Ethan's Birthday and Pottery Painting

The last couple of months have been good. Ethan had his birthday on February 13. He had a really good time. He got another engine for his train set and a new bike. He was very happy. They both are growing like weeds. Hannah is big enough now that she does not have to have a back on her booster set. I want to cry almost every time I think about her growing up.

I have pictures of Ethan's party, our new swing set, and us painting pottery. Enjoy.

Two Months

I can't believe it has been two months since my last post. The kiddos are doing great. Ethan's speech is coming along well. We are able to understand more of what he says now. He is still enjoying pre-school. He is a silly little boy. He makes us laugh everyday. He is all into trains at this time. He birthday is coming up on Feb 13. He will be 4. It will be a train theme.

Hannah is a sassy, sweet princess. She likes to remind her Daddy that his princess is calling him on her play cell phone. Last Saturday Daddy decide to take his princess to have her nails painted. Oh, he didn't know what he started. they were cute when it was done. They were pink with white dots on them. I told her that we would go have mommy daughter day this spring and get our hands and feet done together. That is all she is talking about now. She already has her colors picked out.

I think Daddy is sad that she is growing up so fast. I think she has a small crush on Mike Rowe from "Dirty Jobs". Daddy says she is too young for thinking boys are cute.

UPDATE

It has been awhile since I posted anything. The kiddos are keeping me busy. Greg is working a second job in the evenings at Wal-mart. That leaves me at home getting the kids fed, ready for bed and working on Ethan's speech.

Ethan's speech is slowly getting better. You are able to understand more of what he is saying. It is hard though not to get discouraged since the progress is slow. My sister Barbara had a friend advise me to video tape him every two months to see the progress that he is making. I have started that. Here are pictures of them both doing their homework. Ethan is getting pretty good at tracing his name.

I have a cousin who had a heart transplant the day before Thanksgiving. She is 19 years old. Her name is Amy Overton. Please keep her in your prayers as she is recovering. This was a wonderful Thanksgiving gift for her and the family. Also, pray for the family of the 18 year old male that she received the heart from.
