This is Ethan when he was about 2.... about 2 years ago...on the patio of the upstairs 3-bedroom apt. we had before we moved to the one we are in now.
He and I spent lots of time out here... watching the school busses go by on the mornings he was staying with us.
That may be where he gained part of his facination with cars and trucks... growing up watching them every morning from the balcony as we cuddled. We put window screening on the railing to keep him and his things from falling off... and I built him the 'road' for his cars.. including a ramp that goes downwards.
That's my son in the corner, and my daughter, and my mil... Dorcas. I always enjoy decorating for fall. As you can see from the green trees... we had a very late winter that year!..but it was October.
