Ethan learns to suck from a straw

Ethan probably would've been drinking from a straw long before now if I would've given him the opportunity. But Saturday was the day and he learned the technique in no time. Of course, it helps to give him something as delicious and cold as a chocolate shake from Steak n' Shake to learn from. I wouldn't doubt it if it took him back to the "many" times that he tasted it while in the womb. Oh, the joys of a hot spring day in Florida!

Mowing The Lawn

Here we see Ethan mowing the lawn and pointing out that the tree needs some trimming. His astute eye for fauna and their proper care has not gone unnoticed. He correctly identifies flowers as "Ba...!", while pointing at them.

Do we have a future Lawn Care Technician in our midst? Or is this just a fad? Only time will tell.

Ethan Modeling Backpack

Ethan went on a trip to West Virginia (pics coming) two weeks ago, returning just last week. For the trip, he brought this cute little backpack that he's modeling here.

For the trip, his favorite blanket fit nicely in the backpack.

Ethan's Blocks

Here Ethan's playing with one of his favorite new toys: Alphabet Blocks! He really likes these blocks, playing with them quite often, and really appreciates the gift from Pam. Here he can be seen studying one of the blocks not long before he decided to give it the old taste test!


They were so good, he was determined to show us the wonders of the blocks he held. "Ba..!" I believe was the proper term he used.

First Post

Ethan's Life, the Blog, begins today. This is the first post to kick things off, and it will replace Ethan's old Road Runner site, which is limited to just 5MB of pictures. The goal with this site is to be able to more readily add content to his site for friends and family to keep up with the little guy. As you can see, this blog allows us to post his photos with greater ease than with the original site, which I had to update manually for numerous sections, and for the addition of photos.

The current look is one of the available templates. I will be working to change the look and feel to make it more in the style of our little buddy. Till then...

The Author ("Da..." as Ethan likes to say) is here, for the sake of adding a profile picture (grumbles!)!
