are failing trying to get back on schedule. I guess that just is not going to happen until next week. Read from that what you will! We decided late this evening to go down to the lake in our neighborhood and do some: Fishin. Doesn't every little princess fish in her minnie mouse dress? Crazy hair. Doesn't it look like she really knows what she is doing? Silly Millie. It is hard to make this girl wear her glasses after nap ...
