One more sleep

To help Ethan count down the days until Clay gets back, we've been numbering the "sleeps" we have until he's back.  Well, tonight we're finally down to one more sleep.  I guess I'll have to move out of the middle of the bed now!  Just a few pictures of what we've been doing this week to make the days go by quicker.  My angel of a SIL asked Ethan to spend Monday and Tuesday with them and he had a blast.  A lady from church asked Rachel and me to come over and swim and have lunch on Monday with some other girls from church.  Isn't it funny how lunch is always better at someone else's house?  This is the standard Rachel face for this week -


Sunday night we had our monthly small group meeting and chose to have ours at a park and grill burgers.  The weather was actually very nice.  Rachel had a great time befriending every other child there, and Ethan spent half an hour watching the pickup soccer game - I was so proud of him.  Once again you see "the face..."



And today Ethan had his first "gyntastics" class.  Macy had a gymnastics birthday party several weeks ago and E has been talking about it ever since.  So, I decided to take him for a test class at a gym in Fort Worth - they actually have one class a week that's just for 4&5 year old boys.  And they were nice enough to let him join even though he isn't four.  He bounced right out there and didn't look back.  My face hurt at the end of the hour from smiling so much.  He jumped, flipped, ran, stretched, twisted, and bounced his little heart out.  Clay has the good camera with him so the pictures aren't great, but you get the idea (he's in the blue shirt).
