Memorial Day Weekend

What a great weekend it's been, and we still have all day on Tuesday with Jason home! I hope you've all enjoyed a lovely weekend, too.

These are a few pictures of Ethan doing his speech therapy, and Jack helping. Jack loves helping because Miss Stephanie always brings fun toys for Ethan to play with that Jack get's to play with when Ethan is done.

I especially love the shirt that Ethan is wearing. It says, "I drive my mom bananas!" And boy is that true on many days. Being a single mom is tough sometimes and I'm not looking forward to Jason heading up to Ft. Bragg at the end of June. Oh well, we'll solider through it.

We went to look for a projector for our theater room on Friday and the store we went to had these blow up aliens that Jack was having a blast playing with. When we left they let Jack take one home with him and he's been dragging him around with him everywhere since. He even sleeps in bed with him!

Saturday we had a birthday party to attend for MaKenna, Ethan and Jack's friend. There were lots of kids Jack's age and once he warmed up he had a lot of fun playing with them.

They had a pinata for the kids, which they each got to pull strings until it broke (with the help of an adult) and then collect all the candy. Luckily there were lots of lollipops in there, as that's about the only candy that Jack will eat. And since he doesn't like cake, he enjoyed a sucker while the rest of us ate cake.

Jack showing off his green tongue from his sucker, while Ethan enjoyed his cake and ice cream. That kid can eat!

Sunday the weather was warm so we headed down to the pool for opening weekend. It was a bit chilly when you first got in, but not so bad once you got used to it. Jack and Daddy had a blast while me and Ethan just got our feet wet. Ethan didn't like the cold at all but we couldn't drag out, as usual. I see a long, fun summer ahead of us - but lots of fights to go home!!

We headed back out to the pool this afternoon and while it was warmer today than yesterday, Ethan still didn't like the water. I remember it taking him a long time last summer to get used to it but then loving it. Now we're about to sit down and enjoy some ribs and coleslaw.

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...

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 ...

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. ...
