Busy Fall Weekend

 We have hit the perfect weather season in Georgia.  We are cool in the mornings and evenings and warm in the afternoons -- perfect for getting outside to play.
 We got Wyatt a little three wheeled scooter so that he could play outside with Jack and all the kids in the cul-de-sac.
 Jack enjoyed being the one to teach Wyatt how to use it.
 Ready to roll.
 Ethan enjoyed being out with his brothers but sidewalk chalk is more his speed.  I tried to get a photo of him playing but as soon as he saw the camera he made a beeline to see what picture was taken.

Saturday we headed up into the mountains to visit Burt's Pumpkin Farm to get our pumpkins.  We have so much fun at this pumpkin farm and they have a great selection to choose from.
 Loading up to find our pumpkins.
 Think I'll take this one!
 Wyatt thinks he's found the perfect pumpkin.
 Or maybe that one.
 Jack has a suggestion too!
 Two little pumpkins...
Now three.
 I love my boys.
 Jack was a big help for Daddy.
 All hands on deck.
 Family photo time.
 Look at that smile?  And look at those cool white and blue pumpkins!
 After all that pumpkin gathering it was time to cool off in the river.
 And, as usual, Wyatt is not far behind Jack.
 But all I could see was a little one falling into the water, so Daddy helped Wyatt across.

 Closer up to the front door.
 Where did that little pumpkin come from???
Jack got an air pellet gun for his birthday so Jason has been teaching him firearm safety and how to properly use a gun.

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 ...
