December 12, 2009 - Keeping busy indoors

Well, there was no time to spare during winter... especially with Colin's busy activity schedule!

Ice skating, swimming and gymnastics... all super fun!

December 1, 2009 - getting ready for Christmas!

Colin is in full swing Christmas mode! We put up the big tree and Colin's own tree for his room this year.

Making 'Colin Snowmen' and our own homemade versions of gingerbread houses!

November 28, 2009 - gingerbread house making

A little gingerbread house making at Papa's house before we headed on our airplane back to MKE!

November 28, 2009 - Summertime over Thanksgiving!

We had amazing weather while in St. Louis visiting... so much so that we didn't wear jackets to MOBOT outside for the afternoon! (And yes, Uncle Dan is wearing shorts and a t-shirt.. :)

Family pictures!

Riding sheep statues... and yes, Colin has the look of a harley rider... on a sheep...

Colin and Kivrin on a cute little bench in the garden!

November 28, 2009 - growing Illini fans

...In the works... trying on their Papa's Illinois hat for size :)

November 27. 2009 - it's a bird, it's a plane!

NO! It's the space station orbiting in view from Earth at Papa's house, timed perfectly to watch from the parking lot while picking up take out Imo's for dinner! (thanks Uncle Dan for always knowing the exact times to watch these spectacular events in the sky :) This also prompted Colin's new love of SPACE, still continuing now!
