It has been a while and I am sorry about that. We are having a super busy, but great summer! Here are a few updates on the past month and a half.
- Ethan finally got to meet his Uncle Logan and Aunt Stephanie! My brother and sister-in-law came home from California for a week and we had a wonderful visit with them. We love and miss them lots!
- Ethan also got to spend time with his Uncle Ty and new Aunt Erin. Curt's brother got married here and we had a great time getting ready for the wedding and celebrating with them. It was a beautiful day. We also love and miss them lots.
- We sadly said goodbye to our Volvo station wagon. :( My mom, Ethan and I were in a very minor accident but it was enough to total the car. We were thankful that no one was hurt but sad about the car. I had loved that car! So we joined the mini van club! We have come to love the new van and have really appreciated all the space in it.
- We spent a week at our grandparent's cottage for the 4th of July holiday and had a fabulous time. Ethan is a total water rat and loved being in the lake or the kiddy pool.
- We have also moved! Curt took a new position at Kuyper College (where we both went to college) as their Resident Life Coordinator. He has always wanted to return here to work with this unique community and to have the chance to grow professionally. It was a very bittersweet time for us as we left all we grew to love at Calvin. However, we are excited about the opportunities at Kuyper and are starting to really like our new apartment.
- Ethan finally got some teeth! :) He has two on the bottom and I think he might be working on a few more. It is totally adorable.
- Ethan also recently started "real" crawling on his hands and knees. He also loves to walk if he is holding onto our hands. We know it won't be long until he is running around!! He also figured out how to climb stairs, which is a new challenge as we have a second floor here at Kuyper.
- He also says "Dada" and "Daddy". He makes no noises resembling Mama or Mommy and I am trying to not take it personally! :)
We are soo thankful for Ethan's continued health and development and are really enjoying this stage and the beautiful summer weather.
