Boys At Play

 I have a lot of catching up to do...I had hoped to get more done over the holiday's but there was at least one sick person in this house our entire vacation!  Now I've got to spend some time posting.
 I'll start with showing you how Wyatt entertains himself while his brothers are at school.  Just like Jack he LOVES to be outside and is pretty good about playing on his own, although he loves it when the other kids are out there or a dog!!  And just like Jack, he loves playing with construction trucks - building, dumping, scooping...
 But he's also got an active imagination inside.  He is all boy and loves cars and trucks and things that go vroom!
 He was quite proud of his long train of cars lined up and made sure I took lots of pictures of them.
 We started our Christmas decorating right after Thanksgiving this year so the boys could fully enjoy everything.  Jingle James, our Elf on the Shelf, got himself into lots of mischief this year - and Jack and Wyatt loved looking for him everyday.
 While it looks like Wyatt is looking at the elf, he really is eying the M&M's in a bowl on the sideboard.  He loves his candy!!
 But wasn't as fond of the candy canes like Jack and Jingle James!
 Wyatt loves this gun and it always cracks me up to see him carrying it around as it's bigger than he is.
 Here he's got the gun and a shield (hard to see) and is defending me from all the bad guys (he watches Jack play too many video games).
 I'm going to get you!

 I love how well the kids all play together (when they want to).  Here we had a playdate with Savannah from a few houses up.  Even Ethan got in on the action.

 Jason has been painstakingly painting lots and lots of miniatures and Jack has been so anxious to paint his own so Jason finally got him set up.
 And he loved it.
 This is what happens when Wyatt doesn't take a nap -- he passes out with toys still in his hand right around 5pm.
 I tried really hard to find activities to do with the boys every afternoon.  Of course, once everyone got sick we stopped doing so much but the boys really loved making Reindeer Food - which we gave to the teachers for gifts.
 All the extra work with Ethan is paying off, as he really enjoyed helping out and I know it was good for him too.
 Wyatt just wants to be Jack!
 And Jack is a great older brother - helping Ethan and Wyatt.




 I can't believe how big Jack is getting.
Yummy, yummy!
 
 Our final product, made with love by the Cornwell boys!

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.
