Digging to China!

Our excavator!!!!

Ahhhhhh.... TWO! That's all I can say!!! There are days when Ethan shows nothing but his angel self, and then there are other days when EVERYTHING is a challenge. We call it "Ethan's agenda." If our plans don't mesh with "Ethan's agenda" for the day, forget it!!!!!! Exercising independence is great fun until mama has to get somewhere, and Ethan would rather not get dressed, put his shoes on, get in the car or, on REALLY challenging days, each of the above and more by telling me to "wait" at every step of getting ready. UGH. Personality? Don't get me wrong, this stage is a lot of fun too!! :)

Ethan is SOOOOOO looking forward to Anya's appearance in August. He informs everyone about the baby with "no clothes" in Mama's belly. Ethan's "sitta Anya!"

Ethan's FAVORITE saying these days: "Etan eat it ALL up!" (This is, by no means, a promise!!!)

On an entirely different note: Daddy Jesse defends his dissertation Thursday, April 24th! This is his last step to his PHD, aside from actually going through the graduation ceremony! Whoo hoo! We'll have a Doctor Daddy!
