My brother Jared, his wife Samantha, and my nephew Ethan came for a visit a couple weeks ago. It was a treat to have them here with us. We were so sad to see them go (literally, Josh cried as they pulled out of the driveway.) My brother was in a wedding, so he was busy most the week. We had a wonderful time with Sam and Ethan.
My boys just love their (only first) cousin! They catered to his every need. I think Ethan is convinced that he is just as big as the boys. In the mornings all three boys would snuggle up on the couch and watch cartoons. Ethan is good at giving hugs, so he would sneak up on the boys and wrap his arms around their necks. It was very sweet.

I kept Ethan one evening so Jared & Sam could enjoy the rehearsal dinner without a little man to follow around. He is going through a picky stage of eating. Sam is a great mom and does everything she can to get him to eat the right things. Ethan doesn't like to feed himself, but for me he decided to give it a try. I gave him a regular fork, he was messy, but he did a great job feeding myself. He would pick up the chicken and set it on the teeth of the fork, or I'd help him poke it onto his fork. He's a smart cookie, he knows just what he likes and doesn't like.
After spending five days with us, our house felt bare without them. We loved having them here. We are looking forward to seeing them again at Christmastime when we travel to Utah.
