So, we left this morning around 10:00 and dropped Marshall off with grandpa in Morrilton. He was glad that he got to spend the day with his grandpa and didn't have to go all the way to Springdale. Jordan slept in this morning and woke up with snot dried to her face. Of course, the morning we leave, she has a snotty nose. Once we got to Morrilton and she ate and I sucked her nose out she was much better. Mom met us in Morrilton and followed us up. I think she wanted to go along since she went up when we took Marshall 5 years ago. It's crazy to think that we were doing this 5 years ago with Marshall and now we're doing it with Jordan. I never in my wildest dreams would have imagined that we would be traveling down the same road we traveled 5 years ago.
It was a nice drive and we stopped at Alma and ate lunch at Braum's. We took Jordan's "low chair" as Mark calls it into the restaurant and she enjoyed sitting in it during lunch.
We got to Springdale around 2:00 and came to the hotel and unpacked the truck before heading to Wal-Mart. Although this is an Extended Stay, it is nothing like the one that we stayed at in Michigan, which was a Candlewood Suites. It will work for Jordan and I and we will manage, but we were definitely spoiled in Michigan this past summer. I think mom was tired of us saying, "it's not like Michigan." We are only about 5 minutes from the school and Walmart, so that is good. We went and got groceries and figured out which way to drive to school in the mornings without having to get on 412 or 71 business (Yuck to both!!) We found Jordan some cute clippies while at Walmart to hopefully keep her hair out of her eyes while she is in class, because Mark does not want me to cut her bangs again. Let's just say, they were a tad short last time mommy cut them. Jordan was really tired by the time we were finished shopping but managed to take this cute picture. 
We decided to unload all of our groceries onto the cart so that we could make one trip into the hotel, instead of making a bunch of trips in and out. After unloading all of the groceries Mom and Mark headed home so that Mark could get back to Morrilton and pick up Marshall. Jordan laid down to take a nap, it was a long day for a little girl!

It was hard to say goodbye to mom and Mark, but saying goodbye is always the hardest part of these commitments. So, after Jordan took a nap we ate supper and had a bath to get ready for class in the morning and then Jordan sat up in the bed like a big girl with mommy. 
Jordan was a really good girl for me, but she would not quit laughing and screaming and kicking in the bed. I decided to let her sleep with me instead of sleeping in her play yard, but all she did was play, so tomorrow night she will have to sleep in her play yard, because I did not get any sleep. Here is a short video clip of her in the bed at the hotel the first night. What a goofball she is.
