Visiting Great Granddad

Monday was a fun day because we were able to go visit Brian's Granddad and spend some time with him. We don't get out to see him as often as we should, but we feel it's really important to bring Colin and get some fun pictures. We stayed for about an hour, and Grammie and Granddad were there too. There was freshly popped popcorn for us to eat, and Great Granddad had a balloon in his room from Father's Day, so Colin thought that was the coolest thing ever. He really is just in awe of balloons. We left when it was time for Great Granddad to go eat dinner, but we had a nice visit and hopefully we can come down more often to see him.

Brian and I also started staining our deck (which was much needed because we added onto our existing deck about a year ago and so we have a mismatched bunch of old and new wood). This project is turning out to be more of a pain than we originally thought, but we are getting through it a little at a time at the end of our work day. Colin goes to bed pretty early still, so we get a couple hours of work in every night. Slowly but surely, we'll get it done...

Colin eating the wood slats, yummy!

Just being a happy baby boy!
