Ethan made a craft today. As we've already established, art is not my strong point. The poor child has to make up his own art curriculum.

Meet "Uncle Josh" by Ethan.

I would like to point out that the things hanging out of Josh's mouth are teeth.

I asked Ethan, "Why do you think this looks like Uncle Josh?"

He said, "The pointy hair is like Josh's hair when he goes to church. But, at least he's not bald!!"

In case you think Josh really does look freaky, here's a picture of him swimming with Kylie.

Ethan loves Josh, and I'm sure most of the time Josh likes the attention, but I bet this is one time he'd rather not be the favorite. =)

18 days!!!

In 18 days, I will be leaving with my husband for 5 days without our kids. I love the kids, but I am very much looking forward to a break. Can you tell? We're going to Colorado - not exactly the tropical vacation I really want. But I'd go anywhere (or nowhere at all) to be alone with my husband for a few days. =) And I'm sure it will be fun and relaxing even without the ocean. I'm just hoping it doesn't blizzard that weekend...

Julia Faith

Julia has finally grown teeth - 4 to be exact! They make her look so silly! And this little patch of hair on top of her head is log enough to put in a ponytail....if you have an imagination. =)
