    Hi Everybody!

    I am really upset right now because I just wrote a loooong journal entry and somehow hit the yahoo button and erased everything I had just written for you guys. Now I get to try and write it again...it is not as good the second time!

    Greg and I both went back to work today...so Ethan had to go to daycare. We are taking him to the daycare on Seminary campus. It is a great daycare. They had a sign on the door saying "Welcome Ethan". His teachers are very nice. His lead teacher is actually from Springfield, but we do not know her. I did pretty good dropping him off today. I know it will be harder and harder the older he gets.

    Ethan has his own crib at the daycare. They also have us bring in 2 pics of Ethan and 1 pic of us to make a little scrapbook page to put over his crib. When I went to pick him up he was chillin in a bouncer fast asleep. They have like 4 bouncers and 6-9 floor mats to play on in his room. When we go to pick him up, we have to grab his sheet that tells us when he fed, wet/dirty diapers and when he napped that day. His mood on the sheet for today said "Happy!" The teachers said he was a really good baby. That is good to hear! We hope he stays that way. He did a great job and loved his new classroom.

    At Home

    Ethan is moving a lot more now. He loves his new play mat that we bought him last week. He constantly kicks his feet and moves his arms while he is laying underneath it. We give him some tummy time everyday, and he really likes that till his face gets smashed to the ground. Then he gets a little fussy. He is so much fun to watch. Greg and I just lay next to him and just stare at him and play with him. He also has started to plump up a little bit. He is starting to fill out his legs, arms, belly and cheeks. He is going to be a strong little boy.

    Please pray for Ethan and his new adventure at daycare. Pray that the teachers will monitor him at all times, protect him and take care of him. Pray also for me that I make this transition smoothly. I know I will be sad, but hopefully this is just a short term event.

    Oh...Ethan has started to coo (thanks sue for the correct spelling). Anyways, Ethan has stated talking back to us in sound...haha! It is so cute. He also punches us with his out of control arms and has figured out he has a tongue, but doesn't know what to do with it except for sticking it out all the time. We love Ethan so much and can't get enough of him ever. I could stay at home and hang out with him all day and not do anything else or even go anywhere else. Greg and I have so much fun with each other too while we are hanging out with our SON!

    Bye for now!

    Aunt Kae:  It is good to hear about your adventures. Things sound like they are progressing in a normal pattern and yes, it is difficult to send the kids to daycare. The prayers help, though! Let us know how things go when Thomas arrives next week! :)
