Making Tracks at the Zoo

2009-06-07_2187

The four of us met up with Kerry’s sis and her friend Dawn for the Children’s Hospital’s Make Tracks for the Zoo 5K. This was our second 5K of the season. Erin participated in the 1/4 mile children’s race. I was impressed as she ran it full steam for the entire distance. Colin laid back, snackin’ on some Cheerios. More pics after the jump…

Erin had her fourth birthday and first “real” birthday party with invited friends. Of course, we had to blow it out-the-block. Grandma P, Aunt Tara and Cousins Caleb and Abby made the trek from Indy for the festivities. Pics after the jump…

Bees

I came home from work on Thursday to find my neighbors hanging out in their driveway, looking up at the Spruce tree that boarders our property line. Closer inspection revealed that thousands of bees had made a temporary home atop the Spruce. My neighbor called a local beekeeper’s association, who called in a keeper see if they could help. The keeper responded and said that it was the biggest swarm he’s seen. Probably close to 10,000 bees. Evidently, there is a hive in some old grown Oak trees, behind the houses across the street, which had grown too big, forcing a swarm (with their queen) to find a new home… the Spruce. The keeper was successful in sweeping the queen into a box, which caused the rest of the bees to follow. Some pics after the jump…

Colin’s First Birthday

2009-02-28_1248

We celebrated Colin’s first birthday today. As with most first birthdays, Colin was oblivious to what was going on. All he knew is that there were a lot of people making a fuss over him, cake and wrapping paper. Happy Birthday, buddy. More pics after the jump…

Snow days

Erin and Colin spent the day playing in the snow with their cousins and driving their Aunt Kelly mad. Needless to say, Erin fell asleep very quickly that evening and didn’t make a peep. I think I’m going to take a snow day next time. More pics after the jump…
