Sweet E

Here's a picture I took of Ethan the other day while still trying to figure my camera out. I am working at learning to make eyes "pop". I find myself staring at his eyes trying to figure out what color they are!

My first born is growing up... I rely on his help more and more with his brother and sister. I was trying to get dinner on yesterday when Harper decided that all she wanted was to be held. Ethan said he'd be her babysitter and proceeded to sit on the floor with her, giving her toys and making her laugh. So sweet. I feel like at times he is my little clone (poor kid). I understand his sensitive feelings and what makes him tick. It's helpful, but there is something uniquely difficult dealing with a person that is very similar to yourself! I honestly don't know if we'll be able to home school...he and I butt heads almost immediately when we try to do something! Regardless, I am so proud of my little guy and thankful for his sweet little spirit!

Can you teach me your eye popping camera tricks?! You have been doing some studying that I can see really paying off now! So share your secrets!

I understand the similar personality thing. Kaden and I are the same. You but heads, but you also understand each other easier.

I need to know how you made his eyes pop like that! They are beautiful. Very similar to Emma's in color... I have no idea what color to call it. Hazel? I love to see a glimpse into Ethan's personality these days since I don't get to see you all much anymore!
