Colin's room 6:57 AM

I finally got Colin's room finished! For the longest time his room was holding all the stuff that we didn't know where to put. I love the way it turned out. I still have a few things to get to add to the walls, but it's pretty much together and done. Now, hopefully he'll start sleeping in his own room and thru the night (haha, yeah right!!)

Family and Friends 4:30 PM

When we went on our road trip to Virginia for Erica and Ira's wedding, we also spent a week in Maryland with Juan's family. We had an awesome time. We finally got to meet our beautiful niece/cousin Gabriela. She is so adorable!!! It's still crazy to think that her and Colin are only 4 days apart in age! Here are a few pictures of them together:

Even Great Grandma Claire came down for a few days. Here she is with all of us!

Uncle Jeff thought it would be fun to show Brandon how to ride his motorcycle! YIKES!!

We tried to take the three cousins to Target to get their pictures taken, but they turned out horrible, so we did our own photo shoot and believe it or not, these actually turned out better!(and were free!!)

On our way home from Maryland, we visited our good friends Tim & Michal and their 6 month old son Alec. What a cutie pie he is! It was awesome to see them again!!!

and all of us, minus Colin because he was already in the carseat and minus Juan because he was already back home in FL...so I guess it wasn't "all" of us, but still...

oct 14 287

We also got the opportunity to visit my best friend from college, Keren and her husband, mom and beautiful baby boy Samuel. He was about 4 weeks old when we saw him. You almost forget how little babies start out...

oct 14 289

Me, Keren and our kiddos (you would never know Keren just had a baby...she looks amazing!!)

And here is both of our families (minus Juan)

It was so great to see everyone again. Hopefully since we are on the east coast now, we can see everyone more often and hopefully everyone will come visit us too!!

Erica and Ira Jeffers 12:53 PM

I wanted to say Congratulations to Erica and Ira on their recent marriage! We are so happy for you both and glad that you have found that special love that everyone deserves. Erica, my little sister, you are such a wonderful person, always putting others first, always up for having a good time, so good with your nieces and nephews, and one of the best sisters ever! Ira, we are so happy to have you as part of the family now. The Browne side is now complete (with the exception of a few more little kiddos!! hint hint!!) You've always been such a nice guy and we know you really make Erica happy.

OK, enough of the mushy stuff...on to the pictures!!


Can you believe they make tuxedos in Colin's size? Wish I had a better picture, but this is one of the best I have.

So, we had a wonderful time. The wedding was beautiful (as you can see). It was held in Edinburg, VA at Ira's family house. It was great to see everyone, friends and family that we haven't seen in awhile. Good times were had by all!
