Colin is 1!

Well, it is official. One full year has passed since the day Colin was born. What an amazing year this has been. Colin spent the weekend celebrating his birthday with family and friends. His first gift was from Christina (his nanny/aunt)...a Radio Flyer tricycle. So cute! He isn't quite big enough for it yet but he'll get there.

His big birthday party was Saturday...what a blast. He got lots of good loot from everyone:) A push car, Redskins (Portis) jersey, Radio Flyer wagon, clothes, books, toys...so much!!!! He loved his cake...a two layer number with a monkey crawling up the side and another one on top. In true chill Colin fashion he simply pulled the monkey off the top and then touched the cake with his feet (this child is oddly tactile with his feet). No attacking of the cake or shoving it in his mouth...so laid back this little monkey:)

On Sunday afternoon, we celebrated his b-day with his BFF Ryan (born on the same day) and he did have a little more fun with the homemade cake mommy made. He and Ryan had a blast cruising around the backyard in the wagon he got from his mooma (grandma File).

What a great weekend!!!

Uncle Brian

Thanks Uncle Brian (Madora) for my first official guest blog entry. We can't wait until he and Courtney have their little girl:)

It is now 10pm. Mother Nature calls. Who am I to deny the overwhelming urge that she has bestowed upon me. Yeah, you got it....I just crapped my diaper. Honestly, now that I think of it, wallowing around in this crap...no pun intented...isn't my idea of a good time. Time to cry. Fast foward about two minutes. Thanks Mom. You missed a spot with the powder on my undercarriage. There, you got it. I think I'll just fuss around for another 20 minutes until I get the attention that I rate, then let you go about your evening. I love you Mom. Goodnight...Colin.

On the bandwagon

OK, everybody is doing it and as much as it pains me to jump on the bandwagon I figure this is a pretty good way to chronicle Colin's life and times. So, here we go...
