Weekend in Williamsburg

We spent a wonderful two days in Williamsburg last weekend with the Wilkinson clan. Colin had a great time and spent quite a bit of that time hanging out with his Grandpa G. He loved sitting on his lap playing with the remote controls:)

A milestone of note was that we finally got a good pitcture of Colin and his Aunt Amanda West - woo hoo!

New Mexico

We just got back from an amazing trip to New Mexico to visit my Dad and Valerie. They moved there permanently in June and this was our first visit. We had a fantastic time. The ranch (500 acres!) was beautiful and the weather was perfect.

My sister Amanda and her husband Chris met us at the airport and we drove the three hours to the ranch from the Albuquerque airport. Colin was fantastic on the plane which was a huge relief. He had been a bit of a "pistol" the last few weeks so we were pretty worried the travel would be a nightmare. But, he proved us wrong...he was practically perfect. He was actually close to perfect the entire trip. Not a huge surprise though as the ranch is a little boys' paradise! Tons of land, dirt, water, animals and more...what more could you want. He hung out on the 4-wheeler,played with the dogs and cats,got on a horse with his Grandpa,threw rocks in the stream and generally had an awesome time.

We can't wait until our next trip!!!

WALKING

Oh yeah, have to write about our latest big milestone...Colin is walking now. He started off by walking a few steps the weekend of Farmapalooza and by the next week (Sept 29) he was walking across the room. He isn't running or jumping yet but I am pretty sure it won't be long now:)

Running Behind

I'm sadly behind in posting so I am going to try to catch up with a few updates.

We had a great weekend at the end of September in the mountains for Farmapalooza - a big party thrown by one of our neighbors that includes music, a moonbounce, food and lots of fun. My mom, Lynne and Wells came for the weekend and we all had a great time at the party and hanging out at the cabin.

Brad and Wells competed in and won the Badminton Tournament. Colin thought he could play too. Check it out...
