Newbie

Hello, ALL!
I've decided that the easiest way to keep everyone updated on our little family, would be to start a blog. A few of my friends have inspired me......maybe I will inspire you!!!!!
Here is the quick update/initial post:
I am wrapping up my last week of maternity leave :( I am (and have been) mentally prepared to return to work...only because I was home for a long time before Ethan joined our family...but emotionally, I know that I will be crying the first day back.
While I was off, we took Ethan on his first road trip to Idaho. The reason for the trip was for Brock's grandparents to meet Ethan---yes, this is the 4th generation for both his mom and dad's side.
The Stocktons

The Sniders


And here is Brock with his Grandpa Snider and Ethan




The morning we were leaving, Ethan feel asleep on his Great Grandma Stockton...so cute



Of course, it wouldn't be a trip without Brock doing something silly...he LOVED his Grandma's medical chair---the challenge....staying seated while the chair was in the up most straight position.....



Overall, Ethan did GREAT on the long drive:) It was great to see family and to share Ethan with everyone:)

Ethan has been smiling for quite sometime now, mostly when he was getting his diaper changed...he would smile through out the day...but he smiled the most when his Daddy got home....









On the way to Idaho, we stopped at Central Washington University and got some gear for Ethan, he LOVES his new hat...go C-WOOOOO




















Lastly, I take Ethan's picture on his monthly birthday...same spot and with the same animal...it's fun to see how much he has changed in a short amount of time. The one on the left is his 1 month and the right is 2 months.










Well, until our next adventure next weekend, PUMPKIN PATCH!!!!!!

That is one of the best things about having kiddos. You get to do things like go to the pumpkin patch and see it through their eyes. Even better, is that their feelings about places change from year to year.

Don't let anyone tell you "He is too young, he won't remember, etc." You and Brock will, and for now, that is what counts!
