We realized yesterday that Savannah turned 4 years old - so Matt created a "cake" for her and Colin was able to blow out the candles.

Dance Dance Dance

Colin loves to dance and sing. Here are a few of his latest moves.

Winter?

Saturday morning we woke up to about 2 inches of snow on the ground. Colin was really excited to go outside and play in it.

The cat usually stays outside, but we have let it in more lately because it was wounded by a barbwire fence we think. 20 stitches later and a Sunday trip to the vet...Nalo is doing better and had his first day out of the garage today (10 days in).

September, where did you go?

September was a crazy month for the Iowa Steele's. I was in the hospital for the majority of it dealing with my Crohn's disease. We are hoping that it is behind us now and we are looking forward to a healthy and enjoyable fall. Matt's parents came down to help us out with Colin and all the other daily chores which was MUCH appreciated. Colin had so much fun and continues to talk about their time together. They visited the Durham Western Heritage Museum (where our wedding reception was), went to the tractor supply store, and I believe made a few trips to Home Depot and Target. Matt and I are so lucky to have such supportive family's.

Baptism for Bradley

This morning we had Baby Bradley's baptism. Bradley is the newest addition to the Hughes Clan. David and Jennifer finally had their little boy after 3 girls. Matt and I are honored and excited to be Bradley's Godparents.

Colin enjoys Grandma and Grandpa Hughes' garden. He has had a lot of watermelon and has been eating tomatoes like apples. It is usually one bite of tomato then on to the next one!

Children's Museum

Colin was REALLY excited to see Elmo at the Children's Museum until it was time to sit on his lap...I had to get next to Elmo first before Colin would even get close. Then after he was comfortable with him, he didn't want to leave. He had Elmo bump it.

This room at the museum is full of ball (like Chuckie Cheese) it was really fun! I had to bribe him with popcorn to leave the museum. I am sure we will be going back soon, he really wants to show his dad.



There was a room that was a place to have a performance....Colin's was short and sweet.
