What a blessing!

On July 1st we had Ethan blessed. Isn't he a darling all dressed in white?

We really appreciated those of James' family who came to join us for the event. We had a great time while they were here. At first we thought there wasn't really anything to do in Columbus... but as we discovered we were wrong. We headed off to Slate Run Living Historical Farm. It is farmed like it would have been in the 1880's.
I don't think they had cell phones back then, but as you can see the cell service was incredible! Possibly, the only one having a real conversation was Dad.

After walking the path to the farm the boys found some old style toys. James and Kenley had fun racing around me on the stilts. We also enjoyed ring toss and pushing around these old lookin' wooden hula hoops. Everyone had a blast. Old Bess even enjoyed the beautiful sunshine.

The greatest surprise of the weekend was Ethan's hair loss. He went from a full head of hair to male pattern baldness in just a few days. Hate to say it, but now he just has a weird looking swirl and a mullet. Yikes! You will be glad to know, however, that the mullet seems to be falling out.

In addition to his mullet loss he is gaining great strength. Just the other day he intentionally punched his lady bug. We were so excited! He is now reaching for things and trying to roll over. Sorry buddy just not quite big enough for that yet. He sure does try though.
