Reading time

I love how Colin is taken with books. He will patiently sit with a book and turn the pages until he reaches the end of the book, then start over again...and this can easily go on for a good 5 minutes (which for a 15 month old is FOREVER!) I so hope his love for books continues on...and we will continue our nightly ritual of two books per night before bed, to encourage this!

Ready for the weekend!!

Colin and I went on an awesome walk early this morning... Moments like these I cherish so much - - it was quiet and peaceful outside and the only sounds were birds and my little guy singing the whole way to the store and back. Oh and him saying his new word "clock" over and over but comes out clear as day minus the "L" ! :) Happy Friday!

Sweet Child O' Mine!

Watch out Tiger Woods!

Today Colin took to the course -- the Golf Course -- he was amazing!! He shot a 76! (Colin's best score ever)...he shot a 39 on the front 9 and a 37 on the back 9. He finished off the round with a 75 foot putt on the 18th hole and cooled off with a beverage on the 19th. He's looking forward to more days like this! Ironically enough Morgan shot a 76 as well today...his best score ever too!

Mini-Mozart!

Might we have a little future musician?? All I know is he thoroughly enjoyed pounding away on the keys!!

Dancin' Fool!

This weekend we attended Melissa's wedding and it was a beautiful event. Such an intimate and special day and we are so happy for Melissa and Ray!

Colin enjoyed his first wedding too! Although a bit fussy during the ceremony (what, a 15 month old has to be quiet?), things really shifted once the tunes began. I couldn't believe it but seriously, he was ripping up the dance floor- complete with what I swear looked like breakdancing. You be the judge:

Family Reunion

We returned last night from beautiful, Mt. Shasta. We had such a wonderful trip amongst beauty and nature - - we didn't want to come home! Colin, especially, couldn't get enough of the outdoors as evidenced by his continuous "banging" on the glass windows to go outside at all times! We caught up with aunts, uncles and cousins and enjoyed the lake, golf, tennis, fishing and hikes... it was perfect.

And the best was watching the next generation (second cousins) together- so precious!

Sand castles anyone?!!

Family hikes!
