Jordan Family News Update

Dear friends,

I know, I know - it's been a long time since I've written an update on how our family is doing! It's amazing how quickly the first two months of 2009 flew by... and hard to believe that we're in March. So here are a few notes on some of our latest happenings, with pictures to help me tell the tale!

#1 - Our family spent the day with Liza's sister Heather's family at the Winterfest on Louis Riel Day at the Sungrow Centre. Thankfully, it wasn't anywhere near as cold this year as it was last year! Although there weren't a lot of different activities going on, the kids did get a chance to go skating, and we went on a sleigh ride too.

#2 - Where's Waldo? Remember that old kids book where you had to find Waldo in the midst of the picture with a million other people? Well, Waldo's not on the sleigh ride, nor are there a million people - but how many Jordan kids can you find on the sleigh?

#3 - February 22nd - Tori's eleventh birthday. We celebrated her party at Grandma's house in Winnipeg, with aunts and uncles and cousins (oh my!). Most of her presents were clothes for her Build-a-Bear dog, Buddy, and arts and crafts supplies. On the following Friday night, Tori had a friends' birthday party with six friends from school and church who came over for ice cream sundaes, presents, Rock Band, High School Musical 3, a sleepover, and a pancake breakfast in the morning - courtesy of dad of course!

#4 - Goodbye, Jack Bauer! This past week, we said goodbye to Cooper's puppy, Jack. We got Jack back at the end of the summer last year, but we realized that we weren't a two-dog family, so Jack is no longer with us, and Cooper's gone back to being an 'only-dog'. We are happy though that we were able to find a good home for Jack with a family from our church, where he will be loved and cared for!

Well, that's just a little update, but I'll post some more photos on facebook, too... check them out!
