{Colin receives daily "report cards" from daycare. Tuesday's warmed my heart }

We realized we take alot less pictures without Colin around.

Happy Birthday Babe! Long after the smoke is gone from the candles (there would have been a lot had I used 33 candles), the birthday windsock is put away, and the cake is eaten, I hope you continue to know just how much you mean to C and I. Daily I am reminded how lucky I am to be your wife. I could not ask for a better husband or father. You are a great provider, protector, and friend. You are goofy, funny, and playful. You are attentive, affectionate, and giving. You are a hands-on dad who always helps not only because I appreciate the help but because there is nowhere you would rather be than with Colin even at 6:15am. Thank you for all you do. We appreciate and love you more than I can ever express. I hope all your wishes come true...

Things have been so hectic that I'm way behind with pictures. We had an extended family picnic a few weekends ago at Spring Grove park. I adore Spring Grove for pictures, so I brought my camera along in hopes to get a few cute family pictures. We took a bunch but here are a few of my favorites of everyone. I can't wait to head back again soon once the leaves start changing and hit up a few other spots.
