We played outside today! We haven’t done that in a long time. I hear we’re getting snow tomorrow so I think it will be a couple of days before it happens again.
Ethan loves playing in the sand, raking leaves and running around. He decided he was big enough to walk next to me holding my hand while I pushed Audrey in the stroller on the way to the grocery store. He’s such a big boy! I love him so much. I don’t know if I mentioned this before, but we put his lamp on a timer to turn on when it was late enough for him to get up in the morning. It’s working so well, we changed the time so it would turn on a little later! This morning was the first morning and it worked alright.
We were on our own tonight too. Nathan is doing the server upgrade for the email server at Crown. They have been working on it since 3:00 this afternoon. I really hope it works well. It will be really nice once it’s done.

Audrey loves Ethan’s bed! He let her snuggle with him a little on Sunday. I love these kids!
Our new son
by nathanIt seems that we have a new son! The Ethan that challenged us at every turn seems to have been replaced with another boy who is much quicker to listen and obey his parents!
On Saturday afternoon, he didn’t nap for Nathan at all. When Audrey woke up, Daddy let Ethan come out of his room and he gave Audrey a cookie and chocolate milk. Ethan was very disappointed to discover that his mean father was only going to give him bread and water. I guess he cried for a while. I wasn’t there for it. He still ate all the bread though!
On Sunday, he went right to sleep when we laid him down for his nap. He slept for over 3 hours! That night he also went to bed easily. Same story today. I hope it lasts. I really like it.
I scolded Ethan this evening for splashing water from the tub onto the bathroom floor and he asked me if I still loved him. He really is a sweet child. It’s wonderful to be loved by two incredible children.
World Events
by nathanI’m thinking of doing one post a week on world events. I thought I would kick this off by sharing this article.
I hadn’t given much thought to what it would mean to have the Olympics in China. Reading that article by Chuck Colson was thought-provoking.
