Kovall News: December 2013
http://kovallnews.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 29, 2013. You enter the park under a tunnel of red lights. AJ and I met while working at Kennywood in 1997. I had just graduated high school, and he was a cocky undergrad. We started dating in 1999, and we have many fond memories of our time at the park. We still have some wonderful friends we made while working there, so it is always fun to go back and see how things have changed over the years. 14 years later, where it all began! Jack had no interest in riding (which was odd),. But he ...

Kovall News: Ethan Is Six!
http://kovallnews.blogspot.com/2014/06/ethan-is-six.html
Saturday, June 7, 2014. Last Friday, at the end of a very hectic week, we celebrated Ethan's 6th birthday. Six! I can't believe he is that old. Almost a first grader. I remember every detail of my pregnancy with him (he never stopped moving), every detail of his birth (three weeks early via c-section since all that moving got him stuck sideways - AND he almost had to be delivered on the side of the road since he was in such a hurry.), and every day of his life. E through the years :-). Subscribe to: Post...

Kovall News: March 2014
http://kovallnews.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 30, 2014. Happy Birthday, AJ! We celebrated AJ's 30-something.birthday this weekend. He already got his 'big' gift from me about a week ago - Mr. Fitness wanted a Fuel Band from Nike, and he has been wearing it since it came in last week. It tracks his steps, calories burned, etc. It's a cool little piece of nonsense, but he's happy with it :-). This picture shows WHY he has become Mr. Fitness ;-). Here's to 37 more :-). Jack was not pleased we were singing. Hilarious. Monday, March 24, 2014.

Kovall News: Picture Day!
http://kovallnews.blogspot.com/2014/05/picture-day.html
Sunday, May 25, 2014. We are enjoying some glorious summer-like weather. We've spent a ton of time outside this weekend, which is getting us in the yard-work frame of mind. The boys are in their glory - playing in the sandbox, swinging on the swing set, and coloring all over our driveway with chalk. We've taken many walks, kicked many balls, and pulled many weeds. We are ready for summer! They were so exhausted on Friday after playing outside. Jack got a 'gentleman's haircut.' Even though,. May 3 - (E!

Kovall News: August 2013
http://kovallnews.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 27, 2013. We survived Kindergarten, Day 1! I was so worried that I would be an emotional basket case (I've been crying about it off and on for about two weeks, so…), thus causing Ethan to melt down, but all went smoothly. His teacher sent this home for us to decorate for her classroom. I thought it would be fun to see how his writing changes throughout the year. Ethan was ready to go this morning in his cute outfit. Seriously - just a little man! The kids had a nice picture to color when ...

Kovall News: September 2013
http://kovallnews.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 24, 2013. I cannot even believe it's about halfway through the first grading period already - progress reports go out next week! With Ethan in school, training for the half marathon (one month away! And job preparation, I have just had NO time to update the blog (or clean, or cook…). We've been busy every single night - we are starting to feel like true Kovall's. Watching a movie together. Reunited after a school day. He's learning like crazy - his handwriting is really improving, and ...

Kovall News: April 2014
http://kovallnews.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 21, 2014. We didn't have any fancy, pastel outfits, but we had a fabulous day nonetheless. The Easter Bunny did an excellent job on the boys' baskets this year. Lots of books, Legos, crafts, clothes, and planets. No junkies or loads of candy. Mommy and boys were happy. In fact, before bed, Ethan said, "I really have to thank the Easter Bunny. My basket was awesome! Nicely done, Bunny. Bunny had to put the baskets out of Ethan's reach. What could be better? His favorite gift - a planet book.

Kovall News: January 2014
http://kovallnews.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 25, 2014. Living the Active Life. I couldn't be prouder :-). It's blurry, but it's the best I could do on my phone through the window! We also started his tumbling and trampoline class last week. Let me tell you, if ever there was a class designed exactly for Ethan, this is it. He was timid for about two seconds. After that, a slow giggly smile was on his face as he looked around at his classmates during stretching - you could literally see him thinking, "I get to do this? For J, it wou...
