Ethan's Triumph

The Morrey family has been enjoying the fine weather we've had this week, with the exception of the rain this weekend, and have been busy cleaning up our yard. It is amazing how many leaves and twigs can accumulate over the winter from the wind when you have nearly 60 trees in your yard, which will soon be reduced significantly. We plan on putting in some raised beds for our garden, and also taking out a strange flower bed that the original owners put in. It is a large round bed that apparently was supposed to represent the world and the wife would plant and trim plants to look like the continents. This is what we found out from our neighbors, and they will be happy to see it go too. We will shortly be replacing it with grass.

Ethan has absolutely loved the time we've spent outside. He can get around a lot better than he could in the fall, but still likes to eat dirt. There have been times he's been caught sucking the mud off of rocks. Yum! He loves exploring the yard and going on stroller rides around the neighborhood. Whenever we say "Go outside?" he gets so excited. He also will point and grunt at his stroller whenever he sees it. Jen took him to the park near our house this week and he had fun on the slides and swings. He even got excited when he saw a dog.

This post is probably boring to everyone except his grandmas. To make the post a little more interesting to everyone else, we've included some exciting footage of Ethan. Enjoy!!

Awesome movie! We love the music. I need to get into adding a few video clips to our blog. It's been fun looking through your old posts at the pictures. What a cutie! I had a good time today, Jen.
