Happy New Year!

January 2007
Ethan is a Sunbeam Now!
He graduated from nursery at church and reluctantly entered “the big class.” Here he is with his friend Kaden!

Sunday, January 21st- It is SNOWING in Maricopa?!?!
It wasn't long after we had finished lunch one Sunday afternoon that some big storm clouds rolled in. The rain came down and the wind began to roar... and we thought it started to hail. It didn't take us long to realize that the thin white blanket covering the ground wasn’t hail, it was actually snow! Taking advantage of this rare "snow day" we changed into warmer clothes (got outta the shirt and tie!) and played! The snow only stuck for about an hour, but it was pretty while it was here!

Ethan Turns 4!
On Tuesday, January 23, 2007 I turned 4 Years old! To celebrate, we had a Star Wars Party! All night, Ethan loved being the center of attention. Except when it came time for him to do something. When it was his turn to hit the piñata he got really embarrassed and said he didn't want anyone to look at him while he hit it. So all of the kids covered their eyes while Ethan took his turn hitting the piñata. Later, during the musical chairs Ethan HAD to have the chair with Luke Skywalker's picture. Once he sat in that chair, he refused to get up and walk around the chairs with the other kids. He would just sit there and wait while the other kids walked around him. Needless to say, he's a big fan of Luke Skywalker. I'm amazed at how much he LOVES Star Wars and how much he knows about the movies. Although the night was chaotic, it was fun watching Ethan have such a good time with his friends and living out a dream of being a Jedi for a night.
