Play Date


Here are a few photos of Ethan playing during his speech therapy session today. He was so cute playing with the beads that I couldn't resist getting a few snaps.

Ethan crawled over to Stephaine's bag, pulled the box of beads out and then dragged it over to her, hit the top of it and attempted to say open! It was really cute.




Then this afternoon we headed out to a new play place for a playdate with some of our DS friends. This place is called Little Bears Indoor Playground, specially designed for kids with special needs. But it has enough to keep "typical" kids interested too.

Jack played hard with Carson while Ethan had fun playing with Addison and Makenna. And of course, us mom's had a great time catching up and visiting.


We all really liked this place and the kids had a BLAST! I haven't seen so many smiles or heard so many laughs in a long time. I'm happy this place is close to home, as I fully intend to come back on a regular basis!







I truly feel blessed to have met so many wonderful people through Ethan. I've made great friends and I hope Ethan feels the same way. I know Jack has made friends through Ethan too, which is great. While he may have challenges in life (what kid doesn't?) he had made my life so much richer and I am so thankful for my boys!!!

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 ...
