E's First Haircut!

Yesterday was Ethan's first haircut! He didn't seem to mind at first, but then started to get cranky. Sorry for the bad camera work, I was trying to hold him down and film while trying not to get my color on the camera. That's what happens when I am by myself and Kris is off getting drunk in an Irish bar in Russia (I'm not jealous at all).

Some of you said NO to a haircut, but he was starting to get a sho-lo with wings. Not very attractive. These pictures are of him when we got home, locked in his room of course.

Fall is in the air, so we headed to Longwood Gardens to take in the sights. They have a great kids garden with water falls and stuff. It's a disaster waiting to happen if you ask me.

The video from the haircut is too big to upload... sorry.

Ready, Set, GO!

It's September now and it's it's all downhill from here. Ethan started crawling this week and is getting faster and faster every day. Time to move everything into the closets!

We finally finished Ethan's playroom and topped it off with some bars. Yes, it is a bit like prision but with fun toys.

Fresh from his bath. I love this picture! Grabbing his package just like his Papa.

Here is Ethan on the swings and performing his new trick, say HI or BYE while waving. It's all the same.

As summer is winding down, here is the gang at Aunt JoAnne's beautiful pool. Ethan had enough of all of the girls.

In August, Holly, Meghan, Nola and Matty came down from Kittery for a few days. Here are the girls having fun with Ethan!

I love this one of Matty as a blur in the background!

After a few days with many kids in the house, swimming, the helicopter museum and the Zoo, Ethan passed out during dinner.

Holy S*%T! Can you guess what this means???

More Traveling for Ethan!

We just got back from crashing yet another family member's vacation, the Pocono's this time.

Here is the entire Cain Gang, minus Steph who is also taking pictures. We had a great time! Ethan had his first taste Kix and Cheerio's and is now hooked.

Auntie Stephanie!

Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop with Big E.

He's so cute!

Fun in the Sun

Here are a few pictures of Ethan at the pool the past few days. He is now 7 months old and becoming quite the little fishy. I have also included a video of him in the tub last night cracking up at his new toy.

Congrats to Brandon and Shannon on getting married! Is a little one in your future? Hmmmm....

Cristy and Carl Spangler

Here is Annabelle and her very disturbing wierd eye trick. Someone needs to call Letterman!

My First Blog!

Here it is! The first Krausse Family blog! I thought this would be a good way to keep everyone connected to Ethan's exciting happenings. Who knows how often I will update this thing, but I'll do my best to post new pictures and what we are all up to. I'm sure Kris will throw in a few sports comments from time to time as well.

I hope I can make this work and you all enjoy!

p.s. - Thanks to Melissa for giving me this idea...
