Home Sweet Home

Ok, I know I should be posting about how Ethan and I are back from Ohio and what we're up to...buuuut, I haven't been taking any pictures since we've been back, so that'll have to wait. In the mean time, here's a bit of fantastic news that I thought I should share:

.

This is the window unit in our living room. It looks like it's older than I am, which is probably why it stopped heating (conveniently, in the middle of winter). So, we told our landlord and he brought over a couple of space heaters to keep us warm at night until he could buy a new one.

.

.

While I was in Ohio, Jonathan told me the landlord decided not to buy a new window unit...but put in central air/heat instead! Woohoo! I love it! I feel so fancy now! This is such a HUGE improvement. Now our bathroom isn't freezing at night when it's time for Ethan's bath. Now the whole house is comfortable all the time and I am SO very grateful.

I love seeing these guys in all the rooms. I like to just look up and smile at 'em. :)

Our latest field trip...

Yesterday Sarah and I took the kids to Cosi (pronounced CO-sigh). It's a science museum for kids, but adults like it too. They have everything from rat basketball (yes, actual rats that are trained to play basketball...not sure why, but they do), to a play area where kids can pretend to be doctors, build with giant blocks, or play in the kitchen. We spent the whole time in the play area so the kids could just run free and do as they please. Ethan and I had a great time!

He was trying to ride around backwards. It sorta worked.

Ethan loves to push stuff around. Strollers, shopping carts, cars...pretty much anything.

This machine blows air, so when you put balls on it they float! Pretty cool huh!

Thanks for bringing us Sarah! It was super fun!

...and the fun continues...

This week we brought Kate and the boys to the mall again to play in their fancy indoor playground. As usual, they loved it.

Ethan loves pushing this baby doll stroller around the house.

.

.

He decided to climb in it and wait for someone to give him a ride.

Here's Allie pushing Ethan around.

Ethan really never gets tired of riding in the stroller.

(Sorry about the sideways view, I was trying to give it an artistic point of view.)

It's been awhile since I've gotten Ethan to really crack up. I thought maybe I'm just not that funny anymore...but this video proves it, I've still got it!
