Hanging in Daytona Beach, Florida

Nana and Granddad arrived at our house in Atlanta on Tuesday night and the boys have been having a blast with them ever since. Nana's iPod Touch has become Jack's favorite toy since there's a game on it that he can play. Now whenever we need a few minutes to relax, he gets to play it and it keeps him quiet. Uh oh, he's already taking after Daddy with the computer games! I shouldn't be surprised, they are two peas in a pod, those too.

Jack started a new tradition with Nana and Granddad -- board games after dinner! I love that it gives me some time to clean the kitchen and get things organized for the next day. We tried putting Ethan in the keeping room to play on his own but he didn't want any part of that. He instantly made a beeline to the dining room to be a part of the games too!

Saturday we drove down to Daytona Beach, FL and today we enjoyed our first full day here. With Hurricane Ida making its way up the Gulf of Mexico we've been experiencing a lot of wind but at least it's been nice and warm (upper 70s/low 80s). We spent the morning in the pool and I couldn't drag the boys out! While we made our way down to the beach first thing, it was just to look at the waves. Hopefully tomorrow we can spend some time in the water and making sand castles.

The boys have been enjoying playing on the porch outside the back of the room, which overlooks the pool. Ethan, especially, has been having fun climbing up and down the step, playing with his reflection in the glass door and watching Jack run around him. It's pretty easy to keep these two occupied!

We're hoping to make it down to the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canveral one of these days. Since we saw the shuttle take off last year while we were here, this seems the perfect trip to go check out all things space!

I'll try and keep this blog updated frequently but all this warm weather has been making me extra sleepy!

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

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.
