Worn Out!

These are pictures of Jess and Ethan sacked out in the chair. This was the only way that Ethan would sleep for more than thirty minutes because of his coughing.

Aaron found us like this in the morning around 7:00, and we didn't even hear him take the pictures.

My neck still hurts!!

Monkeys in a Tree!!

O.K., they are really two wild boys:)

We wanted a cute picture of the boys in the tree at Mom T.'s, but Ethan bumped his elbow going up, and it was all over from there!!

Go West Virginia!!

Uncle Dick and Aunt Nancy gave the boys these awesome jerseys when they were here this summer. I finally got a picture of both of them wearing them at the same time. They love them!!

Thanks again Dick and Nancy!!!

Mom T.'s Sale

We have been working like crazy to get Mom T.'s Sale ready. It was October 4-6. At times I think everyone thought it was not going to happen:), but it did.

Unfortunately, Ethan got sick Tuesday. He had a high fever (104 and over!), cough, plugged up, etc. It was a virus. A long virus. He finally did not have a fever the next Monday!

Aaron got to go help at the sale though, and so did Austin - on Friday. Unfortunately, he also became ill Friday evening. He is finally back at school today - the next Thursday!

Needles to say, Aaron and I are a little worn out from sleepless nights with the boys. Hopefully we will not get it!!

The sale went very, very well. Everything but 3 boxes of little things sold!! She sold her furniture, which were the most important things to get rid of. Aaron, Pat, Lowell, and a couple of Mom's friends helped out. Thank God it all worked out. I felt so bad that I could not be there.

I have not been over yet to see the empty garage, but I just can not imagine all of it is gone.

The pictures are of us working on the sale, the days of the sale, and poor Austin asleep on the bed (that was sold) Friday night - when he started to feel sick.

Bear Bread

I subbed for Jane Jessen the other day. She always leaves a yummy homemade gift for her substitute teachers. I had told her that Austin loves when I sub in her room because he knows he'll get homemade bread of some kind.

So, she left this cute bear bread for Austin and Ethan. They loved it!!
She is such a sweet person!!

...One fell off and hit his head...

Well, not really. The other night I went to check on Ethan before I went to sleep and this is what I found. I don't understand how he can sleep like that!!! He's always moved around a lot at night.

Austin's Soccer Team

Here are some pictures of Austin's soccer team. Aaron is his coach too. They are the Panthers.At this game there were only 3 players, so they were worn out by the end of it!!!

Ethan's Egg From Germany

Ethan's babysitter, Jill, went to Germany with her husband to visit their daughter and her family. She brought back each of the kids a chocolate egg from Germany - with a little toy in the middle of it!! Ethan was very excited to open it up and see what was inside.
