Welcome, Baby Ethan

As Jesse returns to work this week, my daycare routine

starts to include little Ethan Gregory...

Welcome, little one....

 Big Brother Andrew and I will take good care of you.

oh...yes, he did

We took off for a few days on our Ultra Classic bike and

headed to Galena, IL...rolling hills, pretty little towns,

wide open spaces...and a break.  On our way home

we stopped in LaCrosse at the Harley dealer (I thought

to ask directions to our hotel) and Greg bought himself

a Father's Day gift.  While I didn't actually buy him the

gift, my gift to him was give my approval.

Happy Father's Day, Greg!  He loves it!

A couple of firsts...

 Jesse and I paid a visit to Jesse's cousin, Beth and

her new baby this week.  Maverick Barrett Park

was born on May 30 and was welcomed home

by his mommy, daddy and big brother Brody.

Above is a picture of the little brothers....Ethan and Mav
(what a difference 2 months make!)

Below are their big brothers...Brody and Andrew

 Ethan and Jesse had an outing on their own this week

when they visited Greg and I at our camper.

God Bless Ethan Gregory

Saturday was Ethan's Baptism Day so family gathered

at a nearby Lutheran Church to witness his baptism.

Godfathers Josh (Ben's brother) and Scott (Jesse's brother)

were given the honor of standing for him.  It was a lovely

ceremony as little Ethan accepted the Lutheran faith.

Then we all gathered for pictures and later food and

fellowship at Ben & Jesse's.  As you can see from

pictures, it was a beautiful June day.  Ethan's cousins,

aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas and even greats

joined in the celebration of this child of God.
