Around the House and Visiting with the Grandparents

We are slowly getting our formal living room complete. After finding the couch a few weeks ago, we found the perfect rug for the room. We have picked out a beautiful sideboard to go along the wall between this room and the kitchen that we hope to get in the next couple of months. Then a few lamps and we'll be done! I'm so happy with the way the room has turned out and can't wait for the boys to get a bit bigger so all the toys can stay upstairs!

I have been having so much fun playing in the dirt and adding some much needed color to the front of the house. I now fully enjoy my front porch and feel that it is a very welcoming entryway. I love sitting out here watching the boys play in the front yard and in the cul-de-sac.

Jack had fun getting our new sofa and bar stools delivered ... he sat in each new items as it was brought in! The room feels so much warmer and inviting now that we have four bar stools along the counter. I envision three little boys in the very near future doing their homework up there while I'm making dinner.

I love fresh flowers in the house and have been using lots of my Willow House product to display them!

Don't you just love the fuzzy hair on Wyatt?!? He desperately needed a hair cut and I can't believe Jason actually went along with me in not getting his hair cut until he turned 1

We had so much fun having Grandma in town, followed by a visit from Nana and Granddad. The only one missing was Granny! Hopefully we can her here soon....The boys love having their family here.

Wyatt just loves to be outside and his favorite thing to do is slide. I just wish he could climb up the ladder and slide down by himself, like Ethan.

Nana always brings her iPod game with her when she visits and the boys love playing on it. It's so cute to see Ethan watching Jack play. He picks up on everything, as you will see him below playing the games too!

So cute!!!

Now the big thing is to go out into the driveway and ride on the tricycle. We're getting close to the Big Wheel for Ethan but his legs are still just a tad too short.

But both he and Wyatt LOVE to ride this. We'll go around and around on this thing. Wyatt will even try to push it himself...

We had such a nice visit with everyone!

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.
