Friends are the Best!

Colin had the pleasure of entertaining two friends last night, Isabella and Charlotte Felter. They had a great time playing and we can't wait to invite them over for more fun. (Many thanks to Nicole for taking the photos!)

A Mess By Any Other Name...

Colin, like most boys, is a pro at making a mess. He loves to paint on (or off) his easel and only occasionally misses his mouth when eating a s'more.

Irresistible!

These pictures are from a month ago, but they are so cute that they had to be shared. Our friend Jane took them at the bike race in Grandview.

Splish Splash

What would summer be without a splash in the pool? Colin has his own little pool for our yard and enjoys it every time.

Master Colin Must Wear His Socks

Colin gets a big kick out of making his socks "look funny." We like to think he's getting ready to be a future soccer star.

Sunday, July 19

Colin's fascination with large vehicles continues - every day this week he has visited the construction equipment working on Wickliffe Road. On Saturday he also got a guided tour of the fire engine at the UA Fire Department on Arlington Avenue. He spent most of the weekend out of doors, making the most of the great weather.
