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...

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. ...
