Little Moments

*While watching "Biggest Loser" and as some of Jillian's words are being bleeped Ethan turns to me, serious as can be, and says "I want to be able to make that beeping noise. How does she do that?"

*After watching the season finale of The Amazing Race Ethan made a bunch of clues and set up an amazing race for Dad and me. . . . .guess who was Phil and got to greet us at the pit stop.

*Ellie knows most of her colors: pink, purple, yellow, green, red, blue, & orange. She LOVES to sing and dance more and more each day. Some recent words we've been able to translate: cookie - cracker - yogurt - downstairs. She will sign "please", especially if she wants food.

*It's running season and you're likely to find a local race every weekend here. Most include a 1 mile race so we like to let Ethan join in the fun. Ethan has run two races in the past couple of weeks and placed 4th for his age group in one; we didn't see results for the other.
