1st Day of Preschool

We both survived! Mommy didn't shed a tear, Colby shed a ton, but we got through it!

The drop-off was a breeze, but when Colby realized I wasn't there, he began to cry...for three hours. Needless to say, he napped well when we got home!

No mother wants their kids to be upset, but I have to tell you, my new-found freedom was awesome! I shopped without running through the stores, and I ran 5.5 miles without pushing a jogging stroller! I was loving life, but still missing my guy(s). (Joe, too, he's been in NYC this week). The preschool director said give it two weeks and he will love it...I hope so.

Enjoy his school pics.

1st Day of Preschool

Colby is 2!

I cannot believe our "baby" is two years old! It seems like just yesterday I was anxiously awaiting his arrival, eating as much spicy food as humanly possible to speed up his arrival...and then waiting an extra week! Colby even had a sense of humor back then! ;-)

Here are some pics of his party, unfortunately he was coming down with a 103 fever so he wasn't at his best. His second birthday was topped off by puking all over a doctor's office the next day. Poor birthday dude.

Colby Turns 2!

Our Thomas Adventure

Right before Colby turned 2 he became obsessed with Thomas. Luckily, the IL Railway Museum was hosting an event called "A Day out with Thomas" and we got to go with Matt, Julie, Josh and Will. It was a great time. Enjoy the pics!

Dells Trip, July 2011

We had an amazing time with our Villa Park friends at The Great Wolf Lodge in the Wisconsin Dells.

We would love to make it an annual trip!

Bubbles!

I discovered a few weeks back that Colby likes to eat bubbles. Yes, he will be the kid in school that eats glue! ;-)

Much to my surprise, he was able to blow bubbles without the assistance of a bubble wand after taking a swig of bubble solution. Probably not the best parenting decision, but it was super cute and funny.

I was finally able to capture this moment on video...enjoy!

Easter 2011

Colby really enjoyed the egg hunt and treats this year. We are still going through our chocolate eggs! ;-) We were lucky to have Kevin and Angel in town, too. It was a lot of fun to be with family!

Missed April, will be better in May

Sorry, gang, for being absent in April with the posts. Here are some cute pics of Spring fun. Hopefully May gives us a chance to be outside a bit more.

Rain, Rain Go Away!

I love playing the Wii with my Dad!

My new Cozy Coupe, probably faster with the wheels on...
