A fun Saturday

Balancing boy

Nature provides some of the best "toys" for little boys to play with.

Haircut

Mommy took Colby for a not so good and very short haircut today.









Daddy believes this will help to convince Mommy to let Colby's hair grow long.

Colby enjoyed his visit to the orchard in Bethel, CT

Emergency room visit

Colby awoke late Sunday night with breathing difficulty. Following calls to Grandma (a pediatric nurse) and our pediatrician off we went to the hospital emergency room. After Colby was successfully treated we arrived home at 3am Monday morning. Ashley went into work a little later than usual while Brian stayed home with Colby. After asking himself "what did my mother do in these situations?" he made pancakes for Colby's breakfast. Nothing makes a bad night better than your favorite breakfast meal.




Colby made progress during the day and was happy to see his Mommy when she returned home from work.




We all slept well Monday night!

End of Summer

We are celebrating the end of a fantastic summer by spending the weekend on Nantucket.  Here are many pictures of what has been a great trip.  Highlights were the Critter Cruise Saturday afternoon during which Colby caught his first fish followed by four more including a Sea Robin.

We stayed at the White Elephant hotel.

It became Freedom Day at the end of the trip which meant we put all that we caught back into the ocean
