Busy Weekend

I had every intention of keeping regular on this blog -- until I caught the boys cold. Luckily it didn't get me as hard as it got them, but it's hard to be sick pregnant with two little boys and no one else to help you out. But despite all that I had a great weekend. On Saturday I got Kortney, the teenage neighbor who lives two doors up from us, to come watch the boys for about four hours as I headed downtown for a girls afternoon out.


The boys had a great time and when Kortney left, Jack turned to me and said, "I wish she could stay here forever." Now I need to find an excuse to get her back over here....

These photos are from a birthday party we went to on Valentine's Day at the old gymnastics place Jack used to go to. The pictures of Ethan above are with Hadley, the birthday boy's sister, who is 7 months younger than him. They had a great time playing with and chasing each other.














You can tell from some of these photos that Jack wasn't feeling all that well. He'd be busy playing one minute and then laying down resting the next. Soooo not like him, poor guy!





Whenever Jason is home, Ethan only has eyes for him. It's a nice break for me and I'm happy that he's not angry that Daddy is away so much and doesn't hold it against him when he pops in for a weekend. You can tell how much he misses Daddy when I take him out and about - he always gravitates towards the men. In fact, when I was at the OB's office last week there was a dad there with his 18 month old son. Within 10 minutes Ethan was over there playing with them and within 15 minutes he managed to find his way into the dad's arms, all snuggled in. It was so sweet!







By the end of the party, Jack was basically asking to leave. He put up a bit of a fight but was basically done for the day....

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 ...
