Weekend Update

I'm having storage issues with my photos so I don't have a lot of pictures to share until we get my hard drive figured out and the photos moved over. Until then, I'll probably be blogging few and far between. Or without photos!

Anyway, we got new chairs delivered this past week. At first I thought it might be too much for this room, but now I REALLY love having them in here. It feels cozy.

We had a nice start to the holiday weekend. Jason got home early on Friday (about 2:30p) and we have him home until Tuesday night. We had a birthday party this morning and we're hoping to hit the pool sometime this weekend, since it just opened, in between the forecasted rain showers.
This photo is a picture of Ethan during his speech therapy with Stephanie, his therapist. He's been making a lot of new sounds lately too!

Not only that, but he's been pulling himself a lot too. Mostly he's pulling up onto his knees to look into the toy boxes but every now and then he'll pull up on to his feet. It's so exciting to see.

Jack woke up this morning a bit stuffed up, so I asked him how he was feeling, and this was his response: "My sniffer is not working properly. All that comes out is snuffles. I keep trying to smell stuff but it's not working." I just love the things that come out of his mouth.

I hope you all have a fantastic holiday weekend!!! Cheers to all those who have sacrificed for and have given service to our country.

Beach Days

I have impressed myself by getting these pictures posted early today by taking advantage of Ethan's nap and then Jack playing with him! Just a quick note to update everyone, today we met with Jack's preschool teacher and saw his classroom. He's very excited to start school, which I JUST now realized is NEXT Tuesday, not the Tuesday after Labor Day. Wow, it will be so strange to have him gone 3 hours, 3 days a week. But Ethan will love the one on one time and I have volunteered to be a class mom for a couple of their class parties. These are photos of our day trip to Wrightsville Beach just outside of Wilmington, NC. I really loved this area and the boys had a great time playing in the sand and water. It was about 100 degrees that day. I love these photos of Jack and Ethan together. You can see how much these boys love each other. I'm going to have to get these framed! Ethan was having a great time pulling up on Daddy and then looking around to see what he was d...

 We have traveled around the SE for lacrosse tournaments in the past but this year we had the opportunity to travel to Denver, CO for one. I think it was one of my favorite. We tried to make it a family vacation as well, so we traveled in early the day before and spent some time exploring.  We headed down to Rock Park in Castle Rock and did a little hiking.  See that big rock in the background? Yup, the boys climbed all the way to the top. Ethan and I made it to the base of the rock while Jason, Jack and Wyatt climbed up top.  Ethan and I messing around waiting on the other boys.  Photos of the boys up top.  Our first game was an evening game, so we had most of the day to explore and get used to the altitude (which definitely got to the boys once they got on the field). The fun part of having good friends on the same lacrosse team is you get to explore together. We all drove up to Red Rocks to expl...

Ethan's Eye Appointment

We had Ethan's first eye appointment this morning to look at his lazy eye. And, as usual, he is proving to be amazing! The doctor gave us some really great news. He said Ethan appears to have a bit of farsightedness but that it's fairly common for this age and he sees no need for glasses. Both of his eyes are healthy on top and bottom and that the lazy / cross-eye is fairly typical for Down's babies. At this point, he sees nothing that needs to be dealt with, as it's not a constant issue and he seems to correct himself pretty quickly. We'll go back at the beginning of October to have his eyes looked at again, unless we see any dramatic changes between now and then. But the doctor seems to think he'll be just fine and it may even be something he grows out of. Jason and I are relieved that there is one more typical Down's issue that we don't have to worry about as of yet! We're looking forward to a fun filled weekend that hopefully included some ...
