Easter Egg Hunt


Ethan had a blast at my parent's annual easter egg hunt. It was so much fun watching Ethan pick up the eggs and put them in his basket. Of course, he only got a couple of eggs because he was to show us each egg and maybe play with it. There were lots of eggs out there, but the kids that were a little older understood something that Ethan didn't; get as many eggs as quick as possible and play with them later. In fact, after the hunt was over, he was sitting by another kids,playing with his eggs and ended up giving his two eggs to that kid. Fortunately that mother told him that he had enough eggs and to let Ethan keep his two. At least he was sharing.
























































Ethan was a big help filling plastic eggs for Grandma & Grandpa Gifford's annual Easter egg hunt. Actually, he mostly played with the eggs and candy, but every once in awhile we could get him to put a piece of candy into an egg.

Little Helper


Ethan is becoming quite the little helper. He always wants to be right in the middle of what I am doing, so he's learning to use a wash rag to wipe off counters and even sweeping with the dust mop or the swiffer.


Things that Warm a Mother's Heart

The other day Ethan was playing when all of a sudden, he left his toy, ran over to me, gave me a big hug and kiss than ran back to play with his toy. He did this about three times that afternoon. It's time like that that make it so rewarding to be a mom.
