HI HO HI HO IT'S OFF TO WORK I GO

Sure there are child labor laws, but we haven't been reported - not yet anyway. ( : Ethan has a real love for water bottles, and he often frees himself from the house to do some "work" in the backyard. Often times that means spraying the fence, clearing bird poop with water at close range (or on turbo spray) from any number of surfaces, spraying the neighbors who may be out relaxing or playing in the backyard and/or our dog Dylan who is typically an unsuspecting and unwilling participant in Ethan's water fun. Tonight, Ethan escaped the house (I always know when he does, thanks to the chime from our home alarm letting me know a door has been opened). I looked out back and he had the squirt bottle hanging from his pocket, was carrying some other tools in a bag & had his shovel - just in case some harder labor was required. I didn't catch the shot I wanted when he began his work, but here he is headed for home after a long evening on the job. Thanks for all your hard work Ethan...check's in the mail.

Due on July 3...next Thurs, so technically she could arrive any day. I've been a little backed up with my blog entries lately, but I'll get on that. ( :

ummm.. CONGRATULATIONS!! I just saw your sister at church today and she gave me the big news. Hope you're feeling ok.

It was so funny to run in to Sarah after all the talk. I was asking Betsy if she knew who that girl was because she looked so familiar...finally when Jill J hugged her and called her Sarah I put the pieces together!

Congratulations on your little girl. I just got your email. She is beautiful. You look amazing! I love the picture where she already has a smile. Ethan seems to already love his little sister.
