Living in the New House

We spent our first night in the house Saturday night and have been loving it ever since. Of course, we're still unpacking and finding homes for everything but having moved slowly over the past month has helped.

We've already met a lot of our neighbors and LOVE them! We have a 13 year old across the street that is a dog watcher and soon to be a babysitter, which I couldn't be more thrilled about. We feel like we found the perfect home.



Sunday was a nice (but muggy) day so we took a break from moving and took a walk to the playpark in the neighborhood. It was about a 15 minute walk and Jack took the lead with Stanley. Even though Stanley still gives Jack a warning bark every now and then, they are becoming fast friends and some nights you'll find Stanley sleeping in Jack's room (which Jack LOVES).


We got back into the therapy routine today and Ethan has started to make a new noise. He now says ooooooooh, which is so exciting. It's funny what we now get excited about, which we took for granted (but still got excited about) with Jack. We're hoping to start Occupational Therapy in the next week or so.


Mom gave us some exciting news this afternoon -- Alaska Airlines will finally start flying direct from Seattle to Atlanta this fall (end of October). This now means that Mom and Dad will be able to come see us easier and hopefully more often, and the boys and I will be able to get up to Seattle a lot more with the use of Mom's buddy passes. We are beyond excited!

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...

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 ...
