Our caged animal



So I had to post these pictures. Meredith took them while I was at school one day. I guess Ethan decided that he didn't want to go up the stairs and pulled the gate closed on himself and preceded to play like a caged animal. In the first picture he looks as if he has been drinking soap and that he is completely hammered. In the second it is like he is monkey. Meredith took him to the Zoo the other day. When they got to the first exhibit Ethan thought that was the point of the entire trip and didn't want to leave. He did have a fun time going around and seeing all the animals. He even got to pet a few of them. Again he thought that was the point of the trip and didn't want to leave the petting area. I don't think that it is a great Zoo but he is only 15 months old and he doesn't know any better.
On to another note. Our house in Sanford is going back on the market in April. We are praying that it will sell quickly so we don't have to carry two morgages. I guess the renters decided to move out. So if everyone could also pray that it sells we would really appreciate it.
Funny story. During lunch the other day one of the guys had a package of M&M's. I think that it is the mini's that come in a little tube. This reminded me of one of Meredith's old roomates (who will remain nameless) who had a funny experience. Keep in mind that this is a good little mormon girl. Her and her fiance used to enjoy these mini M&M's and he would keep them in his pocket. Well one day she saw that he had some in his pocket and asked for them. He said that he didn't have any. She persisted that he did have them and preceded to reach into his pocket and get them. As it turns out he didn't have any in his pocket, and she got quite the suprise. I think that you can imagine what it was. Enjoy

Ethan's animal sounds

We have been wanting to upload this video and share it with everyone. Ethan has learned how to make animal sounds and it is so cute. He is a very smart boy and can usually pick up a sound after hearing it only a couple of times. We hope that you enjoy.

On to another note. Meredith had her surgery and it went great. For those who didn't know after having Ethan, Meredith noticed a small lump in her neck, after having the doctor look at it and running some tests it turns out that because of this lump she had hyperthyroidism. She has been on medication to control it for the last year. We found out that the lump was a benign tumor which we are thankful for. She is an amazing woman. She has been so great about it. I haven't been able to help to much so her mother came and stayed with us for the surgery and then took Meredith and Ethan to Richmond to take care of both of them there. This has allowed me to study for a midterm which is going to be a beast and I am very greatful for her mom to do that for us. With them being gone I have realized how much I need and miss them. I love watching Ethan and seeing him play and laugh. I have really missed Meredith and all that she does for our family. I am a lucky man.
