Cars Quilt,

It’s finally done, I can’t believe it’s finally done. I want to send a shout out to because without her help the binding wouldn’t have gotten done. Tomorrow we head over to give Ethan his birthday/Christmas present and then on the plane to AZ. woo hoo.

P1010112,

I know some people are wondering what I’m up to now that I have all this free time from work. Well, I’ve been doing a lot. The best thing lately was this weekend. I had Ethan for day on Sunday so of course we hit the pumpkin patch with my friend Julie and her daughter Chelsea.

We didn’t go to Sauvie Island this year, we tried another one. It was so much fun watching Ethan get so excited about things. He loved feeding the animals but the best was the pony ride. I couldn’t believe that we waited in line for about 30 minutes for him to go on the ride. I was so impressed because he was so polite and waited so well I could hardly believe it. After the pony ride it was off to choose the pumpkin. I loved taking all the pictures and watch as Ethan wanted to pick them all but could only pick two. When we were heading to the patch he’d said he wanted a huge one. By the time we pick out the pumpkin he wanted two small ones instead, silly kid.

Enjoy the pictures!!!!

I was scrapbooking a bit today and came across this picture in the process. I love… I mean LOVE this picture.

This is Baylee and Ethan.  Last year, while Ethan’s parents were in Alaska I took care of him for 13 days.  This picture was taken during that time.  Ethan loves Baylee.  I love this picture for some many reasons.  I love it because it’s got my wonderful, well behaved dog being as gentle as can be and letting Ethan give her a kiss on the nose.  Something to note too:  Baylee does not let anyone else kiss her on the nose but Eric, myself and Ethan.  I guess that shows how much she loves him.

The other reason I love this picture is that Ethan is in it.  He’s the sweetest boy in the world. Eric and I had talked about having kids and determined that if we could have a child as great and wonderful as Ethan we might consider it.  I mean Ethan doesn’t have temper tantrums, he’s very sweet, well mannered and a total joy.  I could eat him up.  I love too that he calls me “Aunt Jona”.  I didn’t even encourage it, his parent did.  Ross, Ethan dad, and I are such great friends that we do feel like family. This coming weekend I have Ethan over night.  We’re planning on heading to Corbett for the pancake feed and ride the firetruck.  I bet he’ll have a great time.
