Austin and Ethan...

The Boys...



Happy 2nd Birthday to Ethan!









Austin and Karter playing soccer!
A special thanks to Karter and his parents for paying for Austin's soccer fees.




Aaron and Karter's dad, Kent, were able to help coach each weeks game!
They loved it.









One of our closest friends, Valerie! She loves the boys and
watches them all the time. You can pray for her this summer. She is heading to
Brazil and taking a boat down the Amazon River to work in a tribe. Please pray
for the Lord to accomplish much work with all those involved and for safty.
We love you and miss you Val.



Playing T-Ball in the hallway on the third floor!



The boys have been very healthy lately...
What a praise!



After taking a bath Ethan ate some cookies and milk with daddy!



Recently we took both to the ENT (ear, nose and throat specialist) to have their ears looked at and their hearing tested. Thankfully, they have no damage from all the ear infections and neither need to have tubes put in, as of right now.


They both love our new place but really miss all the activity and students the school year brings.

Austin has started Kindergarten. Both him and his friend Karter are home schooled by Karter's mom, my good friend, Marilyn. She does a great job with them! They home school 3 days a week for just about 2 hours. Austin is learning a ton!

We decided to start home schooling now so that both the boys and us will have a lighter load through out the school year.

Austin misses having a back yard to play in all the time and can't wait for the chance to visit Toledo and go to the zoo.

Here are a few of his favorite things to do...

Play soccer, go to the park and watch Animal Planet. He LOVES to take showers...he can stay in their all day; literally.
Austin's favorite thing to do with his dad is wrestle. When he is not asking to take a shower he is asking to wrestle.

Seeing the boys and Aaron wrestle on the floor always makes me smile!

Ethan has been talking so much more these days. He tries to climb on everything and seems to be fearless.

He is a sweetheart but is also very challenging at times.

He loves to pick up and play with bugs (just like his older brother), go to the park, play soccer and playing tee ball.
He is very active and is usually into everything. He loves to climb up the sink, in the bathroom, and turn on the water and wash his hands. He says its to wash his hands but as we all know its to PLAY and get water ALL over the place.

Waiting for baby brother...
Austin is counting down the days until his baby brother arrives. Ethan is excited too but we think he thinks my belly button is named Brayden.
