Happy Halloween!
Hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween! Ethan and I are looking forward to our first trick-or-treating experience with all of the cousins. We are only sorry that Jesse couldn't be here -- next year!! With love, Lindsey

Another Day...
Well it has been awhile since I posted a message. Probably because my life is, for the most part, pretty quiet. I don't do much, besides take care of Ethan. That consumes almost every second of every day and doesn't leave to much time for other pursuits. My dancers have cross-town football tomorrow. It should be fun. It is going well with the dance team, for the most part. There are definitely some people I like more than others, but that is to be expected I suppose. Hopefully with the upcoming holidays the time will start to go by a little quicker. First Halloween, then Thanksgiving and Ethan's birthday, then Christmas. I am already getting Christmas presents ready for Jesse. I always thought it was strange to see wrapping paper in the stores before Halloween even hit, but now I am understanding why. I looked everywhere this week for Christmas paper, but haven't found it yet! :) Well today is another day closer to Jesse's return!! Hope everyone is well.
With Love,
Lindsey & Ethan

Crazy Man!
Ethan is crawling around the entire house like a crazy man. If I was looking for something to keep me busy after Jesse left, I found it! Now he crawls through the entire house (he used to sort of stay in the area you put him in!) He has also found it interesting to pick things up along the way and carry them with him. One of his newest favorite activities is emptying the entire bookcase around himself. Yesterday he had a mountain of books surrounding him. He is hilarious. I don't think it will be much longer before he starts walking. He can pull himself up on anything now, including the wall!! He will also chase you if you get on the ground and crawl with him. It is so much fun. I just wish he didn't go for the things like cords, computer equipment, pictures etc. Wow he is going to be a lot of work!!! I can't believe his first birthday is right around the corner!
