2013 began with a lot of twists and turns for the little ones (they are 3 now, so we can't call them babies or toddlers, but they will always be our precious babies!) and although the first episode of each new experience may be a little trying, true to form the kids have met each new activity with resilience and spunk. Their birthday celebration was a simple gathering of close family members around the dinner table as a result of Mom and Dad's full schedule which carried over from last year and went over fine with all. The kids also began Early Development at Morton Ranch Elementary School 4 days a week from 8:30-12 this year and love every minute of the school day! We have a morning routine to get them ready for school and when the bus pulls up in front of the house (curb-side service...I love it!) the kids are all but falling over themselves to get out the door and on the bus. See below for memoirs of their first day!
This program will probably continue on for the kids all the way up to Kindergarten to make the transition smoother and we have every confidence that they will be just fine. We have been very fortunate to have a caring group of team members on both the pickup and drop off bus routes looking after the kids, as well as a wonderful teacher at Morton Ranch.
We also got treated to the kids first of many school pictures for Jacob and Jordan, and as seen below they are nothing short of cute (even if some chose not to smile).

For Valentine's Day this year, the kids got to experience some sweet, delicious (and very very messy) chocolate. The cleanup was a task, but Jacob and Jordan both loved the taste and weren't afraid to show their enthusiasm!
We also were fortunate to stumble onto a miniature ride-able train setup out in Katy that is open to the public once a month on Saturdays and everyone who went had an absolute blast! Jacob has been in love with trains since he was 2 and even has his sister as an enthusiast, and as seen in the photos below the kids were nothing short of awe-stricken and could barely contain their excitement!
With the record temperatures of the Texas summer heat quickly approaching as well as July 4, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas we have a lot to be thankful for. The kids are growing by leaps and bounds and adapting relatively well to their environment although at times it seems like everyone is always on the go. All in all, we are very happy with their development and are always looking for a new expression or choice word that the kids choose to share to describe the world in which they live.
Thank you for all of your love, prayers and thoughts! More progress reports as soon as I can spare another minute! May the good Lord bless and protect us all.
Kind regards,
The Cordova Family (Andy, Sheri, Jacob & Jordan)
