Ethan is such a little helper! He loves to help us with anything we are doing. When I’m cooking in the kitchen he wants to pull out his stool and help me with dinner, when Kevin’s working outside, he wants to get his tools and gloves and help daddy. When PawPaw’s in the garden he wants to help him pick “tutumbers”. Grandma was able to capture a few of these precious moments of our little helper:
Samuel has a new room!! Well, it’s a shared room, but at least he has a corner now!
I’m not sure our youngest, Samuel, is going to make it to his first birthday. I think our daughter is trying to get rid of him. I think she loves him, she talks to him and about him often. But she has also done things to make us think otherwise. When he is in his swing she likes to push it beyond what it was meant to go. She likes to poke his eyes. She threw his favorite pacifier into the garbage disposal (unknown to Erin until she ran it). She has picked him up and dropped him repeatedly (and tried to pick him up many other times). She has taken his blanket, covered his face with it and laid on him. She has put a marble, a pretzel, a piece of pizza, and other things into his mouth. I’m just not sure if Samuel is going to make it because his older sister is out to get him.
This is Ethan’s way of saying this room is off limits for Alayna. Now every door in our house, even Alayna’s own room, has this sign. Even the outside doors. It’s Alayna’s catch 22 - can’t go in, can’t go out.
We went to the Midwest Homeschool Convention in Cincinnati a couple weeks ago. It was crowded!! Besides the fact that they scheduled the conference to begin at the exact same time as opening day for the Cincinnati Reds (~10,000 convention goers + ~40,000 baseball fans = no available parking + lots of frustration!) it was a nice trip. Samuel enjoyed the big bed, Erin and I took the floor. ;)
When your Daring Child is also your Clumsy Child that child will invariably be your Injury-Prone Child.

Aww, how cute!
He’s at such a great age, I wish they could stay that little forever! Miss you guys!! Love yous!
Is that your Dad’s garden? Wow it looks really big, lots of work, but good work. Ethan is so cute helping, does he like tomatoes?
He surely is a busy boy! Miss seeing you all for sure.
And we will be praying for Kevin to finish the shed, but it looks like he might since the weather has turned nice. :O)
Kevin has always been a busy boy, guess it is paying off!
Have a great labor day!
Love
Mom
