Our newest addition is growing so fast! He was 1 month old yesterday already. Colin loves his baby brother. He makes sure to let us know when "ba-Sean" is crying! We are so happy to have the little guy in our family.

Brothers

Mommy's little man

Another Boy!!

Sean Anthony Sanders was born at 9:30 am Tuesday, Oct. 6th. He weighed 7.4 lbs. We are so happy he is part of our family! We left for the hospital around midnight because my water broke, but I had no contractions till they finally induced me! 10 hours later, after some rest and then much pain, he arrived!! Take a look at more pics at this link: Slide Show

Birthday!

I would love to show a few pics of what we did for my birthday, but for some reason my pictures won't upload! I'll get them up soon hopefully. Anyhow, yesterday we got Colin a babysitter and Tommy took me to Amish country, about an hour from here! It was a nice ride and we went to the famous cheese factory that so many people talk about. The samples were very good. We then went to The Der Dutchman Restaraunt. It was a very nice buffet! We also went to a few little shops in the area then came home! It was a relaxing time. We will definitely have to go back in the near future.

Fun Times

We had a very nice time at our place this evening! Had a cookout and we thought there were only going to be 8 people, but when it all got started there were atleast 17 there. It was great to be able to get together with friends, eat good food and have some fun afterwards!

Etc.

It's been a busy summer so far. We've been traveling with the college mixed quartet. It has taken us to many different states, camps and churches! It is good to be home for a couple weeks now to get pulled back together! As far as my pregnancy, I'm 26 weeks and things are going very well! The time is getting closer and I have so much to get ready! Colin is getting so big and talking so much. We can't understand everything he's trying to say, but he knows what he's trying to tell us!! There aren't many pictures cause I didn't take that many since we've been gone.

This is Colin with his 3rd cousin, Joanna.

Reading intently in the van

He loves blueberries and I didn't catch him in time before he dumped them all

Dayton Air Force Museum

Us at Dayton

Colin and Daddy love airplanes

Pilot and Co-Pilot

You can't see this very well, but this is my absolute favorite plane...the Stealth B2 Bomber.

Vacation

We had a small vacation last week in PA. Here are just a few pics of what we did.

I made this tote for the occasion of Memorial Day weekend!

Colin is ready to go!

At Farmer's Inn...Colin loved the animals

In his life jacket suit. He was happy to be in water

A ride on the tractor with Daddy and Great Grandpa

Phone

There's nothing like watching a little boy grow up so fast! Colin amazes us everyday with what he knows (he even knows how to be bad...wow!) He is taking us through yet another stage of childhood. It seems like we're at the terrible 2's already! He's been a good boy so far, but just needs a few lessons in life to get him on the right path again =) He's wearing his mom out though!! Well, all is well with my pregnancy so far. On Monday I'll be 18 weeks already. One of Colin's favorite things to do is act like he's talking on the phone, so here's a few pics of him doing just that. Also, when he's on the phone he laughs once in a while (he must see us laughing). It's cute.

Our crazy boy likes to wear mommy's shoes

Talking on his phone

He must've thought something was funny!

This is his "trumpet" He makes Daddy blow in it too.

He wanted to make sure Daddy was smiling for the camera.

Flowers

Colin enjoys playing in the flowers and blowing the white stuff into the wind! He just loves the great outdoors (our backyard).

Fun at the Park

We took Colin to the park today and I don't have to tell you that he absolutely loved it! He was non-stop, and when he got home he was ready for a nap.
