Happy Colintine's Day

 As y’all know, 

today is Valentine’s Day

and if ya forgot…

for the love of Pete… 

quick

grab a card. candy. flowers. a reservation.

However, for our Fam 

today is

Colintine’s Day.

It was only perfect that Colin was born on Valentine’s Day.

He has always been a 

sweetheart of a son....

and the 5th Ninja Turtle.

Check out the little surprise he made for me back in the day...

with his toys and clothes.

So sweet.

Inside the bubble, it says "HI MOM."

I love his creativeness, sweetness, and him.

                                        

Colin...

an amazing and loving young boy

also grew into a sweetheart of a person…

a kind-hearted, 

fun, 

easy to be around, 

all around great guy

aka

“Duuuude”

as Ansley loves to call him.

lucky lil cowgirl at sound check

Colin the ultimate

 dude with a Big Heart….

 has followed his heart 

down the yellow brick road...

and this Kat is his Number ONE fan forever.

Today. Tomorrow. And Beyonce.

(I threw in a little Queen Bey

 to see if you were still reading.)

Ansley is a close #2 Fan...

Anywhoooo

When you have a bday on Valentines Day (or any holiday) 

you end up sharing the day with other Valentines out there 

starting with the ones you grew up with…

                                             let alone with the rest of the country.

So

with Colintine’s Day,

we break the rules…

 instead of candy, it’s ice cream pie...

instead of doves, its cardinals ...

(born in St. Louis)

and

instead of cherubs, it’s confetti...

but it is still 

a day 

about love.

💗

In a blink of an eyelash 

the years have blown by and I have loved every one of them… 

watching Colin 

then 

and now.

From the bottom of my heart

 

I wish Colin 

all the love and happiness…

that he has given us every day 

since our First Colintine’s Day...

then

and now.
