Memorial Day Weekend

Boy was this a busy weekend. I'm not sure we have recuperated from it yet. Friday we went with Mike's parents to Lake Waramaug. Aunt Trisha was home for the weekend and she came too. We had a nice picnic and enjoy some wonderful sunshine. Aunt Trisha brought Colby for a ride in the kayak. Mike caught a small fish and it scared Colby when it jumped out of Grandpa's hands toward him. Colby enjoyed "casting" his fishing pole with a bobber on it. He actually did very well.

Saturday Mike and I had a family wedding to go to so Colby spent the day with my parents. They brought him to an airshow where he was able to sit in different planes and see them fly. He had a blast! They also went to my Aunt Doone's to get the miniature horses ready for the parades on Sunday and Monday.

Sunday we had the Woodbury parade. It is a small parade but Colby enjoyed it. Once again he sat with cousin Corbin in the surrey. I drove Willy in the small driving cart. Part way through the parade, Colby sat with me and wanted to drive too. We both held the reigns for a little while but soon I heard, "No Mommy! I do it mineself!" Thankfully Aunt Doone was leading Willy so Colby was able to drive! He was so proud of himself.

Monday was the early day. We had the Naugatuck parade. Corbin and Colby were in the surrey again. The Naugatuck parade is very long so Mommy and Daddy got lots of exercise. After a little nap at home, we went to my Uncle Lou's for a picnic. Colby enjoyed playing with the other kids. It was a fun, but tiring weekend!

Unfortunately, the only day Mommy remembered the camera was on Sunday. My parents did take photos at the air show, which I hope to get soon. But for now, here's a few from Woodbury.

A Busy Weekend Planned

I hadn't realized but I haven't blogged on here in a week. We have been busy I guess. I hope to get some great photos this weekend though to add. We have a busy weekend planned.

Tomorrow Colby is going to be in the Woodbury Memorial Day Parade. My grandfather, Poppy, used to have miniature horses on his farm. Now most of them are gone but my Aunt Doone has a few and we still do the parades in Woodbury and Naugatuck. The Woodbury one is short and pretty quiet. The only problem, it is in the afternoon right at nap time. Colby will be riding in a horse drawn carriage with my cousin's son Corbin. We will walk along beside them. Before the parade we are going to have Colby's hair cut. It has grown a lot since March and is going wild! On Memorial Day Colby can be in the Naugatuck parade too, but I want to see how well he does tomorrow. The Naugatuck parade is long and very noisy. They even have a fly over by jets. But it is in the morning. Then we can go to my Aunt Jackie's house or Mike's Aunt Noelle's house for a picnic. Not sure which we will do. Last year we went to Aunt Noelle's.

Next week we have our second appointment with our social worker. This time we need to go to their office in West Hartford. That is on Thurs. I can't wait for Christine to see how much Colby has changed and how much he has learned. We last saw her in early March not long after we got home.

So, I will post pics ASAP and let everyone know how Thursday goes. Until then, I hope I have enough energy for the busy weekend ahead!
