Playdate with Amy & Luke

On Tuesday, we met up with my friend Amy and her son Luke who live in Raleigh, NC. Amy and I grew up down the street from each other since 5th grade. Luke is only 4 months younger than Colby, but they had a great time together. If they lived closer, I'm sure the boys would be great friends!

Bridgewater Carnival

I took Colby to visit his great-grandma Diehl in Bridgewater, VA. While we were there, they were having a carnival. So, we ate country ham sandwiches, pie a la mode, and rode some rides. Colby loved the merry-go-round. Everytime he came around, he would look for me and wave.





On the way home, we stopped in Winchester at one of our favorite childhood spots! Colby was cranky, but he perked up for this treat...until it was time to get back in the car.

4th of July

All the neighborhood kids met up at the flagpole and had a bike parade. Colby rode a little 4-wheeler that goes when you push a button. Unfortunately, he hasn't learned to steer yet and it moves pretty slowly. But, Jason got a stick to push him around the circle.

Jason even got in on the fun as he rode around on a custom bike one of the neighbors brought over.

Then, we went out on the boat with Pa and Gigi to watch the fireworks.

Father's Day Weekend

We had a nice Father's Day weekend celebrating Jacob's 3rd birthday, checking out Adam & Niki's new house, cuddling Lilly, and spending time with the dads in our life.

Rehoboth Beach Week

We took a family vacation to Rehoboth Beach, DE this past week with Jason's mom and brother. It was a fun week. Colby LOVED hanging out at the beach and wasn't afraid of the water at all. The water was freeeeezing!




Uncle Matt & Colby = Best Buds



We had a couple foggy days and Colby had so much fun with his family.


Celebrating my mom (Nana)'s birthday with some of the BEST crabs we've ever had!!


Celebrating Uncle Matt's Birthday all dressed up.

It was a great week, and we're looking forward to our next trip!

Friday Fun

Colby's new favorite thing to do is to walk the block with his lawn mower. He doesn't push it, he just wants to pull it down the street. It's so cute!


The past few Fridays we've met up with some of the neighborhood kids and their moms for some fun. Most of the kids are older than Colby, and they have cool bikes that he's always trying to ride.

Mother's Day

I know I'm late getting this post up, but I wanted to share pictures from our Mother's Day. We spent the day with both our moms in Reston Town Center.


After lunch, we walked down the street and found a fun fountain. Colby had a blast trying to catch the water and figure out where it disappeared to.


Until he got a little too close...

We finally did it

The grandparents are not going to be too happy about this post. We finally cut Colby's hair! Don't worry. He still has lots of cute curls! He wasn't too cooperative, so we only managed to trim around his ears and the back of his neck. So, it's still pretty long in the back and could use some more trimming, but he didn't want me to cut anymore. I was actually kind of sad. My little baby is a little boy and growing up too fast!

Giving mommy kisses before she cuts Colby's curls!


Mommy is concentrating very hard since Colby isn't sitting very still.


After:
(A couple days later. He's not feeling too well, hence the sad face)

Lillian Elizabeth Diehl

Our newest niece has arrived!! She was born at 5:58pm on Saturday, April 25th to my brother, Adam, and Niki. She's only 3lbs. 8oz. and 17.5 inches long, but she's doing great. The doctors will keep her in the NICU until she's 5 lbs.




It's hard to tell how small she is from the pictures, but if you compare her to the nose bulb, you can get a better idea. Her head is about the size as my fist. She's sooo tiny, but precious and we can't wait for her to come home!! Congratulations Adam, Niki, and Jacob! :)
