Hello Family! Mark and I have a blog already, but I thought it would be fun to post here where the whole family will be able to see everyone's at once. Great idea, Mary! It's a great time for us in our little family. Mark is nearly accepted into the Phd program here at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand. He just has one more level of acceptance to go and then we're officially in. Naomi is 6 and she just started year 2 in the school just down the hill from our house. Jonah is 4 and he's going to their version of Kindergarten five days a week. They are both getting so big and looking so much older. Elijah is such a joy. He's so chubby and lots of fun for all of us to kiss. Naomi loves to squish his face with her kisses and Lijey hates it, but what can you do with older sisters? Jonah is constantly pulling, pushing and hitting things with Elijah, and surprisingly Lijey likes it. So, our miniature circus has three very entertaining rings and two inexperienced ring masters that enjoy their time all together.
The pictures that I'll post were all taken within the last few months. Naomi has since had a haircut (I'll post one of that soon) and the others pretty much look the same. I hope you enjoy!
Here is the Ethington family. Brett, Mary, holding Kaze, Seth Janey, and Jeb. We are all doing well. We are looking forward to the summer and endless hours of outside play. It will be nice going on all our camping trips and visiting with family. We are blessing Kaze this Sunday, so I will send some pictures of that later next week. Love you all! Take care! mary
