Valentine's Day

Here are a few pictures of the boys from Valentine's Day (and a few from the day or so before). I couldn't resist gettin Ethan in our new toy bucket but then I created a monster, as he wouldn't get out! But he was so cute in there and he was having so much fun!


Here is my Willow House card holder with our Valentine's cards before Valentine's Day. I love this piece, as it gets so much use in our home. Jack liked walking in the kitchen one morning and seeing the cards. He was the names and asked right away who sent him, Ethan and Wyatt cards.




And, of course, who could resist getting the boys wearing Daddy's hat. They loved playing with it (it's Daddy's afterall) and they looked so cute in it.





As you can see from the picture below, it's hard for me to get anything done around the house with my little "helper" attached to me. And he is ALWAYS attached to my leg. Although now that he is taking about 4 steps he seems to be less and less attached, thank goodness!




Our Valentine's Day cookies displayed on my Willow House stand. I LOVE this item too. OK, I love them all, but this one has gotten so much use in our home. It's so pretty, even when there is nothing on it!



Here the boys are opening up their Valentine's Day cards from Nana and Granddad, first thing in the morning before heading off to school. They each enjoyed getting the cards and looking at them.







I love this photo of the boys. How cute are they???

And I love this shirt that Jack's friend's mom made. Perfect for a boy for Valentine's Day.




The boys got an extra treat when they got home from school, as they each received a card from Granny in the mail. They had fun opening up the next set of cards!



And the stickers that came inside for Ethan and Jack!






Here is our display of cards after opening them all up. Now we can enjoy them without them getting in the way on the countertop!

With love from the Cornwell's!

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 ...
