So, for a rare treat, Colin spent 30 hours alone with Nanie and Pop Pop due to a much-anticipated/belated birthday weekend for Megan. There were definitely no rules, as it should be at the grandparents’ house, with treats like sugary cereal, chocolate milk and lounging by the pool. Here is the action caught on film…

Beat down!
Google Auto Awesome is…well…awesome. Every day, it uses our photos backed up on Google Drive, and creates something fun (using a program, not an actual person of course). Sometimes it’s adding David Hasselhoff in the background, floating hearts, or combining a few similar photos to create a GIF. Here are some of our favorites, including…
A Yummy Birthday
Having just returned from Grand Cayman the night before, everyone was pretty wiped for Brian’s birthday. But, that didn’t stop us from eating well in between lounging at home and trying to rest up for the week ahead! We hit up all the standard “B” fare…
Swimming with Rays
The top destination within Grand Cayman is Stingray City. So, naturally, it was a must do on our itinerary. We didn’t time the weather right, as it was pretty cloudy, and eventually rained. But, we were the first among the tourists to be at the infamous Sandbar to meet a bunch of slimy, squishy new…
Turtle Mania
While lounging on the beach (um, more like running around) was fun, we broke things up with a trip to the Grand Cayman Turtle Farm. Here, we got to see turtles large and small – from afar and up close. Here are a few shots capturing our adventure…
Island Living
For the first vacation of 2014 to come in mid-May, we were ready! This time, we took a three-hour flight south to Grand Cayman. We enjoyed a condo on the beach that was smack in the middle of Seven Mile Beach. It had plenty of space to prepare C’s meals, have a comfortable place to…
Colin’s First Year: By the Numbers
What do you get when you cross first-time parents who tracked all of Colin’s diapers and bottles, with an accountant father? A whole lot of data. In honor of his 15-month mark, here’s what we went through during Colin’s first year: 2,476 bottles totaling 86 gallons of milk/formula 2,611 diapers We don’t even want to…
Kids Laugh at the Darnedest Things
So, it never ceases to amaze what successfully distracts and/or amuses Colin when he’s fussy or we’re trying to entertain him. In a recent installment of “Kids Laugh at the Darnedest Things”, C decided that his father jumping was the funniest thing…ever. Hey, whatever works!
First Day of Daycare
So the day that all new parents dread (and possibly relish at the same time) had come – Colin was off to daycare! To ease him into it, Colin only spent a half day with his new provider, Wafaa. Wafaa and her family are Jordanian, so we are hopeful that Colin can pick up some…
