Up north
Here’s hoping Jess gets around to sending me some of our recent pictures or posts them herself. We just got back from a beautiful weekend up on Torch Lake, and got some great pics of the man - lots of time on the sand, in the pool, he had a blast.
And he continues to amaze - I’m almost taking it for granted that he’s going to do or say something incredible every day. He got to put on his show for 2 of his 6 grandparents this weekend - Nana and ‘Eddie!’ Ed will forever be associated with high fives for Colin, as Ed taught him that maneuver along with the unique Ed follow-on - double thumbs up accompanied by shouting “hoo, hoo, hoo!” Colin loves it.
Some of his other great quotes:
- Us: “Do you want a waffle or a bagel” - Colin: “Both”
- The day after he fell off my deck chair and hit his cheek (so it was my fault), Nana asks him how his face is, he points at the spot where he hit the deck (ha) and says “Dada”
- Ten minutes into the four hour drive up north - Colin: “Mama?” - Jess: “Yes?” - Colin: “All done…home” - nice try buddy
There were many more, hopefully Jess can add a few. I can’t believe he’s going to be 2 so soon.
