We actually have a 9 year old now. WOW! I just can't believe that it has already been 9 years since we brought you home from the hospital. I can still vividly remember that day. We were so clueless as to how to raise you and what to do. Praise the Lord we had God's Word to go to and seek help from and also other friends and family who guided us when we needed help. The Lord has faithfully walked with us as you have grown and we can see the person that God is making you become. You are so tender and loving and nurturing. Always willing to give hugs. You love the outdoors and are such a hard worker. You self willingly work right along side dad or mom when we are out working in the fields, barn, garden or working on a project. Your personality is just like Dad's. Funny and you love to play jokes. We love spending time with you and talking about your dreams, like raising pigs, watching your understanding grow of the characteristics of God and the Bible, and your desire to share His love with others. We love you so much Ethan and we pray that God will work in you even more this year as you continue to grow and trust in Him.
Here he is fixing a bathroom door. He just took it upon himself to take care of it. Dave had taken it off to glue it back together. And after 2 days of drying it was ready to put it back to use. So Ethan just got what he needed and I loved watching his face and his mind think about making sure it was on straight and that it worked properly.
This is something that he has been asking for over and over. I loved this one because it actually teaches you all the moves that they can make for each piece. None of us knew how to play so we wanted to be able to learn with him. He read through everything and started playing this morning with Evan. Man they pick up on things so quickly. Now I just want to read up on it and learn to play with them.
