September brought a couple birthday parties and a trip to the
Pacific Northwest (Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, BC), some oddly cold weather
and a final surge of warmth. Jordan's vocabulary is growing every day, and he is
"singing" along with us to certain songs. He loved spending time with his Orvik
Uncles on our trip, but he is a happier boy at home where everything is
familiar. We also got to attend Scott and Jo Olsen's wedding , but due to a
burnt finger (he found a really hot light bulb), we didn't get a chance to take
any pictures of the reception. Still, it was awesome to see all those Olsens
again.
We always want to hear from you and all about what you are
doing. Keep in touch!
