Lacrosse Win for Jack

Ah lacrosse season, and the return to my happy place!

This past weekend was Jack's first game.

It was supposed to be Wyatt's first game too, but the other team couldn't make it so it's postponed until a later date. But he was able to amuse himself with his skateboard and the younger sisters of Jack's teammates. We've all been together now for so long that it's like a big extended family!!

Sometimes Ethan joins in on the running around and playing, and sometimes he just wants a quiet place to watch his iPad. He did enjoy hanging with the dogs that showed up with a family.

This year Jack was selected to be the Team Captain. He didn't want it, at first, as he didn't want all the attention on him, but I think he's warmed up to it.

Here he is as a midi. He really wants to play the X position for Attack, but he's one of the better players and they need him here. And he proved himself by winning several of the faceoffs.

He's #12 in the middle.

We played our toughest team, the always good Allatoona. It's always hard to start your season off against the best team, but even though it was a blow out (15-0) the team played really well together (especially considering all the new players we have) and Jack played his personal best.

The highlight for us Cornwell's came after the end of the game when the Allatoona coaches sought us out and asked if Jack would like to play with them for Box Lacrosse this winter when the fall season is over. They said they all really noticed how well he played and how far he had come over the past year and he would be the only person outside of their team that they would ask to join them.

Jack has been playing against them for several years now and has attended a lot of camps with the Allatoona guys this past year. It was such a boost for Jack to hear that someone else noticed how much he has improved. We are beyond thrilled for him to know that all his hard work this summer with all the extra practices and lacrosse camps paid off. Hopefully this will stick with him and he will truly understand how his efforts will benefit him.

Don't mind Jason and I over in the corner beaming with pride!

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.
