Jason's Surgery A Success

I've been so bad about keeping updated with this blog...so sorry. It's been a crazy few months but we seem to be in a fairly good routine now. Hopefully I can get back to regularly updating this. Although, Jason heads back up to Ft. Bragg on the 25th and it looks like he'll be up there for at least a month before he can get transferred into the home based unit to recover at home. Hopefully it won't be too much longer than the month...


Jason's surgery up at Walter Reed was a success and while he's still recouping and has limited abilities to lift and move things he's doing well.

The trip to DC was pretty fun, considering what we were up there for. We ended up with a lot more time to see the sites. Jason was supposed to have his pre-op appointment all day on the Monday, but was done by 11am, so we got to enjoy DC altogether.

Visiting the new World War II exhibit. It was a very warm afternoon and that water looked so inviting. After this photo Ethan made his way over to it trying to climb in!!



Monday night we headed up to visit my cousin and her family for dinner. This was the boys meeting their second cousin, Lincoln, for the first time. It was so sweet how they all enjoyed each other so much. Lincoln is almost 15 months and was quite the charmer. Both boys LOVED spending time with her.





Christy flew into town Tuesday after Jason's surgery and we expected to leave town Wednesday morning. However, it's the government and it took a lot longer for Jason to be discharged than planned. So we spent Wednesday morning checking out more sites with Grandma Christy.

Here we are at the Lincoln Memorial. Very powerful.



We finally got out of town around 6pm headed for Ft. Bragg, NC. It was a long trip back but we made 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...

My Week

 Jason left last Saturday (the 4th) for his two week Army Annual Training and we sent him off with a nighttime treat before he left.  I love this photo of my boys, as they all look so happy and the small ones look so grown up - especially Ethan.  We couldn't pry that cup of frozen yogurt away from him!!  And, as usual, when Jason leaves all hell breaks loose.  Tuesday night we were all getting ready for bed and I was getting Ethan and Wyatt out of the bathtub when Wyatt slipped and banged his chin on the edge.  Normally Wyatt gets out first but this time I got Ethan and that just drove him crazy.  He was jumping up and down and as soon as I told him to stop he slipped.  I thought he had just cut his lip or his gums as I only saw blood but then he titled his head up and I saw his chin - too much of the inside of the chin.  I got him dried off, and kept a washcloth to his chin but knew I needed to get him to the ER.  But the last th...

Last Days of Summer Vacation

I'm back...it's been a crazy past few weeks but then what's new. We were dealing with tummy issues for the boys last week and after spending each cleaning up the messes all I could bring myself to do at night was lay on the couch! On top of that, I've been working out 3 days a week for an hour and a half at a time and that has been wearing me out. Oh, and I've started a new business selling Willow House so my free time has been limited. But I've been enjoying it and a happy mama makes for a happy family! Now we're enjoying our last day of summer vacation before Jack starts Pre-K tomorrow, which is the equivalent to what kindergarten was for me back in the day. Jack is excited to get back to school and see his friends and learn "big kid stuff," and I'm excited to get our routine started for the school year. Plus Daddy should be home on Thursday and that will help tremendously! I can't believe he's been gone almost two years. It wi...
