Apologies!

To anyone who is reading our blog, I have to apologize for the inconvenient layout that I choose each time I publish a new post. I cannot figure out how to make the pictures stand upright or how to put them in side by side. I'm sure it's possible...and you know Thomas would be able to do this if he were the author of these posts. So once again, I apologize if your necks are sore from trying turning to the side to view the photos but I simply cannot figure out this seemingly simple task. Maybe someone could drop me a line with a few pointers on what I am missing.
Thanks!!!

It's hard to believe that fall has arrived and winter is on it's way so soon! We had a great summer and we've got some exciting things to look forward to this winter. We will be celebrating a birthday for Thomas in October and Ethan will have his 1st Birthday in December.
Great grandma and grandpa Shiplett are in town this week and we have had so much fun spending time with them here in Iowa. We all spent time together at teh pumpkin patch yesterday and thought you all might enjoy some pictures. Ethan is growing up so quickly and his personality is blossoming! He is very close to getting his arms and legs working together to crawl but hasn't yet become too unsatisfied with just sitting in one place watching the world. He is pretty content (and so am I) with remaining stationary at least for now. I'll keep you all updated when he takes those first few steps on all fours. We love you all!
