Our first post

So we're going to try keeping a "family blog" in order to better keep everyone up to date on what's going on in our family. We hope we'll be disciplined enough to update it regularly so you'll want to make a bookmark and check in from time to time.

Saturday morning we went to a local nursery that also happens to have donkeys. Ethan was pretty happy to be there when they were changing out their water for the day -- that process interested him as much as the donkeys themselves.

Our new house has a limited number of trees, so we're starting to think about putting some more in this fall.

That evening we tried to wash the cars and let Ethan have fun in the water at the same time. We couldn't remember the last time we washed either car, but we were certain it had been at least a year.

Things were starting to get crazy at this time last year as we were in the selection process for the new house, fix-up process of the old house, and Ella was on the way. I used to wash my car quite often -- with each major life addition it drops further and further down the priority list.

Great idea! Love the pictures. Bet the cars are clean from the two foot level down at least.

Love Ethan with spoon in one hand and eating with the other hand! The kids are going to love seeing all these photos of their cousins!

This is just letting you know we're reading and enjoying the new blog from up here in Illinois.

Something about this picture of Ethan reminds me of his Grandpa Patrick.
