Nesting Instinct???

I now have documented proof that my house gets cleaned every now and then! Actually, I cleaned the house about two weeks ago for a party I had and have managed to keep it clean since. I think it might be my nesting instinct kicking in. I reorganized the pantry a few weeks ago and am in the process of redoing stuff in the kitchen to make it easier to get things and keep clean.



We get Ethan's big boy bunkbed delivered this coming weekend and I'm ready to move all the baby stuff into place, although Jason is telling me to just wait until he's home Easter weekend! Let's see if I can hold out.



Jason met with the Army neck surgeon PA today and was told that if he wants to continue actively in the military then he's going to have to have surgery for his two bulged discs in his neck. He needs to have two vertebrae in his neck fused together and a disc replaced between two others and put in a titanium plate. This will all take place up at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC. On April 15th he'll meet with the doctors (at Ft. Bragg) to discuss the surgery. Of course, Jason and the doctors want me to be there but with that being little under two weeks until baby Wyatt comes, I'm not sure how I'll wing that....but at that point he'll pick a date for surgery. Of course, he still needs to have some type of surgery for the missing medial meniscus in his knee. Which one will come first is still up in the air. He meets with that doctor on April 2nd. The good news is that with each surgery he should get 30 days medical leave to be at home.

It's been a lot for us to process today.....



The above is a picture of yummy enchiladas I made the other day that nobody would eat. Of course, we go out for Mexican and the boys will eat it no problem, but I make it at home (Jack even helped me and said how yummy it looked) and they won't even take a bite!



Here's Jack painting one of his many masterpieces that are now hung up all over the house. He's been having so much fun painting and I've really enjoyed seeing them on the walls.






These are just some random photos of the boys playing. These ones are of Ethan (and then Jack) dancing to some music I had playing on my computer. The minute the boys here any noise on my computer they come running to see what it is!

I'll keep you posted on news of Jason as we get it.

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 ...
