Busy Week

What a week! Thursday Ethan had a follow up appointment with the pulmonologist and got a clean bill of health!! He said everything looked and sounded just fine so now we only need to see him if a problem develops.

Then Friday Ethan had a regular baby well check with his pediatrician and is weighing in at 18 pounds, 9 ounces and 26 inches long.


After the doctor's appointment we rushed out to a birthday party at the rollar rink. I haven't been in one of those for years but the one by our house offers a time for little ones to either ride their trikes or push toys. A great place for a birthday party!

Then we had to go buy a new TV as our old one (of only 2+ years) died on us. So, in the space of a couple weeks, we've had to replace our camera and our TV - not cheap items. And we're also looking to buy a 8 passenger car sometime after Christmas. Thank goodness we are living debt free - makes it so much easier to deal with these high end replacement items.

Saturday we rushed out to do some errands before our neighbors threw a going away party for Jason that night. They had cooked up a beef brisket and we feasted on that all night (DELICIOUS).

The kids had fun playing and Jack has his first girlfriend, Ainsley, who is 9 months younger and lives behind us. She was infatuated with him.








We got our Christmas tree up today and most of the decorating. We're hosting our playgroup's annual Christmas Party/Cookie Swap on Thursday, so I've been trying to clean and bake and get gifts ready for the kids.

Jack loved helping to decorate and was dancing along to the Christmas music. Ethan had fun watching us, and just as I predicted he would when we got the tree up, has started crawling. Well, all he's doing is getting up on his hands and knees and then pushing himself forward and falling on his belly, but still, I consider that to be crawling. It won't be long before we're chasing him all over the place.

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...

 We have traveled around the SE for lacrosse tournaments in the past but this year we had the opportunity to travel to Denver, CO for one. I think it was one of my favorite. We tried to make it a family vacation as well, so we traveled in early the day before and spent some time exploring.  We headed down to Rock Park in Castle Rock and did a little hiking.  See that big rock in the background? Yup, the boys climbed all the way to the top. Ethan and I made it to the base of the rock while Jason, Jack and Wyatt climbed up top.  Ethan and I messing around waiting on the other boys.  Photos of the boys up top.  Our first game was an evening game, so we had most of the day to explore and get used to the altitude (which definitely got to the boys once they got on the field). The fun part of having good friends on the same lacrosse team is you get to explore together. We all drove up to Red Rocks to expl...

Summer is Lacrosse

 This summer was especially busy for us as Jack played on TWO travel lacrosse teams and Wyatt played his first year on one. We only had one weekend where Jason and Wyatt headed off to Nashville, TN while Jack, Ethan and I stayed here for each of their tournaments.  This was Wyatt's oh-so-happy-to-get-his-photo-taken face before they headed out to Nashville. I just loved the shirt!!  This was the set up we had for Jack's tournament in town. Ethan was happy as a clam with shade and his iPad!!  Jack had a phenomenal first tournament and was directly responsible for almost all the teams goals. He looked awesome and he joked it was because his annoying youngest brother wasn't around. Boys!  Just a few shots of Jack playing.  Summer also means supporting our local professional field lacrosse team, The Atlanta Blaze. Jack and his buddy Zac had the privilege of working with the team's head coach through the local youth Thund...
