Good Advice

Colby,

Yesterday morning I was carrying some stuff for you down my wooden stairs and my slippery socks caused me to take a nasty spill.  I was lying there in pain and asked you to give me a minute to recover.  You said "you should have used the railing dad."  I grant that it was good advice but I question your timing just a little (and perhaps your lack of concern).  :)  Below are two pics, one of you and me at the Durham in Omaha in front of a huge tree and one of you and your cousins at the zoo acting like monkeys:

Love you,
Dad

Sledding!

Colby,

This past weekend you and I spent with Olivia and her family in Milwaukee.  We caught a basketball game (Marquette lost in OT) and went sledding.  I failed to bring your snow pants so you borrowed Olivia's hot pink snow pants.  You rocked that look:

Later on the big hill, you went for your first ever sled ride with me.  It didn't go so well, :):

Sorry I laughed at your face plant, but I knew you weren't hurt (save your pride).

Either way, I was very proud of you for going on many more trips down the hill (my back still hurts from dragging you up that hill but it was worth it).

Here are a couple of my favorite pics from the day:

Love you and thanks for the great memories,
Dad
