  • Crawls on his hands and knees part time
  • Loves balls and cars more than anything
  • Follows instructions well (closing cabinets and doors, putting things back, etc)
  • Everyone LOVES his hair - he gets compliments all the time

Silhouette Art


We had the privilege of taking the kids to get their silhouette portraits made by Karl Johnson, who was in town for a session at a local toy store.  These portraits only took him about 2 min. each and are treasures to us!

Colin's Dentist Appt

Colin had his first dentist appointment! Just a week after his first birthday he had all 16 teeth (all but his 2-yr molars) and he had a great check-up, although he didn't like the experience that much.

Wait a minute - what's going on here?

Still don't know why I'm here...

Not a fan!

Happy it's over!
