Sorry I haven't posted for so long

It's been a long couple of weeks and I'm sorry that I haven't posted in so long. I was hoping to share good news with everyone, but as most of you know, I suffered a miscarriage last week. I had gone to the doctor's a week and a half ago and saw a heartbeat, but was told the baby was measuring 2 weeks later than I thought. That was my first sign, but with the heartbeat I was optimistic. However, the next day things changed, so back to the doctor's I went. I was told that the baby had grown in the two days and they could still detect a slight heartbeat (though I couldn't see it) so we were optimistic. I was sent home and put on strict bedrest (BORING) for the weekend and given some medicine. We were feeling good about things until Sunday night. While we're disappointed we've been reassured that we should be able to add to the family in the near future (fingers crossed).

Anyway, due to all that, not much has been happening around here lately. Our neighbor gave Jack his old scooter and Jack has never been happier, outside playing with "my friends." In fact, these days, all he wants to do is go outside or next door to play with the boys. I love the freedom it gives me to get stuff done without worrying about entertaining Jack. My next big project is finding a preschool for Jack to attend this fall.

Jack has been all about helping me with "special projects." This week he helped me make some blueberry banana bread. He did most of the work by stirring everything together so I had to get some pictures of him baking with me, as it's something I enjoy doing so much.

Jack started t-ball practice this week and he loves it! Jason took him out this weekend to get him a batter's hat and he's been wearing all day (for breakfast and to play).

Ethan's been doing awesome and has pushed himself into a sitting position twice by himself in the last week. We're so excited for him. It's amazing the difference in raising a "typical" kid and a "special needs" child. It's more work but so rewarding.

We're getting ready to buy our tickets to Seattle for my brother's wedding (I can't believe how expensive tickets are this year -- and am puzzled as to why they keep getting MORE expensive) and are looking forward to seeing all you Seattlite's soon!!!

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

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.
