Ethan is 9!

Ethan celebrated his 9th birthday on April 12th! We spent Thursday through Sunday of the kids' Spring Break over at grandpa Millers Anderson Island house with our friends the Fears and the Brases, so Ethan got to enjoy his special day in a very fun place with very fun people, including his two best buddies Jedi and Soli!

Here's Ethan at the Brase's (Stanton's) island house with his cupcake, ice cream and pop. Does life get any better when you're 9?



All smiles with his dad and big brother Noah. (Why can't 10-year-old boys just take a normal picture???)

Happy Birthday, Ethan! We love you and are so incredibly thankful that God has put you into our family. We love your patient and gentle nature. We love the way you love your friends and your family. We love the way you notice the small details of God's amazing creation that so many of us miss. We love your hugs and kisses. We love your smile and your laugh. We love that you love Jesus and are not afraid to share the message of His love with your friends at school. We are so excited to see what God will do in your life, and how He will use you to further His kingdom as you grow into the man of God that He wants you to be!
