Snow Day 2011

I had planned to do a New Year's post but Wyatt has been suffering from a double ear infection for the past three weeks and he is just now starting to feel better and sleep through the night. I've been exhausted and barely making it through the day. But, now we're on our second round of antibiotics that seem to be working and I'm starting to feel human again. It's amazing what lack of sleep will do to you!


Last night we got about 6 inches of snow followed by freezing rain this morning, so we are enjoying a snow day, which has turned into another one for tomorrow (schools closed). We enjoyed spending the morning outside playing with the neighborhood.

Have I said lately how much I love our neighborhood and our neighbors? I am so happy that we moved here!



Jason and I commented how we have no snow gear for the boys (who would have thought we needed it living in Georgia?) and then our next door neighbor posted on Facebook that she had extra boots and snowpants for anyone needing them. So Jack was able to enjoy the snow without getting cold or wet. And since Ethan basically stayed in our arms, he stayed dry too!



Our front yard is perfect for sledding, and eventually all the kids in the neighborhood made their way over to sled with us. It was nice to visit with the moms and dads while the kids played.



Here is Jack enjoying his first time down the hill.






Here Jason took Ethan down for his first sled ride, which he seemed to enjoy but wasn't too keen on doing it again!

Later, when Wyatt woke up from his nap, Jason took him for a sled ride too!



Some of you may remember this hat from when Jack was little. I loved it on him and it's just as cute on Ethan. I can't wait to see how it looks on Wyatt in a year or two too.



Here is Ethan walking in the snow and ice. He did it, but wasn't to happy about it, or wanting to keep at it too long. But he is walking so much more and I'm very optimistic that he will be walking all the time soon!




Hope you enjoyed our snow day, we sure did. Now we're getting ready for some soup for dinner and an evening playing the Wii in the warmth of our lovely home.

Love to you all!

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

Last Day in Prague

Our last full day in Prague. We had a late night parting the night before and a very early morning excursion but this was the one I was excited for! We did a similar excursion in Italy and loved it too. This was an awesome city bike tour to the Vysehrad Castle. We stopped for photo ops along the way - including here along the Charles River. But it's all fun and games until someone gets stopped by the Polizia! Before we left on our trip I was told to make sure you stay away from the police, so I was surprised to come up the big steep hill to see Jason stopped by one. I guess our tour guides didn't get the permit to ride in the park (too close to kids and a school). We had all just come up a big steep hill and were separated from the front of our group. Jason stopped to wait for me and the rest of the group to make sure we knew where to go. We had three guides, on leading, one in the middle who pulled away from Jason, and then one at the back.
