Happy Thanksgiving!

We will be thinking of all of you on Thanksgiving. You guys are what we are thankful for this year. Colin has completed our family & brought so much joy back to our lives. Have a wonderful day & we can't wait to visit on Saturday :)

PS...Doesn't Colin look like Sheila in this pic?

Do we look alike??

LOVE

Colin as Dorothy~

This morning I needed to run downstairs for a minute and asked Eily to keep her eye on her brother. This is what I came back to!

He didn't seem to mind :)

The world according to Eily....

Every morning we have the same routine. Eily wakes up, climbs into bed with me and asks over & over again, "Mom, how many more minutes until my brudder wakes up?" This continues several times until we hear squeaking from the monitor. Eily runs into Colin's room, climbs into his crib, and kisses and hugs him & tells him how very much she loves him. Colin has a similar infactuation as his eyes light up at the sight of her & he has his famous open mouth smile.

Today, as Eily was winding down in Colin's crib she turned to me and said: "Mom, you know...Colin & I came from the same heaven. God sent me to you first & Colin was really sad. Then God sent him next & he fell in love with me all over again."

I couldn't have said it any better :)

Colin's Baptism

Here are some highlights from the day. We chose my sister Erin & my brother Pat to be Colin's Godparents. Colin was great in church & enjoyed the celebration afterwards. I prayed for great weather & my prayers were answered! Both Eily & Colin were tired tonight :)

Look who's in his exersaucer!

As always, Colin amazed us by being able to stand up & play in his exersaucer! He was a little afraid at first when he hit the cow and it started to moo...but loves it now!

Thank You :)

I wanted to show you how cute the bookends look in Colin's bedroom. We think of you each time we look at them. I am sure they are something Colin will pass down to his children someday :)

Playin' in the leaves...
