Babymoon to Jamaica

Dennis and I went on our first trip (other than one overnight) without Ethan to enjoy some time together before baby boy #2 comes. We had a great time together, and it was perfect timing! It has been crazy in the banking world recently, so we had a wonderful time being away from it all. The resort had plenty for Dennis to do (he is a very good water skiier and I trusted him to take me out on a hobie cat) and plenty of places for me to rest and read. :) Thank you, Mum and Jackson family, for taking such good care of Ethan! It was hard to leave him but we knew he was having a fabulous time without us.

 
 
 
 

Ethan's 1st School Project

Ethan brought home his first art project from school last week--a pine cone with peanut butter and bird seed on it! Let me just tell you, I would have paid money to see 8 toddlers doing this project together. :) He seems really proud of it, and we hung it together on a tree near the back patio!

 

Ethan's 1st Trip to the Apple Orchard

Cass' birthday was last Thursday, so we celebrated by taking a field trip to an apple orchard! It was a gorgeous fall day and the kids enjoyed every minute of it. The orchard was on the top of a mountain so the view was amazing. (hence the name, 'Sky Top Orchard' I suppose!) Unfortunately the apples did not make the most amazing applesauce that we were hoping for, but it was still a fun outing!

 
 
 
 

Downtime with Daddy and Mommy...

Ethan loves books! They are honestly his favorite toys. If he's quiet while he's playing I'll look over and he's got a book in his lap. His favorite thing to do these days is grab a book, walk over to me, and plop in my lap. Hint, hint!
