For some reason, Ethan gets a real charge out of wearing these crazy fake teeth my sis got me for Christmas. He started out by wearing them to be funny. Now he just pops them in casually...sort of like the way you might put on a baseball cap for no good reason other than because you felt like wearing it.

Believe it or not, that face Ethan's wearing is supposed to be a smile...

Here's Ethan helping Dad make apple crisp. Or "apple piff" as he calls it.

Well here I am, joining the masses of those who have their own blogs. I have a feeling that using the Blogger tools is going to be a LOT easier than trying to maintain my own website. I feel like a sellout for not designing it myself, but you just can't beat the ease of using a tool like Blogger. What this means for you folks is that you'll probably see me updating my site with new pictures far more often than I used to.

Remember, if you'd like to be updated when I update our site, please email me and I'll add you to my list.

Ethan loves to help his dad - especially when dirt is involved.
