Christian's 2nd Birthday

Exactly one month ago today we had Christian's 2nd birthday party at The Little Gym in the Arlington Highlands (I know this post is late but I explained that here). His actual birthday was two days prior on Earth Day but that was a Thursday thus the party on Saturday.

The party was great fun with all of Christian's friends in attendance and even a few of Ethan's friends (older siblings of Christian's friends).

It is hard to believe that just two years ago (and one month), we had our second child. He has always been told how cute he is by us and by just about any other person that sees him. I hope he doesn't become vain because of it.

Below is a picture from his actual birthday at just a few minutes old (i.e. April 22, 2008) and then a few from this year's birthday party. Enjoy!

Kindergarten Program

Ethan had his Kindergarten Singing Program on April 21 and true to the past, he pretty much stood there while everyone else sang. In the last few years during Preschool Ethan never sang or did the motions during his programs. We hear that he does it all during rehearsals in class but I guess he gets stage fright in front of all the parents.

Last fall during the Dinner/Dance fundraiser, I bought a reserved front row so that we could be as close as possible to see the show. We were front and center while some of the other kindergarten families that we hang out with joined us in the front row. I hoped that when Ethan saw us in the front row, it might inspire him to participate more but that didn't happen.
Ethan was on the second row from the back but had to move to the back row because he is so tall (that is why he is in different rows in these photos).
As you can see, every other kid is in mid-singing while Ethan just stands there. I wish he participated and enjoyed himself more but the show was still good. Check out other photos below.
Could he be less excited to be there?

Sorry I Haven't Posted in a While

It has been almost a month since my last post and I am very sorry about that. I try to post a few times a week or whenever something special happens but the last several weeks have been crazy. I am about to do several posts over the next few days to catch everyone up on our family so be sure to come back and check them out.
