Another week just flew by and I return to work on Tuesday. So sad. We just celebrated Colin's 2nd birthday, and with that I believe we are entering the terrible 2s. Colin may not look like his mommy but I believe I see a lot of my temperament in him. As my mother always said about me " there once was a girl with a curl and when she was good she was really good but when she was bad she was HORRIBLE!!" We are seeing more frequent melt downs lots of crying and screaming. Then the next minute he is the sweetest thing ever with kisses and hugs for everyone. It definitly makes life more interesting. People are beginning to say t hat Conor has more of my features, finally a child that looks like me! He is so mellow and easy going and the chubs loves to sleep. It is so great!! We are enjoying the boys and all of the challenges they bring.

For Colin's birthday Chris and I took him to the butterfly pavilion, just the three of us. Conor stayed with some friends, so Colin could have mommy and daddy time.

when we returned home we quickly whipped up a cake and some chili and then had some friends over to help him celebrate. Colin's favorite big kid William gave him a trike for his birthday. He is slowly figuring it out and riding it all over the house. He keeps saying sit down mommy ride the bike. Unfortunately I am too big to sit it on it but I try.

Hello all,

we hope that this new year finds you all well. Ours is getting off to a quick start, the holidays rushed in and then out. Now it is time for Courtney to return back to work. It is hard to believe that 12 weeks have gone by since Conor was born and 2 years since Colin. Wow we are parents to a toddler and infant. Life goes by so fast. Colin is getting bigger everyday and his vocabulary is constantly expanding, he is a little parrot so we now have to censor everything we say. He is such a great big brother, always trying to help. If left alone with Conor for 2 seconds he has him undressed and is trying to change his diaper. Such a good little helper!!!

Conor smiles and giggles at his big brother, this is the beginning of a life long friendship.

We will keep you all posted as the boys grow!

Love Chris and Courtney
