Renewed Commitment

Well, my great plans to create a blog AND maintain it ran into a little snag . . . I can't ever seem to fit it in. I've made a renewed committment to blogging once a week! This weeks blog is going to be a little bit of everything -- some of my favorite photos from the past few months.





There's my happy little guy! Ethan is eleven months old now! He loves to play and is full of smiles!














Here is big brother Ryan! Notice, all I get of this kid are action shots or sleeping poses! He NEVER stops! If his eyes are open, he's on the go. If I had a fraction of his energy . . . :) He is such a good boy and a GREAT big brother.

This was for the Super Bowl! Can you guess who the family was cheering???

GO STEELERS!!!!

Interestingly, the Steelers won the Super Bowl after the birth of both the boys -- obviously the boys are good luck!

Mom and the boys! I love these two kids so much! Ryan (age 3) looks more like me when I was little. Ethan (11 months) is the spitting image of his Daddy at the same age.

Ahhhh -- they're both asleep. Need I say more????

Ethan is allergic to penicillin. We found out the hard way. This is when the rash was healing. It was terrible. Poor baby. He took it like a champ though. Itched a little, but mostly left it alone.

Here is my beautiful baby minus the rash!

This is us at Ryan and Ethan's first races! The "Diaper Dash" took place at the Gate River Run in Jacksonville. My Dad and Stepmom ran the adult version. After the big races, the children were able to participate in a child's race. Ethan was first. His race was 12 months and younger. They could walk, crawl, roll -- whatever way they could make it across the finish line. Ethan finished second to last. :) He was more content to sit on the ground and play with the dirt. My sister blames me for not introducing him to dirt prior to the race!

Ryan's group was for boys ages 37 months to 48 months. He came in second place and was SO proud. Both boys received a "finisher" medal and t-shirt. Both also were given little backpacks. It was really nice.

So with that, I'm done with this week's blog. Hopefully with my renewed commitment will come an improved level of skill. :)
