Our Myrtle Beach Vacation!
(We returned from our vacation several days ago, but I have been so sick and couldn’t stand the thought of getting out of bed, much less updating this blog! I am still in bed, but I am finally well enough to post about our vacation) We had such a blast! Since we live 13 hours […]
How Cute!
I just had to share this picture. Too cute!
Magnets
Recently, Ethan discovered how magnets work. The side of our refrigerator is covered in those big letter magnets for him to play with and he has figured out which side of the letter sticks to the fridge. His new obsession is walking around with a letter in his hand, trying to stick it to everything […]
Dutch Wonderland
Oh My Goodness! We had such a blast today!!!! We (Garrett, Hayley, and Ethan) went to Dutch Wonderland today. Dutch Wonderland is an amusement park specifically made for the younger crowd, meaning no loop-de-loop roller coasters, no mind-bending/gravity-defying spinny machines. Just good ole fun!! There are trains to ride, cars to steer, ferris wheels to […]
For the Worried (Grandparents)
I totally forgot to put the website about Sensory Processing Disorder in the last blog entry. So, here it is for all those that might want to look more into it… (ahem… Grandparents, mostly) http://www.spdfoundation.net/ Oh, and by the way, while Ethan’s tests showed that he is dealing with all of this, it also showed […]
Sensory Processing Disorder
So, Ethan has been diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder, sometimes known as Sensory Integration Disorder. As much as Garrett and I are sad about the diagnosis, we are also relieved because it means that Ethan will be getting the help that he needs. It is not be something that can just be “fixed”, so it […]
We Have Been Busy!
It seems like I haven’t had much time this summer to post a new entry on this blog! Let’s see what we have been up to… Gymboree ClassGymboree is a really fun place to bring kids. It is a scheduled time each week that is filled with songs, dance, exercise, socialization, and just plain fun. […]
Bye-Bye Stimulus Check!
We were so excited yesterday when we got the mail. Sitting right on top of the letter pile was the good-ole stimulus check from the government that we have been so patiently waiting for. Free money! Woo Hoo! It was so relieving to see such a big check, especially when we need it pretty badly. […]
Clap, Clap, Clap!
Ethan FINALLY started clapping his hands after many months of us trying to get him to do it. Here is video proof:)
Swim Class Pictures!
Okay, so our camera wasn’t cooperating today, but I promised some swim class pictures and here are two of them. Not very exciting, I know!
The Party!
We all had such a blast at Ethan’s First Birthday party. The theme was “Barnyard” and it was a fun time! It ended up being quite a good turnout of roughly 35 people… thank goodness it didn’t rain! Here is the cake I made for all of the guests: Here is me giving a cheesy […]
Ethan’s Birthday
(So, I have barely had time to post his birth story the past few days… Quite indicative of my life this time last year!) Wednesday, June 20, 2007: Garrett woke up early and went to my mum’s house, which is about 50 minutes away, to finish painting her room. I slept in, but woke up […]
This Time Last Year…
I can’t believe it has almost been a year. I can vividly remember this day last year. Garrett and I had no idea that Ethan would make his appearance tomorrow night. Our baby wasn’t due until late July and we had no plans on him coming this soon. It was a Tuesday. Garrett was at […]
