...how can you NOT love this kid?

Sunday after church we traveled to the east side of the state for Mike's Aunt and Uncle's housewarming party. It was nice seeing family, although our time was short (due to lack of nap and a very active little boy). Colin loved the huge sandbox and the bounce house.

Monday, we spent the afternoon with Mike's dad, Amy and the kids. I forgot the camera in the car but we had a fun afternoon and it was nice to catch up.

Colin went to daycare on Wednesday. GymC0 comes to his daycare on Wednesdays. He went last week and I heard and read about how much fun he had hanging from the bars, so I came this week with camera in hand. Of course, this week's equipment wasn't as exciting but it was fantastic to watch. For the privacy of the other kids, I won't post any of the pictures that show the kids' faces.

The other night while we gave Colin a bath, I remembered we hadn't taken bath pictures in awhile. Colin loves bath time. He loves playing in the bubbles. He loves pouring water on him. He loves blowing bubbles in the water.


Saturday Mike and I had to work opposite shifts. Me 8-4, Mike 3-who knows when. So Colin worked played at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Men hard at work.

Here's to another fun, picture filled week.

Yup another video! He's usually a little more animated but he was distracted by something on the TV.

I've been trying to take this video for weeks. Anytime the camera came out, he'd want nothing to do with it.

I've been having a terrible horrible downright emotionally draining shitty week. Mike is out with Brandon, Colin is sleeping, so I'm having a drink and about to pop in a movie.

Instead of spending more time worrying, crying, praying, and stressing out about things, I thought I'd take a second to mention a few things that make me smile; a few things that I'm thankful for.

• How Colin covers his mouth with his chubby baby hand when he coughs or says "thank you welcome" after pretty much everything. I adore his already forming manners. I am so in love with that little boy.
• For a friend who has been praying for me because she knows how difficult this week has been. Her friendship means more than she ever knows.
• A husband who knew how terrible of a day I was having and came home with pizza so I wouldn't have to think about making dinner
• A {too} compassionate Christian owner who sat and listened to me for over an hour the other day and even teared up when I said I had spent my day off worrying about a situation. An owner who gave me a good Christian gut check. An owner who cares more about people than earning a buck.
• The weather has been wonderful lately. If I could bottle it up, I would.

So while my week has stunk a big fat one, I still have alot to be happy about.
