A Few Random Thoughts

I love living down here where the sense of patriotism and love of country is so great. I was driving home yesterday morning and kept seeing groups of people on every street corner with flags (plus flags everywhere even when there were no people). I got home and did a quick internet search to see what was going on and found that a local solider was killed in the war and these were people lining the route the hearse was to make. I almost broke down in tears. I've never seen this anywhere but in the south. I hope it happens elsewhere too but am doubtful.

In all the moving and unpacking, I found my journal from my senior year in high school and have been tripping down memory lane. Wow, I can't believe how silly I was back then. I had a few insightful moments but mostly I was a silly teen (trying to keep it clean here). Thank you to everyone for putting up with me! :-) I guess I have these years to look forward to with my boys....so happy to not have a daughter (of course I'm probably just jinxing myself into having one!).

Anyway, not much to report on family wise. I think we've got one last box to unpack!!! And Jack's bunkbed to put together -- but we're basically all moved in. Jack is signed up for swimming lessons and I've found a preschool for the fall, all that's left is gymnastics, which should be done by next week.

On a final note, Grease was on today so of course I had to watch it. I was singing and dancing, as was Jack, so I told him this was my favorite movie. He looked at me and said, "mine too!" I love that little guy!!!

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.
