The time has come for Ethan's first day of preschool at our church. We have been anticipating this awesome opportunity for him at the Pecan Street Preschool! Do you think he is ready to go?? If he could only turn the knob...
Once Elmo was introduced mom got away with semi-dry eyes.
Here is Ethan exploring the XOXO's at the park
Papa was over recently and together they colored. What a beautiful masterpiece they made!
We recently ventured to Canyon Lake to be with GiGi aka "Gee Gee" and PaPa aka "Paw Paw." We enjoyed the quick escape and beautiful scenery of the Texas hill country.
Check out Ethan waving to the many deer that were grazing on corn. As you will note, we also dined well that evening. The menu entailed steak, lobster, grilled veggies, potatoes, and stir-fried greens. PaPa is an amazing chef! Look below to see who is just like PaPa reading the paper and watching 'toons.
Ethan and GiGi had a blast on the "neighborhood" play scape.
What a nice day for a stroll around King's Point!
Ethan had a grand time with cousin "Moon" from WI. Thanks for taking the time to stop through during your layover!
It has been a little while since our last post. A lot has happened around our world. We recently took a trip to South Padre Island with our families. It was a direct, 1-hour flight out of Austin into Harlingen and a 45 minute car ride to our destination of the Suntide III resort. What a wonderful time we had! A lot of firsts for Mr. E: first plane ride, first beach excursion, first time riding the waves, building sand castles, and playing in the sand. Check out the pictures from our fun in the sun and sand!
For some, it was the last weekend of summer. The beaches were pretty packed but this provided for lots of people watching!

Ethan had his 18 month appointment and was told by the doctor that he is going to be, "scouted out by Mac Brown" due to his great stats. They are:

"Snurgling" with Daddy
We have recently found the coolest place in town. It is a bounce house called Kidz 'n' Play. We have taken many friends and family and have enjoyed jumping, sliding, and bouncing together! Let us know if you want to meet up for a play date. You cannot beat the indoor gym with over 5 inflatable playhouses.
Wow, that was fast!
GrandBob's birthday celebration
Ethan posing aka working hard to get his new outfit dirty...Boys will be boys!!
Ethan with daddy spinning around fast on the playground.
Here he is climbing up to the tallest slides at a local hamburger joint.
Ethan recently acquired this neat table and chair set from his girlfriends down the street. He is trying hard to master his cooking skills so he can invite them down for a wonderful meal in the near future.
Ethan loves his new riding horse. He has really galloped his way through our home and backyard. The last photo shows him with his cool, Summer shirt thanks to our relatives in WI. What a little monkey he is!
Ethan with his favorite Summer snack, watermelon! Below is Ethan enjoying hanging out with his GrandBob and Nana and his new friend, Elmo.
The last two pictures were taken from a red snapper fishing excursion in Galveston. There were quite a few fish "tales" after that day!
"Wow, where do I start helping out?"
The poppies and amaryllis or naked lad were in full bloom!
Here is a picture of the leek flowers. You will notice the open flowers and developing seed pods. Truly unique.
"What a big helper I have been!"
Here is a picture of our snapdragons out front. Please note that they are no longer in bloom but the sago palm has come back and the mums are showing their true colors.
