Third Time's a Charm

We watched Colin get his haircut first. Then Syd was okay to sit for her much needed trim. The lollipop helped, too.

A Visit with St. Nick

The Association invited families to visit with Santa and enjoy some crafts and snacks.
Old St. Nick sang a few songs with the kids and shared stories and fun facts from the North Pole.  Colin was sure this wasn't one of the dress up Santas, but the real deal!

Sydney didn't scream this time. Colin froze when Santa asked what he wanted for Christmas. Bill reminded him of the Power Rangers Zord.

A very sweet Santa, indeed!

Nana and Papa visit

Nana Mary and Papa Beard made the trek to visit for a long weekend. Thanks for coming up!

Sydney and her Hello Kitty doll match!

Gymnastics Camp

Colin gave gymnastics camp 6 out of 6 stars. We had a note from the boys coach to consider enrolling him in the next class. Several coaches commented on Colin's upper body strength. Well, he is half monkey!

Someone was bored...

err...creative.

First Hair Cut

Went about as well as Colin's first hair cut...

First Big Wheel Wipeout

We watched in slow motion as Sydney tilted off the big wheel, didn't put her hand out and ended up bonking her noggin on the asphalt. It didn't look as bad the next day. Now, we at least try to put on her helmet.

Lax Camp

Colin gave lacrosse camp 6 out of 6 stars. Three hours of running every day wore the kid out!

Peep Show

The Peeps mascot, Peep, visited Children's Hospitals to call Bingo on the in-hospital TV Show. Colin saw them setting up during our visit to meet Kasey Kahne. After our lunch, Colin said, "Let's go see the Peep Show!"

Pre-K Graduation

Very sweet program. Colin was the only kid who remembered to shake hands with his teachers. Funny Colin moment: kids were asked what they wanted to be when they grow up. Boys before Colin were listing professional basketball or soccer player to polite parents clapping. Colin said he was going to be a professional basketball player AND soccer player. Again polite clapping. Another boy said he was going to be a scientist which drew Oohs and Aahs from the crowd. The look on Colin's face was pure mortification! And sure enough, Colin was mad that we didn't cheer for him as loud as the future scientist's applause. Wanting to be the star of the show, that just broke his heart.
