Lacrosse Tournaments

So far we've competed in two out of three lacrosse tournaments this summer and they have been so much fun. Our first was the Mayla Tournament following our regular lacrosse season. We played a total of four games and ended with two wins, a tie and one loss.

It's hard to see Jack (#12) but he was playing in his favorite position - attack - and the one that's proven to be the best one for him.

One of the best things about the tournaments has been the team bonding between the games. We've set up tents to keep the boys (and families) cool and to let them hang out together eating, playing games and chatting.

Wyatt has really loved playing with all the younger brothers and sisters.

This was after our last game on Mother's Day. The coaches brought carnations for all the mom's so their last group chant was to the moms.

Our last tournament was much tougher, as we mostly played travel teams that have tryouts and pull from a big group of schools. We are just a rec team but we held our own - even in our losses we didn't go down without a fight. Right now it's more about the experience than just winning. With two summer tournaments we get a full season's worth of playing time back to back.

This is Wyatt outside the high school stadium we played at.

Poor Wyatt wasn't feeling well that weekend. You know it's rough when you fall asleep on a hard bleacher in the heat of an Atlanta May day.

This was the closest I could get to a picture of Jack playing.

We ended up with three losses and one win, but, again, we played really tough teams and we held our own.

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.
