First Day of Pre-K

Colin's first day of school this year was a success!  He is loving it so far.  His teachers name is Mrs. Griffin.  His favorite thing is recess so far and really enjoys going everyday.  The days are getting colder but he does not want to give up his summer shorts.  He has told me, "I already know how to read, but myteacher is teaching me about bubbles, so that is cool."  :-)

Durham Museum - Grandma Mary

On March 24, 2012 my Grandma Morrison passed away.  She was such an amazing lady and always such a happy person.  Colin really enjoyed her and I was nervous how he would take the news about Grandma's death.  When I told him Grandma had gone to heaven, he replied, "That's great, now she can see Grandpa Jack again."  It is amazing how young ones can turn a sad situation into a happy one.  He has brought us great joy and during the funeral he had many questions, but he still remembers Grandma for the fun times they had, like playing volleyball with a balloon and watching the birds from her window.  We love and miss you Grandma.
During this time, the boys and I took my mom on an outing to the Durham Museum!  We had a great time  and Colin and Mom shared malts at the 'soda shop'.

Easter 2012

Easter 2012 was a lot of fun. Colin gets so excited about the Easter Bunny and the amount of candy he gets.  He didn't understand why Ryan didn't get any candy and so amazed that the Easter Bunny knows that baby's can't have candy.
