The picture-sorter-blog-spotter missed this gem from summer 2009 in the first go-around (Mabes, Colly, and Courty at Santa's Workshop).

Transporting in style with Aunt Hilly all around Disney (Winter 2010).

Collin and mommy on a ride at Sea World (Winter 2010).

With faithful companion (oh yeah...and daddy, too...) on a ride at Disney.

"That's right...it's winter, I'm in Disney, hanging in the sun with my cool shades. Is that Shamu??" (Winter 2009).

Where's Collin?

Hi. Collin Lion here. Having a swell time at my various Halloween parties and events. So much to do...so much time. Everyone wants a piece of the little lion...which is OK...I like people...and I promise not to eat them...or too much candy, for that matter. I carry my little lion cub (which everyone thinks is a hand-me-down, but it's just well-loved) every where I go...unless I'm bouncing in the bouncy-bounce. See you on the flipside! (Halloween 2009).

What's a little lion to do with such options...?? (surveying the YMCA gym...ready to pounce... (Halloween 2009).

Lion showing his pearly whites. Rarrrrr! Smile. (Halloween 2009).

Find the lion.

Collin Lion and Daddy on New Hope Halloween Train...just like Annie and Clarabel from "Thomas the Tank Engine" fame! (Halloween 2009).

Collin Lion and Mama Witch enter Spooky YMCA (Halloween 2009).

Having a swell time at the Halloween party/Kids run wild in YMCA event...but the lion head got a little warm. Wish you were here!

"Cheese?" (Toronto, June 2009)

"Nice to have all my friends together for a birthday pool party" (July 2009).

"Here I am!"

"OJ...fresh fish sandwiches...Toronto...cousin Mabel...this is the life..."

"Blast off!" (a fitting phrase in light of a bunch of little ones who will soon get their hands on a yummy plate of cake!)

"Uh...yeah...I likey da cake! Happy Birthday to me!" (the newly minted 3 year old enjoys his space-themed cake...a lot)

Collin and friend Anna taking advantage of sound recycling by having a fab time on this tire swing at the park (birthday party, Jenkintown, PA, 2009).

Mabel and Collin in Pride Pool (Toronto, July 2009).

Where are those eggs? (Easter 2009)

Da boy's got it goin' on...Lion is his right hand man, with Lightning McQueen crackers in the other hand! (Easter 2009)

Cement mixer pajamas. Enough said.

Uh, mommy and daddy, can I sleep in your bed tonight...and, uh, you two can sleep in my crib...that's romantic, right?

Hey, dude...I'm sweatered, jacketed, hooded, and ready...check me out...in the sandbox...or maybe in the new playground...or maybe...

Hipster cat in mommy's hat.

Engineer Collin arrives at the Halloween party in the park, with whistle, of course...and curious bystanders...

Having a grand ol' time at the Halloween party...is Engineer Little Mister Smiley.

Crafty Collin crafts creatively (a ghost with little pumpkins on its belly...nicey).

Engineer Collin notices a big black spider! (but still retain his calm, cool, curious demeanor)

[The maestro is at the piano.] "Let me now tell you about an amazing trip I took to British Columbia, Canada, using stream of consciousness verse inspired by Dada accompanied by disjointed harmonic movement with folk-pop undertones. Enjoy."

The train: where dreams come true (Collin in Vancouver, 2008).

2/3 of a rather musical fam in its own right listening to some slammin' girl rockers on the Seattle waterfront.

See the fishies. Be the fishies. Run around the aquarium at fast pace in seemingly every direction at once...in order to see and be more fishies...and dolphins...and belugas...and...hey, what's that...and what's that..and wha...?? (The Vancouver Aquarium rocks.)

"Catch me if you can, world...I'm late for another adventure!" (hangin' in Vancouver, 2008).

Collin and mama, waterside (Granville Island, Vancouver, June 2008).

Brilliant idea...a restaurant within a restaurant. (Collin and other chefs in a Vancouver restaurant, while mommy and daddy wait for the food.)

Hmmm. Do we like trains??!! Maybe??!! Let's say "Hi!" and shout it to the world!
