Out And About This Fall

I know, I know...it's been far too long since I've posted last. I need to get on a better blogging schedule but this has been a busier than normal Fall for us so bear with me as I catch up and resume.

 This dog loves the formal living room chairs - especially if he can snuggle up with someone!

 We are always looking for something new and fun to do with the boys. Jason did a little research and found a place in North Georgia where we could climb rocks.

 It was fun to stretch our legs and hike a bit.

 Everyone climbed up the rocks but me.



 Ethan REALLY loved it!

 But the mom in me could only see someone falling.

 The boys could probably do this for hours. I certainly enjoyed the hiking but insisted on getting more padding and proper gear before letting them do more.

 This kid is such a monkey!



 Then it was back to lacrosse. This Fall we had both Jack and Wyatt playing. These photos are from one of Wyatt's games. He was the smallest (and probably youngest) player on the team but he had no fear and would plow through the big kids.

 His coach told us that if kept it up, he should be a really good lacrosse player!

 Following in his big brother's footsteps.


 We have new neighbors a couple doors up that have become really good friends and the boys have enjoyed playing with their kids and especially roasting marshmallows in their fireplace. Hopefully by spring Jason will remove some of our beehives and we can enjoy our fireplace again....


Both of the boys after they each received the dog bone for good plays in lacrosse.

We have our own Stormtrooper!

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 ...
