It's Hot!

This is shortly after Sunday afternoon's kite flight. You can tell it's really getting hot out. Time for some water and a trip indoors to cool off. If you look carefully, you can see one of the tell-tale signs of any young boy (bandaid mark on knee).

Let's Go Fly A Kite

...or rather...let's go see how many times Daddy can run until near exhaustion while trying to keep the kite afloat. With all due respect to the elements, the kite did stay up for considerable time on several occassions. This was Ethan's first kite flight, and he seemed really into it.

My Little Artist

Ethan tried his hand at Adobe Illustrator this evening. After a fairly brief tutorial of the basics, he sat down and started drawing like a pro. Here's a shot of his first masterpiece; expect to see others soon at a gallery near you.

All Blocked Out

Well, we've picked out the lot, and we've picked out the plan. We're having a new home built just south of Murfreesboro (near Christiana), in a neighborhood named Fleming Farms. Everything's abuzz with excitement around here.

Here's the most recent picture of the job site, and you can see that the primary foundation is down, and the builder has recently gotten all the blocks in place. We're well on our way now!

Don't Look So Grown

This was taken yesterday. With that pose and that new wristwatch, Ethan's really looking grown up. Man, time really does speed up when you have children. I just hope he doesn't grow up as fast as he wants to.

1978

Here's a great picture that my grandparents sent me recently. Here you see my grandfather teaching me the ropes of driving the tractor. This was taken back in 1978, and I think you can see a good likeness between Ethan and me that doesn't exist as much these days.
