Ethan after preschool at KECC in August 2011

Ethan had a picture in his cubby that said "Ethan" and "Emma". Ethan said, "That's Emma's! Why was it in my cubby? I think she loves me! Or maybe she just put it in the wrong cubby..."

Moira's birth

-The sound of the bassinet (the wheels on the tile crossing the threshhold) coming back from the nursery during the night when she was hungry and she was all bundled up with that tiny sweet little face.
-Josh and Ethan giving Moira a new hat and pacifier toy when the came to visit her the first time.

May 2005

I came back late at night from a trip to Las Vegas for my cousin's wedding. In the morning when Josh woke up, Scot brought him in to the bedroom and Josh gave me the biggest smile and longest, most awesome hug I've ever gotten.

Ethan Spring 2010

I came home from church and Ethan matter-of-factly told me that there was an angel on my shoulder and it had  been there since I came home. A year or so later, he told me that the angel was blue.

Ethan's "Other Mother"

From before age 2, Ethan would point at the same house in Webster Groves and tell us that's where his other mother lived.

Josh 7/28/11

The next door neighbors were getting a new roof on one of the hottest days of the summer. When Josh got home from Boy Scout camp he said, "Wow! Their roof looks great!" And then gave the roofers a double thumbs up :)

Josh ~age 2

Josh kept saying (what we thought we heard) Medicator. What he was really saying: Mail Carrier.
