Ethan James

Today we're celebrating our 14th grandchild's 9th birthday.  Ethan was born in Louisville KY and was our 9th grandson.

He's an important part of this large family.

And an even more important part of this family.

Here he is pictorially 'through the years'.

Ethan is one of the sweetest, smartest, most talkative, and engaging kids you'd ever want to meet.  He's a sweet big brother, a wonderful, bright student who has just been recommended for the advanced placement program at his school, and a potential long distance runner.

Today we're wishing him a happy birthday and a year filled with running, more successes in 4th grade, and a summer filled with swimming and diving.
