I found one of my "mom's notebooks" - here are some of the entries about you!!!
Feb 20/87 Jordan and Melanie "reading" on the couch. Jordan sitting on Melanie's
lap!!
May 87 Melanie able to buckle up her dress shoes!
Sept 87 Melanie calls me from top of the stairs saying "Alison-Alison" also gave
Jordan an order and touching him on the back says "do that, honey!"
Nov 87 Melanie's favorite song "Jesus loves me "
Jan 88 Melanie singing nursery rhymes a lot and Jesus loves me
Mar 88 asked Melanie where did you get such a brother? She replied with a smile,
"in the garden"!
Apr 1/88 Melanie likes wearing dresses and won't wear pants at all-very insistent
about "dressy shoes" to go with.
June 88 Jor 41", Mel 39" Tracy 35"
July Jord 36.5 lb, Mel 30.5 lb, Tracy 35lb
Oct 88 Melanie hurt her lip and was crying- Jord came up behind and hugged her-then
she was lying on the couch with ice on her lip and Jordan said he'd read her stories
so she'd feel better. Also sang some nursery rhymes to her both sitting in the
chair now.(big living room chair)
May 89 Jordan puts his chair right next to Melanie's at breakfast and says "I want
to sit beside Melanie- she's my best friend"
Dec 25/89 Melanie opening a gift took off the wrapping paper, and looking at the
box says OH!! I've got my own cereal!! very excitedly--it was a shredded wheat box.
You were quite a character-- and (mom says lovingly) YOU STILL ARE!!!

WOW!
that's fantastic.
i...wow. that's so adorable (the stories) -- and i love that your mom kept a notebook. that's a really good idea. reminds me of how mary (Jesus' mother) pondered things in her heart..
good blog.
I think we need to have an "Awwwwwww" moment right now.
I'm glad you knew where your brother came from. Its good to know your roots. I'm Kind of sad the clock story got left out...however I really enjoyed the ones your mom sent. I wonder if brother jordan would read and sing to you if you hurt your lip again? In the least I am glad you now wear pants...dresses are pretty but not practical. Especially with all this snow.
