Catch Up

It has been over a week since my last post. I don't have any good excuses for the lag. I have lots of fun activities to write about, and my kids are as cute as ever. Yet I haven't felt much inspiration to write. So here is our last week and a half in one big, picture filled blog. Enjoy.

Family picnic during Jeffrey's lunch hour. This park near Vanderbilt is often filled with Dr. Dads with their families out for lunch.

Shriner Circus. Elise and I went on a girl's only outing to the circus. It was my first visit to a circus and I think I was almost as excited as Elise. We saw elephants dancing, tigers jumping through rings of fire, Elvis impersonators, acrobats, high flying ladies, and too many Shriner cars/motorcycles to count. So much fun.

Daddy and his kids.

Titans versus the Vikings. A house divided. Actually, Jeffrey was rooting for the Vikings too, but wore Titans gear to keep hostile home field fans from attacking purple-clad me.

We need not have worried, because all though our first pro football game together was lots of fun, the Titans dominated the game and maintained their 4-0 record.

Elise and Zion's favorite before bed activity - curtain peek-a-boo. Notice Elise 'helping' Zion.

Elise and Zion's favorite part of our zoo has nothing to do with animals. They love to jump and climb in the padded toddler zone.

And what would a Colburn family post be without an Elise quote?

Elise dressed herself this morning before playing in the backyard. She wore her brown boots, white socks pulled high, red and blue shorts, her purple pj top, and a pink robe. While eating breakfast in this crazy outfit, she asked me, "Is I adorable?" Yes Elise, you are most certainly adorable.
