The Engman Abode: Fridays
http://engmanabode.blogspot.com/2012/09/fridays.html
Thursday, September 6, 2012. As he got older, we started our Friday morning hot chocolate together, which became a ritual. We would do crafts together and play trains together. We would run errands together. We would read books and snuggle watching movies. We had such fun enjoying our special bond. But I at least know how we'll start off our day: with hot chocolate. I dont know how I missed this post (wait, yes I do! September 13, 2012 at 6:45 PM. September 13, 2012 at 6:45 PM. View my complete profile.

Friday, October 29, 2010. Ethan, age 3 - 4. Ethan turned 4 years old on October 13! What a wonderful year it has been watching his character and personality develop, laughing at how incredibly funny he is, receiving his hugs and love. Being his mom is just such a joy - I don't know how I ended up with such a precious son. Here are some favorite pictures from this past year in Ethan's life. Hear no evil, speak no evil.". His favorite outfit for a while. Love his smile! It's slip and slide time.

The Engman Abode: The joy of boys
http://engmanabode.blogspot.com/2012/03/joy-of-boys.html
Friday, March 30, 2012. The joy of boys. You know you have boys when you catch yourself saying "Boys, stop talking about your wieners already.".

The joy of boys.
