Snow, Snow, Snow!

Yes, there's already been quite a bit of snow here in Michigan, and it really is beautiful, especially at Christmastime. We were prepared, though, having bought Ethan all of his snow gear in advance. We definitely is not a fan of the snowsuit and boots, but once he got out there, he had a great time. He mostly just sits around in it and eats it. It's been pretty deep in some places, so it's a little hard for him to really run around and play in it. Nonetheless, it's been fun for him (and his dad)!

Trip to SC

In December, Ethan and I (Emily) spent a week with family and friends in South Carolina. We had such a great time. Ethan's highlights were playing OUTSIDE with his cousins (we don't get outside much these days), especially sledding at Poppy and Nana's. Yes, that's right, sledding...on the grass! He also enjoyed riding around in the golf cart with Poppy. We were able to see all of my siblings and their kids, so Ethan had no shortage of playmates.

It was a great trip, in spite of having to spend 6+ hours in the Cincinnati airport, due to delays. Thank goodness for the good people of Ohio who put a playground in our concourse!!! And thanks to all of the tech geeks out there who invented portable DVD players (and the grandparents who buy them)!
