Runnin' Wild...

Ethan and Jillian had a play date last Saturday...

Uncle Sean Visits!!!

Last night Uncle Sean came over to visit and have dinner with us!!! He "flew" Ethan around the house like an airplane and he loved every second of it!!! Ethan has been getting to be a shy guy around people - even people he knows!!! But last night he was not at all shy with Uncle Sean!!! Ethan has been "riding" Kait like she is his horse too!!! She gets up fast and he lands on the floor!!! What a daredevil!!!

Mischievous!!!

Ethan is getting into everything these days... literally... He climbs on AND into everything - even the bottom of the oven!!! He also tries to get into the dryer when I am changing the wash loads!!! What a character!!! He constantly makes me laugh!!!

Buddy

Buddy passed away last night... We are all saddened by the loss... We will miss him so much... His favorite thing was to be up north at the cabin - swimming, exploring, sleeping, and going to the neighbors to find his friends... He will always be remembered...

UPDATE...

OK... so we haven't had a new post for a week now... sorry to those who are looking at the blog regularly... Time is just flying by!!! Hmmm... What is new with the little man??? Well, every day there seems to be something... He now likes to snap his fingers when he hears music and dances - SO CUTE!!! Everyday he is beating up on poor Kait more and more too... She just takes it or walks away... He also likes to give her treats, but mostly he likes to tease her with them and loves her chasing him around. He is really turning into quite a character!!! Scott has been very busy with work and school and I am still doing the same thing... Home all week and work all weekend... Baby #2 is doing great - and so am I - I feel so good these days!!! He is growing fast it seems - only about 2 1/2 months to go (hopefully less)... My doctor appointments are going well... only one more appointment and then I have to go every 2 weeks for check ups!!! That is a sign that the baby will soon be here!!! Yea!!! Ethan likes to rub my belly when I ask him, "Where is the baby???" I am hoping Ethan adjusts well to having a new baby in the house... He has no choice, right?!?!?! That is all for now...

Enjoying One Last Nice Day!!!

Ethan and I (and Kait) went out to Mukwonago again to meet up with Grandma & Grandpa Raap, Uncle Luke, Uncle Aaron, Aunt Loree, Alexa, Nathan, Niko and their dog Duke. We went ridin' (ATV's) and ran wild on the last nice day of fall (or so they say...) Kait enjoyed rolling around in some major mud and then enjoyed fetching her ball in the river that borders the land where we go... Needless to say she got a bath when we got home... Ethan is so obsessed with ATV's!!! He just wants to ride the whole time - just like his dad!!! We have so much fun going there!!!

Lovin' Bath Time!!!

Grandma and Grandpa Francis came over last night for a visit and were great supervisors while Ethan took a bath!!! He loves the water!!! Uncle Jake also came and played with me...
