Ethan's First Day on the Bus

Last week was Ethan's first week on the bus and he LOVED it! In fact, every day he likes it more and more. Now, when he sees the bus coming down the street he starts walking out to the street - long before it gets to us - and I have to hold him back!

The picture of the flowers is just because it makes me so happy to look at. I scored a great deal at the store (they were on sale for $3 a bunch) and they are my favorite flower, so I couldn't resist!

Here is Ethan waiting for the bus the first day.

I wanted to get Ethan climbing up the steps but he was too fast for me. So I just got a couple of him on the top of the steps. But he really has mastered climbing up them.

Here is Ethan all buckled up. The bus driver tells me everyday that he gets buckled up and then starts waving out the window. It's so cute to see him in the bus window. I can't believe how big he has gotten.

When the bus started leaving, Wyatt started waving to it, but again I was too slow to catch it on film. So here he is watching the bus leave and then looking at me. I think Wyatt and I will start going for walks after we get Ethan on the bus, now that the weather is nice and spring-like!

Above is Jack waiting for Ethan to get off the bus in the afternoon. He was so excited to see him and ask him about his day and the bus ride. Now that Ethan is walking and able to play with him more, they are really bonding and doing brotherly things together.

Below is Wyatt snuggling with Daddy. So cute!

Finally, I'm posting another picture of one of my Willow House pieces, simply because it looked so good! I hosted a team meeting on Tuesday and used my Gramercy Stand to hold Petit Fours on top and the plates on the bottom. It looked so elegant I just had to share. Anyone that hosts tea parties needs this piece!!

Thanks for sharing Ethan's big day with us!

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...

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 ...

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. ...
