September post

 Hello from the Conlys!  Colin has gotten so big!  He runs everywhere, and loves to be chased! 

Here's Colin with one of his John Deere books.  He has a different favorite book every day - this was a John Deere Day.  Rocket Town, I love bugs, Halloween, the going to bed book (and app!) are other recent favorites.
 hours of fun playing in this shoe box ;)  Have i mentioned that it's ridiculously hot here this summer?  (seriously - 1 in 10,000 year heat streak - more than 30 days over 100).

Fabulous indoor tunnel for Colin to play with!

 A few weeks ago we took Colin to his first Baseball game.  Shockingly he sat on my lap or in Dave's seat for 7 innings!!!  Then Daddy chased Colin around for the last 3 (yep - Astros lost in the 10th :(
 Last weekend, JSC had a Space Shuttle Tribute party (it was 109 degrees!!!).  We put Colin in his Spacesuit tee shirt and got this great shirt of him with a Spacewalking Astronaut!  (poor guy must have been so hot!)
 Then we put Colin into this space suit to get a photo!  He climbed right up (there are steps in back)  stuck his arms through, posed for this one picture and then started crying!

Colin also toured the Building 9 mockups.  Last chance to see the shuttle trainers before they ship out!
 Colin also got to meet Drew Fuestal (Astronaut on STS-125 and 134)!  Drew signed a photo for him too!

Colin was turning pretty red by this point so we skipped the food and bands and found some Air Conditioning and frozen yogurt!!


 
This Sunday the weather was great!  80s and windy (thanks Lee!)  We took Colin to the neighborhood park and then to the Challenger 7 memorial park.  Colin loves running across the bridges, sliding, swinging for 2 minutes, running and playing with bark/leaves/ rocks!!





Just had to include this - i think he has all of our tupperware out :/  and oh boy are those stainless bowls loud!
