Sorry it has been a little while since my last post. Me and Ethan took a trip to Grandma and Grandpa Barrow's house. Now, granted they do have the internet but it also moves at the speed of tar. It was interesting few days trying to travel nearly 14 hours with a 7 month old in tow but somehow we all managed to survive. We were most surprised that Dad made it. Poor Dad with nothing but girls in close quarters for that long of a time. We found ways to entertain ourselves. Ethan had several different different hairdos - this one being one of the best! We stopped in one town to take a picture underneath a street sign where the street was labeled "Bucket of Blood Street". That was nice because I bet Mom that if we stopped Ethan would wake up. I won and I got to sit in the front seat while she had to sit in the back and entertain the now tired and cranky boy. The only really bad thing about the trip is that we either had to hear Mom read from her Ann Coulter book or the NRA magazine the WHOLE WAY. And it did not stop once we got to our destination. Yes, it continued.

This weekend is Peach Days so of course we will be joining in on the festivities. It will be Ethan's first parade and he told me that he is very excited to go to the car show as well. Jacob has to work and so he will miss most everything except maybe the first part of the parade.

We are thinking that maybe once Jacob can transfer (January 10, 2008) that he might look for a job in Logan. We both really like it over there and housing is affordable. We could get a 3 bedroom 3 bath for only 700 a month. We also like that the town has more to offer than Brigham does. It has a mall, a Home Depot, and just hundreds of other little stores and restraunts that Brigham does not. Besides that it just far enough away from home but still close enough too.

Ethan is now effortlessly crawling around the house and I think it will begin to show on his forehead. We have wood floors and every now and then he bonks his head pretty good. He hit is so hard the other day that he got a bloody nose. We do have a rug in the front room but trying to keep him on that is impossible now that he knows he has things to explore. Our house isn't too big which makes baby proofing easy. We just keep the door to the bathroom and our bedroom shut and then Mom gave us a gate that we put between the hallway and kitchen. We just need a few drawer safe pulls and one for our t.v. cabinet. Now, baby proofing ourselves is another deal. Jacob has to learn to put his shoes away so they don't get chewed on and I have to stop leaving paper and pens around. That might take a little while before it becomes habit.
