Seattle Trip

Another spring night in Georgia -- under another tornado watch! Hopefully I can get this posted before any really bad weather knocks the power out.

Here are some photos and a few stories from our trip to Seattle. I took a ton of photos so it will take a few days to get them all posted.

This was our first day / night in Seattle. Jason, Adele and Grandma Christy came over to visit. The boys were so happy to see everyone.


We spent a lot of time with Grandma Alice and both see and the boys really enjoyed their time together.



Auntie Jake came to visit the next day and Jack LOVED having all these people to play with! Every day he was asking who was coming to visit and play with him.



Ethan had the best time playing with this balloon.


On a visit with Uncle Jason they took a walk looking for Trolls.



One of the best things about Jack is his willingness to help and do projects. Nana asked him to vacuum one day and then everyday after that he asked everyday if he could clean up. Every mess he saw he would beg Nana to get the sweeper out.



Besides helping me feed Ethan, Jack also helped Nana make some cookies. He has always been eager to help me in the kitchen, it's nice to see him cooking with Nana too!






I love these photos (taken by Giesela) because there are so few photos of me with the boys, as I'm usually the one taking the photos.





I love seeing the smiles on Ethan's face and it's nice to have his responding to me captured on camera.







Jack and Nana spent a couple hours "speed reading" a box National Geographics magazines, stopping for everything space related. Ever since we saw the Space Shuttle take off in Florida, Jack has been fascinated by all things space.



Ethan loved standing up holding onto the bathtub. He's been doing a lot of standing holding onto things ever since we've been in Seattle.


Jack got several slivers in his hands while playing outside. We loosen them with a needle, then encouraged him to play in some soapy water to get them out. Luckily having Uncle Jason around to wash dishes with was enough to get Jack playing in the water.

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.
