Where does the time go? No one ever told me (that I can remember) how stinkin fast your life speeds up when you have children. Maybe it is the combination of busy work and busy home that makes it seem faster, but whatever it is, I wish it would slow down a bit. I mean, Ethan will be 7 months next Friday! What?

Speaking of Ethan...he has quite the personality. At almost 7 months he definitely knows what he wants and what he doesn't. It is really funny, yet really scary. I tend to see a little of his impatient mommy in him with his daddy's charm. Whatever it is it keeps us laughing nonstop!

Last week we were dealing with a second ear infection in two weeks. I have never craved warm weather so much. Both ear infections stemmed from nasty colds. His poor nose was so raw from us "blowing" it so much. He was in so much pain for about two days until the meds kicked in and helped. Bless his heart he could not sleep at night and was just plain miserable. His temperature also got up to 102. We kept him home Monday and Tuesday and by Thursday he was back to 100%. This mixed with the beautiful weather last Saturday and Sunday made for a very fun weekend. We had a lot of much needed fun family time that included E's first trip to the park and then a little shopping for him. He was in the best mood all weekend. It was so nice!

Our schedules have been jammed packed these last few weeks. Byron is taking a french class at Rice two nights a week and work has been crazy for us both lately. We are taking a break and getting away this weekend...not together though. :( Byron has a bachelor party in Austin and I have a Wing's n More college reunion Saturday night that I am very much looking forward to. (If you did not know I worked at Wings for 5 years in college.) This will be my first night out with my girl friends since I have no idea when and I can't wait. It will be a little scary though since we have never left E over night, but he will be in good hands!
