Another day ...


Hello again! I've got the boys in bed and I've got a load of groceries (non-perishable, of course) waiting to be put away somewhere (curses this small kitchen with no place to store anything), floors that need mopping, rebates that need to be filled out and posted and email that needs to be looked at. But here I am on the computer, posting to all of you.

We had Ethan's PT today and Kris, our awesome therapist, had Ethan up on his hands and knees for quite awhile today. I know Ethan is just itching to crawl, so hopefully now that he is getting his arms straight at the same time he's got his knees under him, it won't be long!

Can I just tell you how wonderful my little Jack is? Well, he's not so little anymore (just over 3 feet tall and almost 40 pounds). The other day he told me, and I quote, "Dog gonit Mommy, we need to get you more flowers!" It was so sweet to hear. And then on Sunday, he and Daddy ran an errand and came home with flowers for me. Jason insisted that Jack mentioned it to him on the way to Home Depot and then reminded him when they got to the store to get the Sunday paper. I love that little guy!

And one more quick little story before I sign off and get some actual work done before it's too late...Jack likes to get up between 6:30 and 7 each morning and come into bed with us. I refuse to let him in before the sun comes up, as I don't want him to get in the habit of sleeping with us. Well, imagine to my surprise when I woke up about 2am Saturday morning to find him sleeping between me and Jason? He sure came in quietly, as I normally hear him padding down the hallway. I took him back to bed (with only a short protest from him) and he slept there the rest of the night but I thought it was pretty funny.

Jack really is a sweet kid. You guys have done such a great job with him but I think he also just has his own special personality!

I'm excited to see both of them again (as well as you too) and can't wait to see Ethan's progress in person.

Having a Great Visit with Aunt Delly

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've last posted, but it's hard when you have company in town. Plus, I've been especially exhausted this past week. Jack get's so excited when we have visitors that he gets even crazier than normal! September should be fun when we have Daddy, Granny and Grandma in town. I've been continuously changing up our great room bookshelves, so I thought I would post a photo for you to see. If anyone has more ideas on how to make it look better, let me know. These are some pictures of Jack at gymnastics. He has gotten so much better at this club. They do a lot more strengthening stuff than the old place. Plus they have an older boys class so they don't just teach girly stuff at this age. It's been fun to see him do so well. Of course, a lot of time he still goofs around, trying to fall off stuff, but for the most part he's pretty good at staying on task. Last week they did the monkey bars and he LOVED it and was...

The Olympics

Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I've last posted a message. I guess it's been due to a combination of being really busy and not having much to say! Is that a contradiction? We've been letting Jack stay up late since Friday so that he could enjoy the Olympics. He really enjoyed the opening ceremony and has been in awe of the gymnastics. We went to a BBQ on Sunday night and just as we were getting ready to leave they put the ladies gymnastics on and all the kids say and watched. We had to drag Jack away. In other news, we're getting ready to do a really crazy thing. After only two months of having no debt and house payment, we're putting in an offer on a new home! We really had no plans to do this, but when we went to visit our friends on Sunday, we decided to drive around and look at the houses there. We had looked in there back before Ethan was born and fell in love with the place so we thought we'd just take a look and see how much i...

Busy week

It's been a busy week with little things here and there, which is getting me ready for the busy summer ahead of us with gymnastics, swimming and all Ethan's therapies. Whew, I need a break from just thinking about it. We did have a nice walk down to our community playground this afternoon. Ethan couldn't stop laughing on the swings and the slide (he couldn't get enough of the slide) and Jack made a little friend! Great afternoon. Speaking of therapies, Ethan starts his occupational therapy next week and I'm so excited. We got the therapy notes back from his evaluation and, while I'm not positive on how I'm reading it, the scores say from poor to very poor. We have been very lucky that Ethan hasn't had any medical issues and so far he seems to be doing well with responding to his therapies, so I really want to make sure he has the best of everything. Today has just made me a little blue thinking about Ethan not being 100% of what other kids are and ...
