There's been lots going on over the past few weeks: Robby's back at bright spot, swim time started again, and we're getting ready for Robby's 2nd Birthday!

At the orchard with mommy, picking apples

On the carousel at the Mall. Thanks Grandma!

Look at those Cheeks! 

Cheesey! Thank you, Farmer' Cow.

I can see my house from up here!

It's nice to be back in swim class. Kick, kick, kick!

Daddy went to West Virginia for the weekend, but Mommy and Robby didn't sit around waiting for me to come back. They went our and had lots of fun!

On the farm. Nothing but smiles

Maze. Some call it corn.

Fire Truck! Mansfield day on the green, which was actually in the parking lot of the high school. It wouldn't be as inviting if they called it "Day on the Blacktop"

Horsebarn Hill (Video Stylez!)

Over the weekend, Robby, Christina and I all went to Uconn and Horsebarn hill for a walk.

Checking out a fan

A whole row of fans!

And I get a free ride out of it!

Knowlton Hill Hiking

Robby and I went for a hike this evening on a Joshua's Trust tract of land by Knowlton Hill. It was nice, but the trail was poorly marked and we ended up walking through the Wormwood Hill road and back again. Long -- but Robby loved it!

There's the route. Probably should have read it a little closer.

The happy hikers. Go Sox!

Water. It's the pond

Yellow blazes. Only on the first part of the trail.

Bridge

Road

Hill.

All I got folks. But it was a great evening for us guys!

Swinging that 9 pound hammer all day

Captain I'm a steel driving man, Lord. Lord.

He took his hammer in his hand, Little Tubbs

Little Tubbs laid 14 feet of steel

And now he needs a Sippee!

Painting the house, Painting the house.

Still not done. We're figuring on finishing it up this weekend. Special thanks to grandma and grandpa for the painting and Robby watching -- and great company of course! Here's the house as it looks now -- finally all one color!

Look at old vs. new
