I have to take a minute to brag about Ethan. He is such a great kid. Really, I couldn't ask for anyone better. He won the Student of the Year award in school today. His prize was a new bike! He was so excited! He called me and asked if I could come pick him up because he got a prize from school. I never expected a bike. He is such a great student. Every parent/teacher conference his teachers tell me how wonderful he is. He is smart, kind, helpful, good natured, gets along with everyone. He is in the gifted program at school, gets straight A's, does band, student council, sports, volunteers with the younger grades. He is just an all around good kid! I am so proud of him. He is turning into such a wonderful young man. How did I get so lucky? I'd like to think that it was all the hours I spent at home with him when he was little. All the time we spent reading books, building forts, going on walks and playing pretend. I'm pretty sure it had nothing to do with me though. He's always been this way. Just part of who he is. He is such a blessing a home too. He is my peace keeper. He is always smoothing over fights between the younger kids, helping me out. I don't know what I'd do without him. I am so proud of his accomplishments. Although I hate to see him growing up so fast, I am very happy with who he has become. We love you Ethan :)

This is awesome. Don't forget about your genetic contribution. I'm totally convinced that nice parents have nice kids just like blue eyed people have blue eyed kids. We inherit more than just our looks from our parents. I swear there is a faith gene and an obedience gene and a keep the rules gene. I knew both of you as teens and you were both so good natured and smart and un-rebelious. I think this is why our ancestors and posterity are so significant in the eternal scheme. We inherit bits of who we are and we pass it on. I'm sure the forts and snuggles don't hurt either. You have a great kid and you deserve it!
