Farm & Graduation

 We just got back from a weekend at the farm and JMU.  My baby sister graduated from college this weekend.  It seems like we were just helping her move us in (poor girl moved me every year in college and made me promise to move her into JMU so Colin and I did - or at least went to supervise since Colin was just 14 months then) 
 Friday we went to the farm.  Or Colin's home as he thinks. He asked why we needed to leave and I said we needed to go home to which he replied "I am home."  Just goes to show that a little boy needs fields/woods to run in and a creek to play in and doesn't miss his toys one bit.  Both boys couldn't wait to get to the creek - or teak as Joel calls it. 
 Colin opened more presents from Ant Ant and Ma-ma-maa and Grandpa. 
 Not sure who was more excited - Colin or Joel. 
 Then on Saturday we woke up early to go to JMU to see Mary graduate.  I had to actually wake the boys up.  FIRST TIME EVER!!!! Joel also slept all night long.  Amazing. It was a nice feeling although they were a little grumpy for a while after I woke them up. I'll take them sleeping all night and having to wake them up.  Colin thought we were getting up early for a football game since thats what we do - go to the farm and get up early for games and was disappointed he had to miss a game. 
Joel was not impressed either.  Until he realized people had brought puppies to the graduation and sat in the back and played with one. 
 The proud family. 
 Robbie got Colin to not only want to get in a picture but smile. No effort at all.  He's a keeper! Maybe he's the ticket to us finally getting a good family picture. 
 After a fun lunch with all of Mary's roomies and families we went back to the farm and played Legos the rest of the night.
