Visit to NJ

















Norm has not been feeling too well and I decided to visit while I had a break in my travel schedule. I took Jordan with me to add a little comic relief and it could not have worked out better. She was great! She did not remember her first plane ride a few years ago so this was a whole new experience again.


The plane ride was a lot of fun as we colored, played games and listened to music. When we arrived in NJ, she got to see snow for the first time (again).

When we stopped by my parents she could not wait to get out of the car and touch the snow. It was really more ice at this point but she didn't care.

Jordan made everyone in the house laugh and smile. She spent a lot of time playing with Mimi. They played games, told jokes, and did their nails.

With Papa Norm, she kept tickling his feet and yelling "Wake up Papa!!!" when he would dose off. Overall, he was in very good spirits but physically you can tell he was drained. He could not get over how beautiful Jordan is and can tell she's strong and independent. He told me this story about how strong the Samson women are and sees a lot of that in Jordan. He said, we're gonna have our hands full with her, but in a good way.

The coolest thing about the trip was that I got to share some of my favorite things with her.
I took her to her 1st diner and we shared a big plate of French Fries with cheese and gravy. She LOVED them.

Jordan also got to spend a lot of time with her cousins. She had fun with Joel and keeps saying how funny he was. She got to see Aunt Mindy, Aunt Debra and whole parade of people who visit my folks.

She was sad to leave because she really loved spending time there. We'll be back soon
