Ethan's Birthday

On this very day three years ago, Brian and I woke up at 5:30 am, put all our things in the car, and headed to Summerville Medical Center. We reported promptly at 6:30 am, as the doctor instructed, and met our fabulous nurse! The protocin was started at 8:00 am, the epideral came at 2:30, and Ethan arrived at 8:20 pm. It was a long day, but worth it to meet our son! Ethan Thomas Parsons was 7 lbs. 9 oz. and 20 1/2 inches long. Three years later he is 30 lbs. and 36 1/2 inches tall. Wow, does the time fly!

Here are some pictures from Ethan's birthday party on Saturday. He had a great time with friends and family.
Thank you to all his friends (Calvin, Nick, Peyton, Nolan, Tyler, and Nathan) for coming to his party and for the wonderful gifts! He loved them all:-) Also, thank you to Memaw, Pepaw, Granma, Granpa, Aunt Valerie, Uncle Neal, and Ms. Kelly.

We had a great time at the party. Peyton keeps asking about Ethan - I think he's finally coming out of his shell! We need to get together after the holidays.

Take care!
