Woopsie!

Well, it has been far too long since I've updated this thing! We're still here! We've been working like crazy the past month, me on a voter guide (www.michiganfamily.org) and Josh has been doing everything from manual labor in the basement to a little side job for a small computer programming business. We're not terribly good at working around the clock, but we definitely survived. Sometimes a big fat deadline is just the kick in the pants we need to get moving around here.

Living on the wild side with a plastic hog.

Getting merrier by the day.

Evie comes to our house one day a week to play with Ethan. Ethan is always a perfect gentleman.

We went to a pumpkin patch with our neighbors.

The best hat ever gifted.

Blowing raspberries takes a lot of effort and the involvement of the entire face.

Nothing is safe from the clenches of the Ethan mouth.

Eating solids. Ethan has a bit of his Daddy's texture sensitivity and can already clench his jaw and refuse anything that is not pureed to the maximum puree-ness. Green veggies make him gag. I don't blame him. I tasted some and I definitely would liken them to a big green pile of dirt with a little heavy grit mixed in.

Ethan loves Zaccheus, unless Z is put in bed with him when Ethan doesn't want to nap. Then Z gets whipped up and down and finally thrown across the bed. That would be Mommy's temper making an appearance.

When we're bored, we dream up uncomfortable ways to hold and photograph Ethan. He's obviously thrilled.
