Reading Week Number 2

Hi all! This is Jordan's first time blogging, so he's learning a lot of new stuff. He's also getting fairly frustrated that the pictures are uploaded upsidedown, but I guess you can look a little sideways once in a while.
Well, we just got back from a great weekend in Edmonton! We met up with Jordan's parents, his sister and two adorable kids, and his brother. We got to stay in a hotel and we got to do a lot of window shopping without really buying much, so that was fun. Valean's favorite part was going to Ikea. This was Jordan's first time going, so Valean was super excited to show him all the cool stuff, and she had fun trying to figure out how to spend her birthday money. Now we can grate cheese in style! She also got a lot of ideas for how she wants to design her kitchen, so Jordan's next job is to get her a kitchen of her own. Yay!
We got to eat a lot of food: Jordan went to the Olive Garden for the first time (yummo!) and Valean got her strawberry sensation from Orange Julius. We did not only shop and eat food, but we did enjoy visiting with family in between running after Tristian. He has a whole lot of energy. So all in all, it was a really good break from daily duldrums and wearisome work. And yes, it is time to find the bed, after a long day's drive. So take care and enjoy the pictures, even the sideways ones.
-Jordan
