Long Week

Well, I tried to be better at keeping up to date on this blog , but it's been a long week....

Ethan was sick ALL WEEK LONG. I thought it was just a tooth that popped through last weekend, but then he slept ALL DAY on Monday (seriously, he was awake maybe four hours all day). I called the doctor and they said that was often how a body heals from a sickness - to sleep so long. They said if it lasted longer than 48 hours then to bring him in.

Well, Tuesday he was much better but then took a turn on Wednesday and was back to sleeping and being listless. So Thursday I got him into the doctors and we are now treating him for an ear infection on pneumonia. She wasn't fully sure of the pneumonia, but thought his symptoms were worse than just an ear infection (his temp was 103.5 and he was having a little trouble with his breathing) and she wanted to be more aggressive with his treatment. And he's been doing so much better since getting the antibiotics. He's still a bit fussy and sleeps a bit but he's moving around, talking and playing again.


Then we got a surprise visit from Jason Friday night. I think hearing how sick Ethan was made him want to make the long drive home for a short trip to see us all. I know it helped me out to have him here and Ethan LOVED it. He wouldn't leave Jason's side and basically ignored me, which he tends to do when Jason is here.

But now Jason's back in North Carolina, the boys are in bed and I'm finally getting some of these photos posted.


These are more of our snow pictures. They are calling for another chance of snow on Tuesday but then it's supposed to be in the 60s by the weekend. I'm done with winter and have a serious case of Spring Fever so I hope they are right!







Now we're just counting down the weeks until the newest member of our family joins us. Just over 8 weeks to go.....

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...

 We have traveled around the SE for lacrosse tournaments in the past but this year we had the opportunity to travel to Denver, CO for one. I think it was one of my favorite. We tried to make it a family vacation as well, so we traveled in early the day before and spent some time exploring.  We headed down to Rock Park in Castle Rock and did a little hiking.  See that big rock in the background? Yup, the boys climbed all the way to the top. Ethan and I made it to the base of the rock while Jason, Jack and Wyatt climbed up top.  Ethan and I messing around waiting on the other boys.  Photos of the boys up top.  Our first game was an evening game, so we had most of the day to explore and get used to the altitude (which definitely got to the boys once they got on the field). The fun part of having good friends on the same lacrosse team is you get to explore together. We all drove up to Red Rocks to expl...

Summer is Lacrosse

 This summer was especially busy for us as Jack played on TWO travel lacrosse teams and Wyatt played his first year on one. We only had one weekend where Jason and Wyatt headed off to Nashville, TN while Jack, Ethan and I stayed here for each of their tournaments.  This was Wyatt's oh-so-happy-to-get-his-photo-taken face before they headed out to Nashville. I just loved the shirt!!  This was the set up we had for Jack's tournament in town. Ethan was happy as a clam with shade and his iPad!!  Jack had a phenomenal first tournament and was directly responsible for almost all the teams goals. He looked awesome and he joked it was because his annoying youngest brother wasn't around. Boys!  Just a few shots of Jack playing.  Summer also means supporting our local professional field lacrosse team, The Atlanta Blaze. Jack and his buddy Zac had the privilege of working with the team's head coach through the local youth Thund...
