Potatoes

I don't know how to really explain Ethan's love for potatoes but it is there and very real. Its not just that he loves to eat them in any way you present them, but its almost like they are nostalgic and have a special place in his heart.  The first time I ever had homemade deep fried french fries were in the Wing home and they were delicious. that still didn't alert me to this deep connection.
When we were first married, we decided to make hamburgers and fries. Ethan pulled out a plastic bag to catch the peels, washed the potatoes,  and carefully prepped everything. He sat on the floor (we had no chairs), asked me to take his picture,  and got to work. He literally peeled 15 potatoes for the two of us!! When he was finished I was APPALLED at the potatoes just sitting there ready to be made and all he said was " Its always good to have potatoes ready" He still lives by that theory now. He LOVES when we have leftover potatoes.
Anyway, Ethan has longed for the day when the girls could peel with him. He has tried to give Kelsey the peeler for years and it just hasn't ever worked.  Kelsey has finally reached the mobility where she can help without hurting herself. They didn't really talk, but you can just see the happiness in Ethan's face. I love this picture. And he loves potatoes.
