Last Days of Summer Vacation

 Just a few photos from around the house as we wrapped up our last couple weeks of summer vacation.

 Just being silly!

 My big project was clearing out the old veggie plot and putting in flowers instead. I'm much happier - plus I love the addition of the planter chairs my friend made for me.

 Jack had his first sleepaway camp in July - four days at lacrosse camp at Berry College; about an hour NW of us.

 His first taste of dorm life - and he LOVED it!

 His brothers had fun too!

 His North Paulding lacrosse teammates.

 Ethan has really taken to his chore of unloading the bottom half of the dishwasher (Wyatt does the top). Guess it's time to find more for him to do around the house.

 Wyatt and his collection of whales.
I love that he still loves his animal friends.

 Of course plenty of time was spent at the pool!

 Jason set up a booth at our neighborhood festival to sell our 7Hills Honey.

 We spent one afternoon at the skating rink with Wyatt's friend Sam, since they enjoyed their field trip to the rink at the end of the school year so much.


 Ethan really loved the climbing area.


 By the time we left, Wyatt had gotten pretty good at skating.

 Nothing beats curling up with a good book.


 And chilling with your puppy dog.

 These two little ones were getting a bit stir crazy by the end of summer vacation.

 Wyatt definitely takes after Jason and his artist talents.


 We spent a quick afernoon at the skate park so Jack could get a little skating in. While there Ethan conquered his fear of this bridge. At first I had to carry him over, then he scooted on his bottom, and then he walked it.

 Of course I couldn't get a photo of it.

 Way off in the distance you can see Jack on his skateboard.

 Wyatt is definitely my monkey and always climbing to the top of something!

 After the park we stopped to get the boys a fish. Jack's is Dragon...

 And Wyatt's is Blue Fish Warrior.

 With Granny and Grandma coming into town to watch the boys while Jason and I took a business trip, I had to clean up the guest room (which tends to end up our throw everything we don't need in there room). I came across this old toy of Wyatt's and he's had fun ever since playing with it. Rockem Sockem Robots.

 It's getting real - we had our Meet and Greet with the teachers and then off to get frozen yogurt to celebrate the end of summer and the start of school.

 But not before a few more days of playing.

 Seriously, this kid needs to be in gymnastics!

 Granny came into town first and we were able to take her to her first lacrosse game - watching our hometown Atlanta Blaze!

 Photo bomb from Jack's lacrosse teammates!

Both boys came home with a game ball - awesome night for everyone!

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 ...
