We are getting the packing underway for the big move in two weeks and are so excited about our new home in Kalamazoo, but are enjoying the time that we have left in Marquette. Finally yesterday was a nice day and Ethan was able to get out and run around and he LOVED it! He was eating dirt dipped animal crackers and enjoyed every bit of it. He enjoyed jumping on and off the deck. He is saying so many new words lately such as "Andy" (his stuffed toy raggedy Andy doll that my good friends mom made him.....thanks Connie!) He loves dogs and every time he sees one he gets this high voice and even calls them "Andy" sometimes. He says "mama" and "dada" all the time and he even said "tongue" yesterday when someone stuck their tongue out. He is doing new things everyday and Jim and I are enjoying this period of his life. Ethan and Jim have been able to spend a lot of time together now that Jim is done with school and they both are eating it up! They love to chase each other around and having that "guy" relationship:) Another thing that Ethan is doing is bringing books to us all the time to read. He would read books all day long if he could! There are several times throughout the day that either Jim or I will read for 45 minutes straight and read the same book ten times over, but it makes Ethan so happy!! 
Ethan will read on his own if we are not around sometimes:) 
Ethan got some new "kicks" for playing outside!! 
Jim and I put together a 1500 piece puzzle and it took us an entire week! I know we are dorks!House Update:
We close on our house next week and are moving Monday May 5th. Jim graduates a couple days before that and we are so excited to have all of our family here for that!! I am so proud of Jim and what he has accomplished!
We went to Grand Marias the other day to visit the cabin that has been in my family, my great-grandfather built it with his own hands! It was really neat to see and was glad that I visited before we left the UP.

You finished the puzzle! I'm amazed that with a toddler running around and packing to do, you found time to do a puzzle! You must have amazing puzzle skills. :)
