Changes

Changes are things that most of the time I like. I adjust well and am excited and happy about new things to come. Other times changes are a little bit sad or nostalgic, knowing that soon what I know will be gone. Today I'm feeling both feelings about change.

The exciting change is my brother Aaron is engaged, as I'm sure most if not all of you already know. How crazy is that. My 21 year old brother, going to be married next June, man does that feel weird. It doesn't make me feel old, probably because I'm not! but it does feel weird to know I won't be the only one in my family married. It adds change because Jordyn and Landyn now have a new Aunt. Since getting engaged we've been calling Molly, "Aunt Molly" and I think both Aaron and Molly love this change! I like it too because both of my girls love Molly and we're excited to have her be a part of our lives. She's definitely a little shy (at least in my opinion), there's still a lot I need to know about her but there's a lot we already know. When you need to grocery shop and you don't have enough room in the cart, call Molly. When you're looking for a good dessert, call Molly. If you're dishes are in the sink, dirty because you're just too tired to take care of them that day, invite Molly over. If your kids need a playmate, call Molly, but make sure I don't need her first! She's really a wonderful person and we're excited to get to know her better.

To add to that, my little girl is going to be the flower girl. Who knows how that's going to work...I'm hoping well but I guess we'll have to wait and see. Uncle Aaron and Aunt Molly brought Jordyn over a bouquet of beautiful orange flowers and asked her to be their flower girl. Of course she said yes, because she has no idea what that means, but it meant she got to hold the flowers and break the stem of almost every single one. I can't believe my daughter is going to be a flower girl!

Jordyn is also becoming a lot more vocal and that change is exciting but a little sad. I'm going to miss all the cute words she says wrong, along with her really high pitched voice. Sadly, along with that vocalness comes a lot more attitude and opinions...something else that I'm not to thrilled about. But at the same time, I'm loving it. This was her conversation with Landyn this morning. "You can come into my room Landyn, come on. I have lots of toys you can play with. I have puzzles or shoes. You can play with them." How cute is that. And of course Landyn followed her right into her room and they sat together playing to nicely!

I'm thrilled with the changes Jordyn is going through but going to miss her being my baby so I figured I better get some of her cuteness on film. Below is a video of some of Jordyn's thoughts and opinions. Hopefully you can understand!
