Preparing for Easter

It's been a rough couple of days for me but I think I'm past the worst of it. I think it was just a 24 hour bug but I was almost convinced that I was in early labor. But I'm feeling pretty good today (of course the 80 degree day helped!) - just trying to take it easy and put my feet up as much as possible. It's hard with having to carry Ethan around everywhere, but I'm trying. And Jason is coming home tomorrow for a four day weekend, so that will help!

The photos above are of how Ethan likes to lay on the floor these days -- to watch TV and to play. I think it's the cutest thing ever!!

Today was Jack's Easter party at school. They had an Easter Egg Hunt before the party and then the parents showed up for the actual party. Ethan crawled right over to Jack and of course, Jack was happy as a clam that Ethan was there.

After they ate they all said a prayer in sign language...

and then sang a song!

Ethan enjoyed the show -- this time he didn't try to direct them, like last time.

Then they did a craft - putting stickers on a cross to take home.

These are some random photos of the boys playing. It was a rainy day and we decided to build a fort downstairs, after they were done playing in Jack's room.

I was laughing at Ethan putting the box on his head!

We've got a busy weekend ahead, with Easter and Daddy being home. Hopefully I will have lots of photos to share. We have a community Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, followed by one at Jack's school. Then Sunday for Easter. Busy, busy, busy.

Happy Easter to you all!

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 ...
