Jack's First Day of Preschool

Today was Jack's first day of preschool. He was so excited and had a great day! Ethan and I walked him into his classroom, saw his cubby hole and then said our good-bye's. I'm proud of myself that I didn't cry (I cry at everything these days!!) and even more proud that Jack didn't. He looked unsure for about a minute but then said "I love you Mommy," and was good.


He had such a great time at school that he's been asking me all day today why he can't go back tomorrow. I keep telling him he only goes Tuesday, Thursday and Friday's but that's not good enough. I guess once he starts kindergarten he'll finally be happy.


Last week Jack and Ethan spent a lot of time playing together in the hallway while Jack did some artwork. They had the best time and stayed occupied for quite a long time.




On Sunday, my cousin Robyn and her son Alex came out for a quick visit on their way from Alabama to the airport. We spent a couple hours with them and the boys played so well together. Robyn used to live in Atlanta and although she's been gone since before we moved here, she makes a great effort to come back and visit about once a year. And now that the boys are getting bigger and can play better together, hopefully they will visit more often.




This is Ethan taking pictures after watching Jack play with his camera. Ethan is doing great with his therapies and we're now working on him going from a sit to a stand. He's quite strong in his legs now so he can do it quite well.

He also just got his two bottom molars! Finally some new teeth. I wish it was his two top teeth, but I'll take anything at this point.

Now we're getting ready for the arrival of Granny on Thursday and Daddy on Thursday or Friday. Jason informed me on Monday that he has been delayed another six weeks for the next class to start due to his shoulder injury. While we're upset that this puts him gone from us longer, we're happy knowing that he's made a huge improvement in these past six weeks that another six weeks might just get him back to his pre-injury state!
Looks like another trip to North Carolina is in our near future!!

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...

My Week

 Jason left last Saturday (the 4th) for his two week Army Annual Training and we sent him off with a nighttime treat before he left.  I love this photo of my boys, as they all look so happy and the small ones look so grown up - especially Ethan.  We couldn't pry that cup of frozen yogurt away from him!!  And, as usual, when Jason leaves all hell breaks loose.  Tuesday night we were all getting ready for bed and I was getting Ethan and Wyatt out of the bathtub when Wyatt slipped and banged his chin on the edge.  Normally Wyatt gets out first but this time I got Ethan and that just drove him crazy.  He was jumping up and down and as soon as I told him to stop he slipped.  I thought he had just cut his lip or his gums as I only saw blood but then he titled his head up and I saw his chin - too much of the inside of the chin.  I got him dried off, and kept a washcloth to his chin but knew I needed to get him to the ER.  But the last th...

Master Closet Overhaul

 We have this ridiculously large walk-in closet in our master bedroom and over time it has been overtaken with STUFF. So I decided I was tired of looking at the mess and it was time to clean it out and up.  Take a look...  I can't believe it went from this... To this!  I love walking in here now and actually find myself looking for reasons to go into my closet.  Along with just weeding out old clothes and items I no longer wore or needed (you should see the pile of stuff that was donated!) I made some changes to the room too.   One of them was my shoe racks. I've long wanted a tall shoe rack to go alongside the built in shelves but I knew it would never get off my husband's to-do list so I took matters into my own hands!!  It's not exactly what I had envisioned but it works and I'm happy with it. Thanks Target for the shelves.  Over the past few years I have developed a deep love for scarves and now own several....
