A Teenager?

Where does the time go? It seems like such a short time ago, this young man was just a young boy!

March 27th Jordan turned 13... or did he? (he he) Jordan was born on Aviv 7 on the Hebrew calender. Aviv is the first month of the Biblical new year, so according to the barley harvest in Israel, we began a new year 9 days ago. So, we had fun teasing Jordan for a week that he was not officially 13 yet. Well, as much as I am sad to see him grow so fast, I am happy at what a fine young man he is becoming!

12 has been one of our toughest years, so with that behind us, we (and I think I speak for Jordan too) are looking forward to this coming year!

Some random things about Jordan:

He:

• is very capable and helpful
• is good with his hands and likes to build and fix things
• loves to be outside tinkering in his shop
• likes stuff (translate junk)
• likes old stuff, especially Old Blue, his '65 Huffy Good Vibrations bike.
• loves Gabby and Shabby and his three little fur-ball kittens Pabby, Snowball, and Mittens
• loves shooting, fishing, floor hockey and soccer
• likes to play mountain men and make homemade mountain man stuff
• is great at volunteering his time to referee at the YMCA, shovel snow and help others.
• likes listening to music and is always popping my cd out of the car stereo and putting his cowboy music in.
• can really do a great job when he is motivated and his heart is in it
• enjoys his friendships with Rokan and Rye and he talks on the phone more than I do!
• loves Summer

Jordan we are blessed to have you in our family!
