Fun with Glow Sticks

Ethan has officially been introduced to glow sticks! I found a stock pile of them last weekend in my workshop. They were saved from when I was a wildland firefighter and I carried a handful in my line gear for night operations. But those days have passed and they’ve collected dust for the last 7 […]

You’ve lived in how many homes in the last decade?

We have history of moving. A lot! Ever since we left our childhood homes in San Jose, California (Brett) and Newberg, Oregon (Laura), we’ve moved frequently for a variety of reasons. Job. Change of scenery. School. Most moves have been our decision, though, we’ve been more enthusiastic about some more than others. So exactly how […]

Ethan at the Tualatin Hills Nature Park in Beaverton, Oregon

Ethan takes some of his first hiking steps at the Tualatin Hills Nature Park in Beaverton, Oregon. This is a great park near Nike where the trails are flat and maintained. There is also a cool interpretive center. Great for kids!

Ethan Goes To The Beach [Video]

Last week was my birthday and to celebrate it, as well as get out of the 100 degree Portland weather, we headed west to Seaside for fun and much cooler weather. This was Ethan’s first time to the beach, walking on the sand, and putting his feet in the ocean. Enjoy the video.

Ethan’s First Radio Flyer Wagon Ride

We haven’t posted a video in quite some time so we thought you’d enjoy this one. Ethan had his first birthday a couple weeks ago. Laura and I gave him a Radio Flyer wagon which we just received today. I put it together and away we went. Ethan had a great time being able to […]

Ethan’s First Camping Experience

Last week, we packed up the Subaru and made our way to eastern Oregon where we experienced three days/two nights of wonderful eastern Oregon beauty. Personally, I find eastern Oregon to be more enriching and exciting than western Oregon. Laura is more keen to the coast and Ethan just goes with the flow. Prior to […]

First snow in Eugene 2008!

Ethan enjoys his first good snow of his life. It snowed a few inches in a matter of hours. We had no snow in our area until 7am today. The dogs are having a great time eating and playing in it. Ethan just looked around.

Ethan rolls over

Our little guy has hit another milestone in his life. He is now rolling over from his tummy to his back. Here is a video of him doing it for the second time. Despite all our efforts to capture on film his first rollover, we were not prepared. This video is no longer available. Sorry.

Peek-A-Boo

I believe the video speaks for itself. That is if the video still existed. Sorry.

Week 12 and 13 photos of Ethan

Ethan is smiling a lot more, and we are trying to capture this moment on film, though it seems they are mostly blurry. He made a great horse for Halloween. After visiting the four houses on our street, he passed out from all the excitement. He enjoys being flown around the house, especially while strapped […]
