Friends and Hockey

This Saturday our friends John and Brenda came to visit and to meet Morgan. She was very happy to meet them and Ethan was really excited to have John and Brenda play with all his trucks and cars. He talks about them them a lot, so it was fun for him to finally get to play with them. We had a great time catching up with them, playing and walking to the river. Our time together isn't quite like it used to be now that we have 2 kids to worry about, but it is always nice to chat and share a few laughs.

After his nap on Saturday Ethan and daddy played a little hockey. They just finished a roller hockey rink not far from our house. We drive by it often and have watched the "hockey building" take shape. We talked about it whenever we drove past, so Ethan knew where and what the building was. The hockey building is now finished and Ethan and Kevin walked through it a couple weeks ago. So now hockey is the sport of choice in our house. Kevin sawed of one of his old sticks for Ethan to use and he actually has a pretty good shot. Here are a few pictures of my boys playing hockey.

Ethan has begun his question asking phase. I answer the following questions several times a day, "What's that?" "What's that about?" He is definitely an inquisitive little boy. He has begun singing some of the songs we have been singing to him. He can almost sing the whole alphabet which is so fun to hear. Some other favorites include Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Zacheus, Itsy Bitsy Spider and Jesus Loves Me. He is quite the little sponge and will repeat most of what he hears, that keeps us on our toes!

Morgan is now one month old. She is still such a good baby. She is going through her "fussy in the evening" stage right now. I remember Ethan going through that too and not much calms her except mommy or daddy walking and rocking her. Hopefully it will be short lived. I have a few pictures of her "playing" and her 4 week picture.
