Ethans New Pet

Over the last couple of days, we have found a couple of crickets in our house. Each time I have got a cup and put the cricket in it and taken it out to the garage to dump him out. Well, I don't know if it's just the same cricket coming in desperate to get out of the cold or what, but the last time I saw it, I decided not to get the cup. Everytime Ethan see's it, he squeels and gets so excited. He'll get down on his stomach and talk to him, then try to feed him cereal or something. It is so funny, and really cute. Here's a couple pictures. The cricket is kind of hard to see, but he's up next to the wall, and ethan is telling him stories.

The beginning of winter

So a couple days ago it snowed, enough to have a nice white blanket on the ground. Ethan was so cute when he went outside. Last winter, he had no interest in the snow whatsoever, but this year has been different. He begged for me to let him go outside to play in the snow. Here's a couple of pictures I took. (taken from the comfort of my warm living room)

So while Ethan was out playing, Rory was working on his project. It has not been a cheap project either. He is trying to restore his dad's 1970 (?) Chevy pickup. He was pretty excited to FINALLY get it running after a few months, and a couple thousand dollars later. I have to say that the best looking part of the truck so far is under the hood. I will have to get some pictures of it to put up. It looks pretty good, and I know NOTHING about mechanics, etc. Notice in the pictures below, there is no seat, and one thing you can't see is that the floor is rusted out, so there's a nice hole in the floor... it still has a long way to go.
