Like Father, Like Son

 * WARNING GRAPHIC PHOTOS BELOW *

We had quite the excitement last night but for once Jason was home when a child had to be taken to the hospital.

The boys were horsing around when all of a sudden a blood curdling scream came out of Wyatt who ran into the room holding the back of his head and crying - blood EVERYWHERE.

Turns out he somehow hit the back of his head on the side table in the living room.

We were able to get the bleeding to stop but it was a very deep wound and a big bump was forming, so off Jason and Wyatt went to the doctor.  Why do these things always happen at night???

 Turns out he needed three staples but everything else checked out fine.

So they bundled him up to keep him from moving.

 He told Daddy that he felt like a burrito!

Once the initial shock of the accident wore off he was in high spirits - as you can tell from this photo - much like when he split his chin open...I'm sensing a pattern here.

 He received three staples without any kind of numbing, as they said that would hurt more, and he didn't even cry!

This little one, I fear, will always be giving me a run for my money. I knew as a baby that he was the one I'd have to watch the most and that he was just like his father!

We have quite the collection of those teddy bears they give out at the hospital but the one that Wyatt brought home last night (shown in the first picture above) is my favorite with the scrubs and the mask! Wyatt was very excited to show it to me.

It was a late night so he got to fall asleep in the playroom. And there is nothing more comforting than the love of a puppy dog!

Let's hope the excitement is over for a very long time.

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 ...
