Long Weekend

Dear Colby:

I had a great time with you this past weekend.  You said something to me that made my heart melt..."Dad, I love my time with you."  That made my month.  :)

A fun memory from this past weekend was you getting your face painted like a tiger at a Zoo event.  Here is a picture:

At Costco later, you kept fake clawing at me and other customers.  It was so cute!  Also over the weekend, we got to watch your beloved Blackhawks beat the Blues in the playoffs.  Here is a picture of you and me grabbing dinner before a game:

Thank you for another great weekend.  Love you so much!

Dad

Spring!

Dear Colby:

Spring in Chicago...there is nothing like it.  Yesterday (Sunday), we were playing baseball in shorts and a t-shirt.  Today (Monday), we are getting an inch of snow!  Anyways, I had a great time playing baseball with you over the past weekend.  I think we spent a solid 4 hours at the park playing.  I was sore on Sunday morning when I woke up (never been so happy to be so sore).  Here is a video of you hitting a home run:

Many people walking by gave genuine compliments on how well you can hit for a 4-year old.  I am so proud!

Love you,
Dad

Fight Fire with Gas?

Colby,

Last week you and I went to "Wonder Works" in Oak Park.  You dressed up as a fireman and put out the fire next door in the house several times.  You kept answering the phone and saying "your house is on fire...again!  Ugh." My favorite part was when you needed to refill your hose:

Nothing like putting out a fire with gasoline!

Thanks for another great memory.

Love you!
Dad
