All Grown Up

I took a picture of Ethan on Sunday and I couldn't believe how grown up he looked. Maybe it's because he's finally growing some hair.

They're still there!

Here are my latest pictures. There are still two. Baby "B" was moving around a lot. It was nice to see them and reasure myself that I am indeed still pregnant.

A few more birthday pictures

Here is Ethan waiting to blow out the candles. We had to hold his little friend back. He was determined to beat Ethan to it.

There was so much food coloring in the black and red frosting, his hands and face will be stained for a long time.

His clothes too...
Here he is opening a present from my mom. He loves the Thomas set. Thanks Grandma!

Happy Birthday Ethan!

I can't believe it was two years ago that Ethan joined our little family. It seems like it's gone so fast, but on the other hand I can't remember what it was like without him. Eric and I made a Thomas cake for him. Eric did most of the carving, I made the face and did most of the frosting (which was a lot harder than I thought it would be) It was all worth it when Ethan saw it and said with giddy excitement "Choo Choo!"

In the morning we took him to Toys R Us and let him run around and play. If you let him, he can run around for hours going from toy to toy pushing buttons and dancing. For dinner we ended up going to a friends house for a barbecue, so we turned it into a mini birthday party. Then we went home and opened a few more presents. I think he had a pretty good day. Here are a few pictures for the family.

God exists and He has a twisted sense of humor

Inexorable proof that God exists and that He has a twisted sense of humor. After our first year with Ethan I said "well it could never be harder then this." God heard my axiom, laughed, and decided to take His game to a whole new level. A level that I never even considered. Props for anyone who guesses what this picture means...

Our new little Niece-- Natalia

My sister Ellen just had her second adorable little girl. This is Natalia. Congratulations Ellen and Scott. She's beautiful!
