Father's Day

On Father's Day, Ethan must have had some clue that it was a special day for his daddy...Matt was preaching that Sunday, so he had to leave early for church. Before leaving, he had changed his mind about which pair of pants he was going to wear. After Matt left, Ethan wandered into our room and saw the pair of pants that Matt had decided not to wear and quickly declared, "MY pants" (yes, the "mine" phase is still in full swing). He proceeded to put his father's pants on, holding them up by the belt and walking around the house, feeling quite proud. It was such a fitting Father's Day picture!

Our Trip South

Well, we have finally returned and settled in after our stint in the South. We started off with a week with Emily's family at Hilton Head Island (our yearly family vacation), then Matt unfortunately had to head back to work in Michigan. Ethan and Emily stayed around for some time with family and friends. You can see the fun Ethan had with his cousins, Poppy and Nana and his Aunt Kathleen. It was a great trip, but it's always nice to be home (and for the first time, I'm actually grateful for Michigan weather!
