Pictures From This Summer

As always, I'm remiss in getting photos out there for Colin's Aunties in a timely manner. My apologies. Here are a few snaps from Colin learning to ride a bike - he did it in two tries - as well as his first Little League game. Enjoy!

SIX!

As hard as it is to believe, the boy turned six yesterday. Time just flies by. Grandparents, Aunts, sister and friends all went to Run, Jump and Get Head Lice for a rollicking good time. The cake was made by a friend of ours that specializes in unique cakes - it was quite a hit. The kids took to acting like zombies at one point. After the kiddies were sufficiently sugared up and disease-infested, we headed back to our place for a cookout - the later pictures are from that round of festivities. I spent the lion's share of the weekend assembling various Lego Star Wars vehicles. (I secretly kind of enjoyed it . . .but don't tell Mary.) Thank you to everyone for your kind gifts - he's enjoying everything immensely. Seeyouse later this summer, for sure . . .

Preliminary Pix from Kasi's wedding

Here are pictures from the rehearsal dinner - more to come for sure.

Mother's Day 2013

Well, it's been quite a while - but wanted to share one of Mary's 2013 Mother's Day gifts with you since it's all about the boy:


Enjoy!

Ms. Mollie Gets Married

I'm a little late in posting our pictures from Mollie and Paul's wedding - apologies. Here are the ones where everyone had their eyes open. Enjoy!

The next day at the wedding; Colin's not terribly interested in wearing either his tux or his boutonniere:
He became semi-pliant after I pinned the corsage to his lapel:He DID NOT want anything pinned to his tux:
We all convinced him, and here he is as the ring bearer:
Mollie and Paul - while Tissa presents:

Reception:

Daddy dressed Colin in his Clash undershirt; we all think it was well received. Either way, Colin flirted with the hotties naturally:
