We missed Ethan's 5 year old check-up when Grandpa got "sick" in December so we finally took him today! Our little big guy has gained 20 pounds and 3 1/4" in the last 14 months! Needless to say we were shocked but not overly surprised! He has gone from a size 5 to a size 8 just since June and is now wearing a size 2 shoe!!! Dr Glass said they usually see about no more than 2" growth over a year! He said that he is entitled to the additional poundage due to his height increase. He is well above the 100% for both! WHEW!
Dr.Glass checked out a few other things and gave Ethan a clean bill of health! and a few lectures on eating vegetables! We will see if that helps! Doubt it! For those of you who know the struggles we have had with Ethan eating and still have on any night when he glances sideways at the incomprehensible food on his plate that actually resembles REAL meat and vegetables, this growth spurt really surprizes!
He was incredibly brave and calm while getting his shots and was happy to report to Dr. Glass that he will be on a soccer team! But that is another post!

Let it SNOW!!
We had a blast playing in the snow this weekend! Ethan and Emelia's great grandma Grey sent the kids new boots for Christmas in the hopes that they would have the chance to use them! Well they worked like a charm! We were out for almost two hours yesterday and Garret took them out again for another hour today! Ethan loves the snow....Emelia, well, she has a bit of the southern belle in her and can only handle soo much!
I was supposed to register Ethan for Kindergarten tommorrow! I know! I know! It will have to wait because all the schools in our area are closed due to the ICE!
Pics of our fun!!... And we do not own a sled.
So I had the bright idea to blow up a swimming tube!! It worked until Ethan got on! A little 10W40 and he was good to go!
TAAADAAA!!!
Last weekend was a weekend of "getting things done"! So I finished my Disney 2009 album, got the kids christmas picture and ethans 5 year old picture done, and finally contacted the person my neighbor used for her blog to "stylize" mine! What do you think???? Much better than the red present bows from before! Enjoy!
