Jordan is 3 and trip to Black Forest

Jordan is now 3. She had a Birthday party here at the house. For a week, she walked around singing "Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me". The following week we took a trip to a small town in the Black Forest to an old-fashioned glass factory where Darla got to "blow" a vase. Basically, using old techniques, glass is heated to a near liquid state on the end of a long pole, rolled around in some colored glass chips and molded into a semi-round shape, heated again, and then you blow in the end of the pole to make the vase. It was a pretty neat place, Jordan was more interested in the animal wood carvings than the glass. Tori has been wearing her 'panties' to bed for about 3 weeks now and has not had a single accident. She keeps telling us she is now ready for a sleepover. She came home today with her valentine's cards from her kindergarten valentine party and was showing daddy her cards. One of them came from "the most handsomest boy in the class". It snowed again today, this is the 3d time this winter. Here are a few pictures from the Birthday party and our trip to the black forest along with a castle we saw on the way.
