TEENAGER!!

I would be a horrible, rotten, no-good mother if I didn't recognize my teenagers birthday!   You may wonder, along with us, why we chose to have a baby December 22, 1994.  So close to Christmas!  I do hope Ethan doesn't feel "over-looked" amid the Christmas chaos.  We do love Ethan.  He is a great young man.  He has a great set of friends, and they have lots of fun together.  Ethan loves the following:  1) His mother of course:).  2) football 3) skiing 4) lacrosse 5) food.  Actually, I should have put food as #1!  He eats sooo much.  But I guess now that he's as tall as Blake, wears size 11 shoes, and grows like a weed, he can afford all the calories.  Ethan told me the other day that just in case he dies skiing, he wanted me to know that he keeps a note from his Grandma Blotter, and a picture of me in his ski coat.  I was so touched!  We have had our bouts with the teenage attitude.  But for the most part, Ethan is surviving teenage-hood well.   He always makes us laugh.  We can all be gloomy, and he'll say something to crack us all up.  Whenever Ethan is gone, we are all in a slump.  Supe is a wreck without his big brother.  Ethan is his best friend.  Ethan wants to be an NFL star, or a professional skier.  Big dreams!  We love you Ethan.  Happy Birthday!
