Example

I know there are several examples of Robert's giving nature, and his thoughtfulness.  And I know I don't tell him thank you enough, and sometimes these examples go unnoticed.  Well, not today!

Before leaving for the weekend to hunt, Robert hung up Colby's bouncy seat in the doorway to the master bath.  He did this for several reasons:
1) Because he knows it's impossible to take a shower with a very mobile 9 month old without it.
2) Because he knows the doorway is too high for me to be able to put it up there myself.
3) Because he thinks ahead.
4) Because he's constantly thinking of ways to make my life easier

I love him!

The Pumpkin Patch

Two weeks ago (actually the day after the beach) we took Colby to Dewberry Farm, a fall festival type farm just north of Brookshire, about 40 minutes away.  This was mainly to get some pictures with Colby in and around some pumpkins (because babies and pumpkins are never not adorable), but also because they always have a corn maze and so many other things since I'd been there last.  Here are some pictures for you.

Family picture!

Colby's lost in the corn maze that, cruel surprise, doesn't have an exit!  He's not amused.

More interested in the dirt than the pumpkins...

 

Signature worried look.

 

They don't make 'em any cuter than this!

 

 
Posing for GQ!

That's all for now!  Stay tuned to see what Colby will be for Halloween!

Gone Fishin'

Yesterday, I took a personal day, as work has finally slowed down!  It was a beautiful day and we decided to spend it as a family.  Robert wanted to go to Sargent (sp?) where he and my dad have gone on several occasions.  So we bought a tent, packed up and drove down in the morning.

Robert went out into the ocean to fish, and I let Colby sit in the sand and stick every shell he could get his hands on into his mouth. 

Gorgeous day, but a bit windy, and all the sun and wind wore Colby out!

We stayed for several hours and then packed up to come home.  On the way in (and out) we saw this lovely house that is for rent...we might take the owners up on that...  :)
