for the second year in a row, ethan has volunteered to assist with “neighborhood cleanup day” this is when a collection of adults, and ethan, get together to trim back trees, weed and generally clean up common areas in the neighborhood.

the neighbor who organizes the event sent this to me afterwards:

ethan is such a nice boy. it is always a pleasure to have him join us. and it is very nice that his father includes him. it is very apparent that you and natalie are such good parents to both children.
