Its been tooo long.

Ethan got caught destroying(enjoying?) a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich.

When you notice that your last post speaks of summer being over, and you're staring Autumn strait in the face, its been too long since the last post...

So here it is. Fall. Halloween has come and gone, so now we can get to the BEST HOLIDAYS! (sorry Wren) :)

We love this season and all the fun things it has to offer! Starting with the fall leaves, starting to bundle up and wear hats and coats.. Ethan got his first pair of gloves, and it was so funny watching him try and get his fingers into all the holes...

I really hope it snows a lot this winter. Ive heard that it may, because it was so very mild last year. HERES HOPING!

We have been so blessed to find a bigger home. It is new and clean and has more room than we can fill! we are so excited about it! Im sitting next to the awesome gas fireplace as we speak.. :)

Ethan is growing and changing faster than we can believe. Every day he is learning new words and expressions, and his sense of humor keeps us laughing! He loves reading books and going on walks. He like to mimic our words like a little parrot. He also decided that tantrums were fun, and we are working through it one day at a time. Sometimes if we look at him wrong, he falls apart and its difficult to determine the cause of his frustrations. He is teething molars now, and so sometimes he will cry without any reason other than pain. But we are working through it, and trying to help him communicate what he wants or needs without whining/screaming/yelling.

We took Ethan to the pumkin patch for the first time last month, and he really enjoyed the hay ride.. the corn on the cob, and crawling over pumkins with his cousin Jason.. Were looking forward to Thanksgiving next, and fun wintery things to do, like going to see the zoo lights!

On another happy note, Josh was overseas for the Airforce reserves, and we are very happy and excited to have him home safely!

Hope everyone is having a totally blessed fall season!
