Six Years and Five Months Old

Today Ethan is 6 years and 5 months old. I think he's a pretty typical *almost* six and a half year old. He talks a lot, reads well, loves to learn, LOVES to play, is very imaginative and creative, and he can shoot down a slip-n-slide like a champ! He's a really nice boy. We have really been blessed with both of our good children. Thanks to our heavenly father for that!(We both fully expect to reap what we sowed in our youths, thankfully we have not had to harvest any of that yet! -GOD HELP US!!)

Ethan spent Saturday night at Grandma and Grandpa's. He played in the river and with his cousins, Jacob, Seth, and Logan. They ate a lot of icee's and had a lot of fun. He didn't even miss us! He's just so grown up now. That makes me really happy and kind of sad at the same time.

Today Emma told Ethan, "I like you, Ethan. You're my best friend!" It nearly made me cry! I am so happy that Ethan and Daniel have Emma and Addie to play with and grow up with. -Another of our many blessings!

Kids Say the Silliest Things

This evening I was working in the garden and I left the scarecrow on so it was spraying me every few minutes. Ethan came out and was running around trying to make it spray me more and his friend from down the street came in the back yard to play for a little bit. I was working away at all those darn weeds and overheard Megan ask Ethan, "Why are you bald?" I never heard his response, but I thought that was such a funny thing for her to ask! I guess I am so accustomed to seeing the boys and Walter with short, short hair all summer that I don't realize that they do look rather shorn to other people!

I think it shows off their beautiful features so much better than when they have longer, really shiny, beautiful hair to hide under!!


I May Be Bald, But I Sure Can Wink!
