Living in Georgia

I will admit there are days when I feel low, dealing with a child who still needs help walking, eating, dressing and communicating, but then I look at these faces, almost always smiling at me, and think, how lucky am I to have these wonderful, beautiful boys in my life. I truly am blessed! Up until a few days ago we had been enjoying the company of Granny Annie. The boys LOVED having her here to play with them constantly, and I enjoyed the extra set of hands to help take the pressure off entertaining them while I took care of a still-recovering Jason. And can I just say how exhausted I am...three young boys and a disabled Daddy is a LOT of work. But I look at these boys and how far they are each progressing and it makes everything worthwhile! Jack is progressing really well at school, Ethan is now taking 5+ steps independently, and Wyatt is pushing to a sit and now trying to stand up on his own. Before I know it they will all be out of the house and I'll be missing these preci...

These are the pictures you get when Jason has the camera! This is the reason we came to Seattle, for my 20 year high school reunion and to be back with my girls. I really can't believe it's been that long but as soon as we all get together, it feels like it was just yesterday. Hard to believe we've been working, married and having babies (some that are almost ready to graduate high school themselves!).... Friday was the grad's only night, so Angie, Coleen, Janine, Michelle and myself went for lunch, mani's and pedi's. Living in a house full of boys it was so nice to get out for some good girl time. Then we came back to my parents house to get ready and meet up with Kelly. After visiting for a bit, we took off to the venue and hung out until the very end! Saturday's couples event was held at The Museum of Flight that evening, but we had passes to the museum during the day, so with Nana we took the boys. Jack, as you can imagine, LOVED it! There was so m...

I'm wondering when my posts will stop beginning with an apology for being so bad about posting on a regular basis. But as usual, life got in the way. Jason had his knee surgery two weeks ago and is recovering well but he can't do anything so I've been taking care of all four of my boys....and I'm exhausted. But Granny Annie is here for a visit so I've been getting some much needed help and a big break! Anyway, here are some photos of our first few days in Seattle. The boys LOVED being at Nana and Granddad's house. Wyatt especially loved the car mat above and kept pulling it over himself! We enjoyed some beautiful fall weather in Seattle and took the boys out and about a lot. Here we went to the Ballard Locks to watch the salmon climb up the fish ladder and watch some boats go through the locks from the lake to the Sound. Ethan looks like such a big boy standing up looking at the fish! We took a stroll along the water, enjoying the sun and fresh air. Jack too...
