Just another day in paradise. . .

Ok, maybe not paradise, but when I see my girls running around giggling and playing, running to see who can smother me with the most kisses, for a moment I forget where I am and just embrace the moment. We did have a great day. We went into town today to the aquarium. We have no idea how blessed we are. You just have no idea! It actually had been renovated since last time and I don't think I wias very sad for any of the animals this time.

Jordan is changing so much everyday. She is relaxing for the most part, but when we get in a car you can see her frown and get worried. After our outing to the aquarium we went to the toy store and grocery store. Everything is so expensive. Groceries that we pay $100.00 dollars for I bet we pay about 45.00 for. It is sad. With their income so low I don't know how they do it. Anyway the grocery store was an absolute thrill for my little Jordan. I didn't know anyone got so thrilled at a grocery store. It was so cute. We have taught her to clap when things are good or exciting, and we would put something in the basket that looked good to her and she would just start clapping. It was so cute. Tonight she started to sing her abc's a little better, and she now knows all of our names including hers. She loves the fact that she can call mamma and I come running or at least give her eye contact. She thinks that is really fun. She rarely crys but when she does it is heartbreaking. It is hard to describe, but she just looks so sad.

Tonight we started a new bedtime ritual that may actually break my back. I have been rocking Jordan (standing up kind of swinging). The first night I put her in bed I kissed her and said goodnight. Turned around and turned back to see her rocking herself back and forth. That was a heartbreaker. I picked her up and since that night I just hold her and rock her until she is asleep. Well tonight Jillian informed me that she needs rocking too. Did I mention I am a morning person. When it is finally time to go to bed I am all about goodnight and I am headed to my bed. Anyway while we are in paradise I guess I will rock them both.

We so appreciate all of the prayers and feel them everyday. I know that only God could make this be such a sweet time!
