Yesterday was a beautiful day!!! It was sunny and warm and perfect.
We woke up and knew we had to spend the day outside. Fortunately, our friends Ashley and Brandon called and had the same thought. We ended up playing at the park for 3 hours!
Lilah-bug was so happy to be outside! She was all smiles. I just love that happy little thing!
Ethie's favorite thing is the merry-go-round. I think he was on there for an hour! It was crowded and he kept falling off, but he loves it!
After he finally got tired of that, Ethie spotted some guys playing soccer in a field. These were not kids; they actually looked like serious soccer players. But being Ethie (fearless), he walked right over and asked if he could join them. Pretty soon they had him playing goalie and running after the ball and blocking and he was in heaven! (James kept saying he was never that interested when he was on an actual team.) But he was loving it and he got lots of good exercise!
I would have never done something like that (walk up to strangers and invite myself to play) when I was his age and it just amazes me sometimes that he is my child! I am always so proud of him for being so bold and confident and courageous. I know that he will be able to do wonderful things with that outgoing little personality of his!
Here he is, still smiling, after a battle wound.
Go Ethan!
Wow... what a gift, to share this day with all of you. Lilah looks so happy, and we continue to admire Ethie so much for his eagerness to jump right into life. Hope he's over his wound (Jeanette suggests a "large bander") and that you are all enjoying this beautiful day!
