Vacation!

So I made you all wait as long as I could, but alas, here they are, at least some of them!

As most of you know we went on vacation with Colin last week, we took a cruise and visited Jamaica; Grand Cayman; and Cozumel, Mexico. It was all we could do to drag him off the beaches and out of the water! It was a lot of work, but it was definitely more fun for having him there! He truly had a great time and made friends everywhere he went.

Day 1

A little round of putt-putt with Momma and Dadda.

Hey, where did my ball go?

There it is!

Ahhh...exhausted.

Day 2

We all know he loves fountains, and water!

Yay, sunny enough to swim!

Day 3

With Dadda at Dunns River Falls in Jamaica!

Day 7

Back in Galveston, feeding the pigeons bananas with Gramma and Grandpa on our balcony.

These were the best pictures from our camera. I'll get Gramma and Grandpa's pics this weekend and post some more really good ones next week. Stay tuned!

Grandpa Baby

Colin goes through phases of only wanting the attention of one of the adults in his life, more often than not it is Grandpa that he desires...and there's nothing wrong with that when you've got one heck of a Grandpa :)

Grandpa sometimes comes to get Colin after he's woken from his nap and takes him shopping, giving Momma a couple hours of break. In this video, Colin had just woken up and Grandpa was on his way to get him. Momma was putting his shoes on and telling him that he was going to go spend the afternoon with Grandpa.

Grand Easter Weekend!

Egg Hunt One: GG's Church

GG attends a small church and invited us to join their egg hunt on Saturday morning. Colin was the smallest by 3 years, so they gave him his own patch of grass and eggs. Gramma, Grandpa, Gramma L, GG, Momma and Dadda were all armed with cameras and helping hands. He saw the eggs as we were coming in, so he was ready to go! We were pretty surprised at how well he did. He went right for the eggs and after Momma showed him to put the eggs in his basket, he knew just what to do.

Egg Hunt Two: At Home

Later that afternoon, we decided to go ahead and have an egg hunt for him at home. Rain was forecasted for Sunday (Easter) so we went ahead with the hunt Saturday in our backyard. The same crew came over to help him out, and he had a grand time!

Easter Sunday: The Goods

Today all the Grammas and Grandpa came over for Easter lunch and to give Colin some goodies. He got an Easter basket from Gramma and Grandpa, then one from Momma and Dadda, and a third from GG. We hid them around the living room and he found them pretty quickly. Amongst other things he got a camera (toy) and telephone from Gramma and Grandpa, some Sesame Street figurines, and a cool book and sunglasses from GG. He got lots of goodies (candy!) that he took full advantage of. He's also been learning to use a spoon, so when eating some dessert with GG he had his own spoon, but that wasn't enough, so he stole her spoon too!
