He was home for a couple of weeks...right?

At least I think so. It went by so fast! Duane is off to China again already. This trip is longer than the last one, but it should be the final trip this year. I will be so excited when he gets home and life can return to normal (well, at least our version of normal). Actually, I don't even think I know what that is lately. Between Duane being gone, Jordan walking, and summer trips I am all out of whack. We have sure had a lot of fun though. We tried to fit in a lot of fun things while Duane was home, like going to the Zoo, and most recently our weekend trip to Denver to visit Nate, Jo, and Riley. We had such a great time! I'll get some pictures posted this weekend I promise. Riley is so funny with Jordan and he thinks she is great.

Unfortunately Duane is going to miss a few things while he's gone this time, like the State Fair, the RV Show, and the season premier of his favorite TV show Heroes. (Thank goodness for DVR's) But unless Jo goes into early labor and I head back to Denver he won't miss any trips so that's good. I'll still be looking for things to do to make the time go by faster, so if you have any ideas, let me know. Maybe I will actually get around to some of those home projects I had planned.

As for Jordan news - he had his 18 month Dr. appt last week and he is getting so big! He is now 33 1/2 inches tall, which is 2 1/2 inches taller than at his last appt. I new he had been through a growth spurt in the last couple of months, but wow! No wonder nothing is safe in the house anymore - he can reach everything! He is also getting to be more and more of a daredevil. He can do pretty good sommersaults and is climbing on everthing. I am thinking of taking him to the toddler class at Flips gymnastics to see if he likes it. If so, it might just be a good way he can perfect his "stunts" while being supervised and having a padded "landing" area.

Well I think that's it for now, check back for pictures this weekend. Who knows, I may even have something exciting to blog about too. You never can tell what kind of trouble Jordan and I might get into!
