Picture time!

Ok, I am going to post some pics here, and then invite people to view my past "slide shows" from the holiday season on slide.com. If I miss you, and you want to see them, just send me your email address. Otherwise, I would have a ton of pics and slide shows posted (since I am way behind), and maybe not everyone is that interested... If you want to see the captions, just hover over each picture.

With that being said, welcome to a snapshot of Jordan's holiday season:

There...finally! I hope you like the pics. I am very fond of the ones with the guitar! He loves tools and music equally, and sooo much! Duane and I have a new saying (thanks to Guitar Guy/Jeff Dunham), Jordan IS our 401k. I guess whatever he loves, he should get to do it a lot right?

Nap time...Schnap time

So Jordan was sooo tired and onery last night that by the time he went to bed I called it....It was going to be a long and restless sleep kind of night. Little did I know...

So long story short after a few "wake-ups", I opted to lay down in the big boy bed with Jordan. It was sort of fun, like when you would build a fort as a kid. His Towmater nightlite gleaming...and the scent of a fresh diaper genie..It was magic. At least for about 5 minutes. Then I realized that I would much rather be in my bed. But Jordan had a different idea. Everytime I would try to get up, he would wake up and pat the bed next to him.."Mommy, come". Which means lay down right now. So, I spent the night on the big boy bed with Towmater and Lightning McQueen until 6:39 this morning. Then I was finally able to sneak away. Granted, I did get some good sleep in there, but I still wanted my bed.

Then at 7:15 here came Jordan into our room. And as always, he was wide awake and ready to go. It's a good thing he is so cute, because with 2 parents that are late night people he surely would have been in big trouble by now. Luckily for me, my late night adventures in his room paid off. Duane got some good sleep without us, and even went to get bagels this morning.

Now I am just hoping that Jordan naps soon. Maybe I will too, even though I have many chores to do before the weekend is over. I still contemplate how it can be noon and I can be this tired. I mean, a few years ago I would barely be waking up at this time on a weekend day. I knew it would catch up with me at some point, but not at 31. (Yes, that is my real age...sorry to burst the bubble of anyone who thought I was like 21). I guess I am going to have to start going to bed at 8:30 like Jordan so that when he wakes up at least I will have had a few hours of sleep.
