Happy New Year

Friday, January 8, 2010

This year I have resolved to take more time out and write about our little family and share our news with loved ones.

As 2009 came to a close all I could think about was how much Ethan has grown and how much more he can do this year as compared to last. He now wants us to read him books ALL the time and even grabs our hands to hold the books and turn the pages. He has entered a very cute, silly stage where he puts oven mittens on his hands to pick up his dropped crayons and says "Whoa!" when seeing the backyard covered completely with snow for the first time.

As much as I love seeing what he is going to come up with next, I have sadness that yes my baby is growing up. He is so independent and desperately wants to do everything by himself like getting into the van or leaving mommy and daddy behind without a second thought. When we visited a friend's church Ethan trouped into the two's room without batting a eye. I guess I should be happy he is so well adjusted.

I hope to share more of our family's news this year as adventures await us. For now here is a picture of my handsome boy, his first winter....


and this winter.....
