Another reason why Brian is such a great Dad...

So, it was just another day, I was cleaning up after dinner and Brian went to play with Colin in his room.  The two of them decided they wanted to play outside instead, which is fine by me!  They both came running into the kitchen to take a peak outside, and...IT WAS RAINING!  Oh, no!  They could have easily just played inside, but...
Brian and Colin changed into their swimsuits and headed outside to play in the rain!  
Colin had so much fun!! (and I think Daddy did too!)

I ran downstairs with my camera just to capture a few pictures.  Daddy is teaching Colin how to "drink" the rain :)


Yummy!!

Soccer is a lot more fun in the rain, they ran around our yard for a long time.  


And finally...I am still on my quest to get Maggie's smiles on camera...
Well, this is as good as I've gotten so far.  As soon as she sees the huge black camera, the smile fades, so I've got to be quick and just randomly aim & shoot.  
She's looking up at me and I'm holding the camera at chest level, but at least I got something!

Maggie is doing pretty well sleeping at night.  Its just the "getting her to sleep" part that is difficult some nights.  Once she's asleep, she's really starting to stretch her nights out for us.  That's a nice, welcome change.  I only have 3.5 weeks left of maternity leave, and then only 3 weeks after that I start my doctorate classes.  I figure I'm going to be needing some good sleep!

Colin's 2nd Birthday party is this weekend, and we have a lot of planning and preparing left to do.
It's supposed to be very hot here (mid 90's) on Saturday, so we'll probably be indoors for the majority of the party.  Maybe someday we'll luck out and be able to spend Colin's birthday outside.
