Trip Extended

It's been so nice being here with Jason and being a family. I can only imagine how hard it's going to be when we leave here. For both the boys and myself. Not to mention Jason.....

But the good news is that we have decided to extend our trip through August. We'll be leaving on Sunday the 23rd. Then it will only be a week and a half before Granny comes to visit and Jason comes home for Labor Day weekend.

I was concerned how Ethan would do without all of his therapies for a few weeks but it seems like he's making some big strides. He is now holding his own sippy cup and drinking from it. And the other day I was holding him up and he took steps (with me still holding him) to turn around to face me! I was so excited. I've been trying to work with him a lot but it's been hard to spend much time in this small apartment before going stir crazy.

We've got lots of fun coming up over the next couple of weeks. Jason has a three day weekend this weekend so we're going to do a bit of exploring around Fayetteville (children's museum, animal ranch, etc.) and maybe take a drive out to the North Carolina coast. Next weekend we've booked a hotel for two nights in Myrtle Beach, SC and I'm so excited. I've always wanted to go there and it will be fun to experience the beach in the summer -- normally we visit Daytona Beach, FL in November so it will be quite a different experience!

I'll try and post every few days on here without pics and then when I get home at the end of the month just post blogs filled with pictures.

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 ...
