Kisses from the Cornwell's

I hope you've all had a nice Valentine's Day. Nothing fancy around here, as I'm getting over a bug and Jason is in Miami for work. But the holiday is mostly for the boys anyway!!

I got them some cupcakes and goodies, and I have a caramel apple waiting for me once the little love bugs get into bed.

We had a crazy morning taking Ethan to the doctor then running several errands, so I was extra nice and let Wyatt have a Valentine cupcake after lunch instead of waiting until after dinner.

He was so cute to watch!!

We don't go overboard with gifts but who can resist a new animal friend, a couple of special candies and a balloon?

It's all about the presentation! Even the simplest of gifts looks bigger and better if dressed up a bit.

Jack had to make his own Valentine card collector box at home for his school card exchange and this is his box with his goodies!!

It's near impossible to get a photo of them altogether anymore so I had to snap this even though Wyatt was crying (Jack was on the step stool with him instead of just standing next to him) and Ethan wasn't looking at the camera. I'll take what I can get!

Then it was time for cards from Nana and Grangrad (this is currently how Wyatt pronounced Granddad).

We got them on the computer for a quick video call before we rushed off to Ethan's therapy and Mom rushed off to work.

But the boys enjoyed their cards.

Then they got their new animal friends. A monkey for Ethan...

...a puppy for Jack...

...and a lion for Wyatt.

Then it was balloon time!

These boys just love to play with balloons!

Sending you all big hugs and kisses on this Valentine's evening.

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 ...
