Ethan and Bronco

Every day while I am working, Ethan plays by himself out in the living room or his bedroom. In the afternoons I lay out our big black pillows so that when he gets tired he can just lay on them and go to sleep whenever he wants to. Once it gets really quiet, I know he has fallen asleep and go out to check on him. Thursday afternoon I walked out to see the cat jumping up on the pillow. Usually I would shoo the cat away so he doesn’t wake up Ethan but I thought I would wait to see what happened. I went back to the computer and came out a couple minutes later and this is what I found. I thought it was so cute I just had to share.

 

Luckily our cats have always been amazingly tolerant (and cuddly) with Ethan

Jumping on the band wagon!

  I decided it was time to finally jump on the band wagon. When my sister, sister-in-law, and my cousins have blogs I figure I should get one too (baa baa, to the Hirschi family). If everyone else can do it, it must not be too hard. I thought I would start with a few pictures of our holidays to see how this all works. Maybe I can even get Jake to write on here sometime.  Hopefully I will be able to add something once a week or so, but with house building and all the school stuff we are doing right now who knows!  /Sarah

     Ethan loved carving pumpkins at Halloween. Aunt Emmy was down here and all together (including Jake) we carved six pumpkins with Ethan and I doing most of the cleaning out. He would pull out the guts and say yucky yuck!

      He liked this costume so much he wanted to wear it around the store when we bought it, and when he had it on for Halloween we couldn’t get him to take it off!

  As you can see, Ethan had a great time at Thanksgiving dinner at my parent’s house. He got food all over his face, arms, hair, clothes, and anything else that happened to be within his reach.

    Ethan had so much fun unwrapping all his presents on Christmas morning. He especially loved that screwdriver which he carried around all morning trying to fix everything.
