spring 2011

just in time for summer ;), here are some of our favorite pictures from this spring!




cousins kayla & kendall visited, and collin took them to the "please touch" museum... they played with cars, spaceships, fire trucks, art projects, and then they played make-believe at the grocery store, hospital, construction site, garden and ended the visit by splashing in the water tables with the ducks and visiting alice & wonderland!










(oh, so sweet!!)


~easter 2011~
during the week before easter, sylvia hosted an easter egg hunt with the usual gang at her house.



(the eggs were hidden in the trickiest of places!)




grandma & grandpa visited and collin took them on a hayride to "bunnyville" at linvilla orchards.



bunnyville!!

(sometimes the easter bunny is just a little scary...)




baby chicks, baby sheep & baby goats, oh my!! we still talk about these sheep and chicks ... all of the time :)



collin also showed grandma & grandpa the first house of congress during a tour of "old city" philadelphia.





collin also started taking art class where he sculpts playdough, he paints with brushes, his fingers and even his feet!, and he learns to be artsy with stickers, popsicle sticks, and water!


high heels, pink beads, makeup brush.... better than tools and trucks?? i think so!


yogurt is the FUNNIEST thing ever!




he worked all morning on his hair


for mother's day we had a ~delicious~ brunch at nudy's cafe (where collin got a little goofy), and then shopped for flowers, trees and shrubs at a local farm where there were .... baby goats!!! baa, baa





collin got to spend a weekend at rehoboth beach, delaware. here he is at funland - loved the ferris wheel, hated the merry-go-round and couldn't get enough of driving the boat and firetrucks!

joy of LOVE day 26. bromance

{yes, the topic really IS bromance. since all of jason's main bromanciers are not in the philadelphia area, we're compromising... kind of)

joy of LOVE day 25. when you love them the most



the time of day that i love jason the most is definitely the minute that he walks through that door at the end of the day. we all love him then, can't you tell? and i love him even more if he walks through that door before 7pm!
