Two Busy Boys

OK, now we're all well. Ethan is recovering from a nasty case of rotavirus. He isn't quite back to his busy little self but he is feeling good enough to catch up on some of his chores: using blocks as bales to feed his cattle and fixing his tractor by tipping it onto its side, shining a flaslight on it, and poking at it with whatever tools he can get his hands on.

Evan is really busy these days, too. He has some definite ideas about how he wants to spend his time. Most of them still involve being carried around but he has branched out enough to enjoy the stroller, tummy time, and he loves the ExerSaucer. (Thanks, Lane!) He is quite the chatterbox these days, too. He smiles with his whole body, especially when he sees Ethan. It's a nice change from when he covered his face and cried when Ethan got close. (In Evan's defense, his big brother was usually carrying a chainsaw or drill- sometimes I wanted to cover my face and scream, too!) Anyway, now they are really enjoying each other. "Evan is a good friend," Ethan said yesterday. Who knew two boys would be so sweet?
