Swim team

Baylor is not sure if he wants to try out for the swim team this summer, because in his words, he just doesn't want to wear one of the "black tightie whities"... I think he was referring to a speedo :)

Happy Birthday Colby!

Baylor and I woke Colby up this morning singing Happy Birthday, and his first reaction was to lay back down and say "NO"...  Wait...that is how I feel on my birthdays!  But once he was awake he went with Baylor and wanted to open one of his presents, that's my boy! 

I was watching Baylor and Colby be silly at breakfast, and of course, I got teary-eyed (WHY DOES THAT SEEM TO HAPPEN NOW!).  OKAY, I might get a little mushy now, so if mushy make you sick look away NOW :).

 I started to think about how nervous Don and I were two years ago that after all of the ups and downs of the last 5 or so years that we would meet our little baby, and how we just hoped that despite his early arrival that he would healthy!  I think what Colby lacked in the beginning he is making up for now!

As I look at our feisty, and I mean feisty, 2 year old, I am so thankful that he came into our life!  After a LONG wait, our little family is complete and he has made us better people!  He has made me a little more relaxed, he has made Don a little more silly, and he has made Baylor a WONDERFUL big brother who has taken on additional responsibilities and is growing up very quickly now.  OK, I will stop because now I am teary again... good grief!

Below are some pictures from Colby's last two years!  As the lady at Target once called Colby.. "the TINIEST baby in the world" is growing up!

Old Nana

We were at dinner and we were talking about how nice it will be next year since Nana will be retired.  Baylor then wanted to know where Nana would be living?  We asked why, he said he thought because she was retiring that she would have to live at a retirement home! 

Poor old Nana :)
