Dear Jordan,
It's been quite a week! Hard to believe you are almost two and a half. You are getting so tall and so talkative. And every once in a while, you follow directions and it gives me up that this obedience thing will catch on sooner or later. :) You are a one-track mind. You go hard and it's hard for you to change directions once you start heading one way. But, you are learning to obey us, which is good, because more than just making our lives easier, we want you to learn to obey God wherever he calls you!
We had a little bit of a family shake-up this week. Your Pappa has some lumps on his throat that he went to get checked out. On Wednesday, we found out that they might be cancer, so they are coming back to the States to have his thyroid removed. It's kind of scary news, even though this type of cancer is easy to take care of. You never want to have to worry about this and it will change Pappa's life because he will have to take medication the rest of his life. He has always been really healthy. It's interesting how my emotional state affects you. All day Wednesday, I was having a hard time. I was really worried and kind of taking it out on you...either by not being patient or by neglecting you. You were so sad by the end of the day! It just showed me how I need to trust God and not let my circumstances affect our family.
Pappa and Mammy will be here in a few weeks to spend time with us. While it is not great circumstances for us to see them, because they will be here for the surgery and Pappa's recovery, it is exciting that they will get to be here for Marcus' arrival. They will be a great blessing for you because while Mommy is busy trying to take care of a baby, you will have someone to play with and someone to take you out of the house! If you don't get out of the house, you start to get cranky!
On Tuesday, we went to Catfish Round-up in Seminole to celebrate your great-grandparent's 59th wedding anniversary. You ate mostly apple fritters and really enjoyed saying "hi" to the fishies (there is a big tank full of catfish!). Your cousin Sampson was there too. He's a big boy and ate more than you even though you are two years older!
Today was a beautiful Saturday. We went out to eat at a place called Syrup and then went to the park. The weather has been so nice this summer. We usually have multiple hundred degree days but this summer we have only had one. I will take it, especially since I am REALLY pregnant!
Well, we have friends coming over soon, so I need to go pick up our house. We cleaned out your toys today to give some away and save some for Baby Marcus to play with when he gets old enough. Hopefully, you enjoy purging and organizing as much as your dad and I do! :)
I love you!
