Mike got new jeans and shoes for this birthday.
Fun at the museum.
Ethan LOVES books! Every time he wakes up, we sit in the recliner and read. He signs "book" at me if I forget or if he wants to read longer than I do.
Our freezer stopped cooling sufficiently and this is what Gary and I found behind the back panel-yikes!
At Costco!
Cake samples at Costco!
Ethan in heaven at Costco!
On the way home.
Ethan got blocks from Grandma Abegg for Valentine's Day! They stack up taller than he is and then nest inside each other to fit in one box. This is pretty much the only inside toy Ethan has played with the last two days.
Laying on the block:

Stuck, but smiling!
Eating lunch at Costco with Papa. Ethan sat on this bench all by himself eating pizza-such a big boy!
Our new freezer from Costco! After having another freezer, purchased off Craigslist, die early, we decided to go with Costco's awesome warranty. Also notice the cabinets. Over the last few months, we have been installing cabinets from Grammy and Art into our laundry room! More pictures to come when we finish!
Proud face!


This is actually six blocks, a smaller one is inside.
Outside, Ethan loves playing with balls and his cars. Mike's car is temporarily parking in the driveway so that we have room for Ethan's cars. We're working on some reorganization...
Here is a video of Ethan playing with his blocks. At the end he does his sign for ball and book. Mentioning balls and books prompted him to run into his room where he came back throwing balls around the hall.
