Midnight moonlight shining through the curtain lace
Paints a perfect picture on your perfect face

One sweet angel sleepin’ in my arms
You are the promise I knew God would keep
You are the gift that makes my world complete

And you’ll never know how much I love you
But I’ll keep on tellin’ you my whole life through


Now I believe in miracles and you’re the reason why
So dream on while I sing you, my angels lullaby

Our New Kitchen Countertops!

Well, this past week we had new countertops put in in the kitchen...they look great!
Next week we will be living in a construction zone as we will be having laminate flooring put in on the main floor....the house is a mess, but I would much rather have it all done at once...

Here are some before - during - after pictures of the kitchen!!

Ethan is 3 months old today!

Well, Ethan is 3 months old today! WOW! He isn't an infant anymore....he's my lil' man! He does so well holding his head and he is getting better at holding things and of course putting them right into his mouth.

We went to the pediatrician and had him weighed - Ethan is now 13 lbs 13 oz. Getting to be a big boy!!

Other than that not much going on....

Not much going on....

Not much to report from this neck of the woods....just wanted to post some new pictures from the last couple of days.

Grandma Jane gave Ethan a little Pooh Bear that jingles....I'll let the pictures tell you how much Ethan loves his new little pooh bear!

Ethan is getting a lot better at holding things in his hands....He likes to hold Pooh Bear and is starting to put his hands on the bottle. He can't hold the bottle on his own yet - but he gets his little hands on it though! This picture on the right - doesn't Ethan look like Tom?

The weather has changed to rain - which is sorely needed. But the hot weather is due back early next week....yuck!

Other than that - not much going on.

PS...Grandparents - if you see some pictures that you might want copies of....just let us know!

It's been awhile....

Wow! It's been awhile since we've posted. It has been quite hot around here this past week. In the 90's - and around here that is WAAAYYY to hot! It's a good thing we bought a one room air conditioner....so we can sleep at night.


Yesterday was very humid and there were several thundershowers. Ethan and I went to Target to get some things for daddy's birthday - and BAM! the lights went out. It was pitch dark. When the lights went out Ethan was sleeping - and then all the kids in the store started screaming and crying....when the lights started to power back up, Ethan was awake....giggling. It was soo cute!


Other than the heat - not much has been going on around here. Ethan is really starting to coo and 'talk' alot! I keep trying to video tape it but everytime I get the camera out - he goes quiet and just stares at it.


He has also discovered his hands. He takes one hand and holds the other and just stares at it....he also will take his hand and touch my face...grab my nose or grab my lip.


He is growing sooo fast....a lady at the grocery store yesterday stopped me to tell me how cute my baby is (of course he is)....and she asked how old. I said 2 1/2 months. She was like OH MY GAWD! You are kidding. My granddaughter is 6 months old and doesn't hold your gaze like that. She said that her granddaughter just started to roll over - I didn't want to tell her that Ethan's been doing that for a few weeks now..... =)

She's not the first person to say something like that....Oh, my baby started to smile at 4 months or my baby started cooing/laughing at 3 months.....Ethan's been doing that stuff for weeks now. It makes me wonder if he is progressing faster than some babies....Ethan being our first - I have nothing to compare him to. And I also know that babies/kids progress at different times/levels....but it just makes me wonder....Hmmmm! =)

Anyway, I hope everyone is having a great summer....I can't believe that it's about the middle of July already. AMAZING how time flys! Keep in touch...we love hearing from everyone! TTFN!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!

Today is Tom's birthday!

Ethan and Mommy put together a cute poster for daddy with balloons and everything. Mommy attempted to make daddy Chicken Piccata for dinner - which wasn't too bad....9-1-1 didn't have to be called. Then we had some ice cream cake - which is Daddy's favorite!

We asked daddy what he wanted for his birthday - gift wise - and he said that he has everything that he needs....Mommy and Ethan!

Happy 4th of July!



Hope everyone has a safe and sane holiday today!

We ended up going over to grandma Jane's for a nice BBQ. Sure was warm today, and it seems as though it's going to stay for warm for at least a week. No rain in sight! Us Seattleites aren't made for this kind of weather...ugh!

Ethan woke from his 2pm nap and we headed to grandma's house...Ethan then laid down for a little while...maybe 15 minutes...and he was up until 11pm. He would fall asleep once we got home, but then a big loud BOOOM! would startle him and he would wake up.

We are hoping he sleeps good tonight. (cross our fingers)

It was a pretty relaxing time at grandma's!

2 month check-up



Yesterday was Ethan's 2 month check-up with the pediatrician and everything is going well! He got 4 shots - 2 in each thigh. OUCH!!! He cried so hard...and as soon as the nurse was done and mommy picked him up - he was quiet. Poor Baby!
He weighed 12 lbs 4 oz and was 24 inches long!

He seems to be in the 60% range for weight and head size - but he is in the 80% range for his height! I wonder where he gets that from??!!

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far....no summer plans here as of yet. Maybe a day trip or two - but nothing too fancy. We probably won't make it out to Florida until sometime early next year - but it sure would be nice to go before then!

No plans for the 4th of July either - Archie seems to have serious issues with the loud noises, so we usually stay pretty close to home during the 4th.

Hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th of July!
