Ethan is 8 months old!




I can't believe it's been 8 months already - where does the time go?

We started speech therapy today and it was a good session. We'll see the therapist twice a month for 30 minutes at a time. She could see a big difference in Ethan from when she was out a month or so ago for an evaluation. Now we've got more exercises to work with him on. That kid is a real trooper for all the stuff we put him through!


Jack had his 3 year old check-up yesterday and is doing great. They did an eye exam, hearing exam and checked everything out in between. He is 3 feet, 3 inches and 40 pounds. His weight is in the 95th percentile and his height is between the 90th and 95th percentile, which they said was good. He should be tall!!

Other than that, we're just gearing up for Jack's birthday party with his friends this weekend. Between planning for that and getting the house back in order after being gone for so long, I really feel like this week has slipped away from me.

I still need to blog and post pictures from the rest of our trip. I promise to get to that soon (hopefully tonight after the boys go to bed).

Oh, I love that first picture. Remember how Jack used to "airplane" at that age? It's so cute! He's Daddy's little paratrouper.

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...

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 ...

Last Day in Prague

Our last full day in Prague. We had a late night parting the night before and a very early morning excursion but this was the one I was excited for! We did a similar excursion in Italy and loved it too. This was an awesome city bike tour to the Vysehrad Castle. We stopped for photo ops along the way - including here along the Charles River. But it's all fun and games until someone gets stopped by the Polizia! Before we left on our trip I was told to make sure you stay away from the police, so I was surprised to come up the big steep hill to see Jason stopped by one. I guess our tour guides didn't get the permit to ride in the park (too close to kids and a school). We had all just come up a big steep hill and were separated from the front of our group. Jason stopped to wait for me and the rest of the group to make sure we knew where to go. We had three guides, on leading, one in the middle who pulled away from Jason, and then one at the back. ...
