Ethan's First Day on the Bus

Last week was Ethan's first week on the bus and he LOVED it! In fact, every day he likes it more and more. Now, when he sees the bus coming down the street he starts walking out to the street - long before it gets to us - and I have to hold him back!

The picture of the flowers is just because it makes me so happy to look at. I scored a great deal at the store (they were on sale for $3 a bunch) and they are my favorite flower, so I couldn't resist!

Here is Ethan waiting for the bus the first day.

I wanted to get Ethan climbing up the steps but he was too fast for me. So I just got a couple of him on the top of the steps. But he really has mastered climbing up them.

Here is Ethan all buckled up. The bus driver tells me everyday that he gets buckled up and then starts waving out the window. It's so cute to see him in the bus window. I can't believe how big he has gotten.

When the bus started leaving, Wyatt started waving to it, but again I was too slow to catch it on film. So here he is watching the bus leave and then looking at me. I think Wyatt and I will start going for walks after we get Ethan on the bus, now that the weather is nice and spring-like!

Above is Jack waiting for Ethan to get off the bus in the afternoon. He was so excited to see him and ask him about his day and the bus ride. Now that Ethan is walking and able to play with him more, they are really bonding and doing brotherly things together.

Below is Wyatt snuggling with Daddy. So cute!

Finally, I'm posting another picture of one of my Willow House pieces, simply because it looked so good! I hosted a team meeting on Tuesday and used my Gramercy Stand to hold Petit Fours on top and the plates on the bottom. It looked so elegant I just had to share. Anyone that hosts tea parties needs this piece!!

Thanks for sharing Ethan's big day with us!

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...

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...

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...
