Boy in the Bubble - Summer '09

Colin's summer started out a little rough - he broke his arm and was in a cast for 4 weeks, no swimming, no playground, no fun. But he bounced back and had a great time going to the pool, visiting Slim for his 80th birthday, petting animals at the zoo and going to Daddy's softball games.

February to March, 2009

Colin's been busy this past winter. He helped mom ring in her 40th birthday, went to the zoo several times - courtesy of Nonie and Grandad's Christmas present, and visited the Please Touch Museum with Cousin Thea.

Thanksgiving and Christmas

Colin had a great holiday season - starting with a traditiona Thanksgiving at Nonie and Grandad's. He spent Christmas in Michigan with the Zobl clan and got his first real encounter with snow. He also left Philly a crawler and returned a walker! Very exciting, now we're starting to understand the saying "be careful what you wish for."

Happy New Year Everyone!

2008 World Series Champs!!!

Although this blog is techinically dedicated to Colin, we feel that he was our good luck charm for taking us to the World Series title. Here are a few exciting photos from the celebratory parade.

Colin's First Birthday

Wow - can't believe a year has gone by already. It seems like only yesterday we were bringing Colin home from the hospital to our disheveled home. Now he's a year old and the house is done (mostly). We had a great birthday party on Saturday, Gran and Slim and Aunt Erin, Uncle Jon, and Cousin Thea made the trip to celebrate with us. The Thomas the Tank Engine cake and cupcakes were a big hit, but the bouncing Zebra was not, at least not with Colin, but Thea enjoyed it.

Colin's First Birthday Party

Trip to Michigan

I know I'm a little behind on these posts. In August, Colin took his first plane ride to Detroit. He was very well behaved and pretty much slept through the flight.
We had a great time with Gran and Slim, Aunt Betsy, Uncle Jim and Aunt Nancy, Cousins Erik and Alec, and Hamlet the Dog. We celebrated Aunt Marilyn's 70th birthday party and met the Zawacki cousins for the first time. Mom and Dad even got to go see a movie for the first time in a while.
