1.26.2012


dear colin,
a snapshot of you today. i am so proud of you - you started your science fair project over the winter holiday break so you wouldn't be cramming at the last minute. i am so proud of you - you love to play football on your winter flag football team and are always ready early for practice and games. you are a true team player - playing whatever position the coach needs you at. you fill your afternoons with football in the street with your neighborhood buddies - the phone is ringing the minute you get in the door from school as you all coordinate your available times to play. you love to orchestrate teams - making calls to get all the best players.  you love to read. you love to play with legos still - your creations are found all over the house - along with lots of pieces! you love to play on the itouch - even facetiming daniel late at night {you still forget about that hour difference in time!}  you love to play words with friends and scramble with friends - you remind us to play when we fall behind.  you love to watch football, espn in the morning and modern family on wednesday nights.  you love to play games - board games, computer games and good olde fashioned pen and notebook paper ones too.  you love to take the worlds quickest showers. you love to look at the three big snapshots in sports illustrated every wednesday on the way home from the mailbox before nathan sees them. you love to take your lunch to school everyday - the same thing - a pb&j sandwich, yogurt, zebra cake, goldfish and a sunny d to drink. you love to sleep in football shorts and an undershirt.  you pick out your clothes every night before going to bed. you love to be busy.  you are always doing something, often several things simultaneously. you are all boy. 
go. colin. go.
live. laugh. enjoy.
