What a Rip Off

This morning Walter and I were discussing Elizabeth Edwards who was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer to her bones and possibly to her lungs. I was quoting a news show about the survival rates and said, "There's a 25% chance that people with this kind of cancer will live for 5 years."

Ethan happened to be passing by and said, "What a rip-off! They must be really sad."

I couldn't have said it any better.

Eight Years and Two Months Old

Ethan is so unselfish. He loves his brothers with such unconditional love! Daniel tends to be very aggressive and mean with Ethan; Ethan just sits there and takes what Dan dishes out and then hugs him or pats him...amazing! Ethan holds Ben in the morning and when he gets home from school. Then he makes sure to love on him before bed too. What a wonderful boy.

Last week we received a new ceiling fan from a friend and put it up in the boys room. Ethan and Dan really like it. Walter fears we will find them attempting to swing from it...
