The Happy Helper Continues! Part Fifteen?

I know we've posted a few under this title, but this one is true as well. Colby thought she would move Vonn so her Nennie could see better during a Skype session....You'll see how it turned out!

Hungry for More?

Click here for more pics than you could ever hope for! Eat your heart out.

And some more videos:

Eating squash! If by eating, you mean, shoveling food into a baby's mouth, hoping it will stay in and she will eat it!




Eating rice cereal! Vonn got gutsy and grabbed the bowl; she caught Daddy monologueing and made her move!




An older video of Vonn wearing the famous wig, the Donald. It looks more like Orphan Annie with a mullet. I put it on her head backwards by accident and it turns out, it still looks awesome!

2011 is the new 2010: The Collins Family Christmas

Oops! Another snag in the space-time continuum. Maybe we fell in a wormhole. Seriously though, Colby and Vonn got to see their GREAT relatives, like Great-Grandma, Great Aunt Sally, Great Uncle John, and the Great Baby (kidding!).

Not so many pictures here either, everyone was busy catching up and eating sandwiches. I think John got some good pictures, maybe some day I will hunt them down and post them. A girl can dream...

Great Aunt Sally snuggling with Vonn.
Sally was a big hit because she has Dora on-demand.
How can we compete with that?!


Here we have the girls in their Grammy-custom-made matching Christmas dresses.

Long Awaited.....Pictures!

Hello! I finally gave myself more than 7 minutes to load photos, so album-lovers, check it out. I have selected the cutest pictures of our adorable babies during their first 2 months together. I will try to do this more often, I just prefer to blog and post a few pictures. But I aim to please!

So click here and see for yourself!

Nennie Comes to Town

I know technically, this happened before the Mini-Blizzard, but I got excited and messed up the timeline. I am a new mother of two, cut me some slack. Ok! So Grandma Nennie came to visit Colby and to meet Vonn and we had a great time. Unfortunately, there are not many pictures, as we promptly put Nennie to work, playing with the girls, redesigning and sewing curtains and cooking us meatloaf and such. We love you, Nennie and can't wait for you to come back in March!

Here is Nennie, doing what she does best, reading with Colby.

Here are Nennie and Vonn.
They had fun getting to know one another and
Vonn was very happy to finally meet her Nennie!

Here is one of the few times Nennie was not busy helping Laura and Joe or burping Vonn (the girl is gassy!). She was able to have some down time and read a book for herself, not reading to a granddaughter :)

Mini-Blizzard 2011--January Edition

Just in case we get another one, this is the January Mini-Blizzard. But that doesn't mean that we didn't have tons of fun sledding and that our neighbors didn't dash out to dig out their cars and then fill the spot with a cheap plastic folding chair, adirondack chair, bucket or in some cases, a laundry basket. Snow days are fun, especially when you throw in Elsa, Aunt Jen and the Stano Sledding Park, complete with half pipe ;)

Getting ready to go...Colby not as enthused as Mommy, but what can you do?
Yes, those are leg warmers....jealous?

Sledding with Elsa!

Daddy and Vonn had fun too!
Especially Vonn....who is pictured here as the white hat coming out of Joe's coat...
