Run

I'm ready for our run, Mommy!

Oh, wait...Did you need your sneakers?

Just Like Daddy

The greatest thing about having a little boy is the idolization of his Daddy. Connor has been running to Tom when he gets home from work with open arms and a smile on his face. He wants to do everything his Daddy does, even the dirty stuff, like mowing the lawn.

While We Were Away...

Connor did play!

As any parent knows, it's great to get away for a little bit. Tom and I got away for seven days! Five of them were spent in Disney (blog to come), and two in Boston/Worcester.

I'm not going to pretend we didn't miss Connor, because we did, but he was in great hands with Mimi and Papa.

The weather is still pretty warm down here so the plants needed watering and the driveway needed sweeping. Who better to help my parents, really?

He was also Papa's big helper, packing up the Peat Moss at Home Depot, and helping him unpack it at the house, and mimicking the grunts usually associated with lifting heavy things.

Connor made a new friend, Arthur, and loved swinging with him!

Then, it was off to the Daniel Stow Botanical Gardens, where Connor met a huge spider,

some crows,

and, his favorite...pumpkins!

Connor also made me a plant, which will probably be the first plant I don't kill because that would just be plain mean.

My parents said that all in all they weren't too tired and he was really good. But, I can only believe them so much. If this is what happened when my Dad tried to take a nap everyday, I'm sure they were more tired than they let on.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Mom and Dad for taking such good care of Connor while we were gone. You made it much easier to be away knowing he was with the two of you.

Go Patriots!

Touchdown!

OOO...OOO...AHH...AHH

Our lil' monkey didn't exactly get to go trick-or-treating, nor did he get in costume for Halloween. Instead, we dressed him up a couple of days after returning back from our vacation and snapped some quick photos before he decided the costume was too annoying to keep on.

This is something I very easily could have overlooked, but what kind of mom would I be if I didn't take a picture of Connor in costume every year? I mean, really...

Besides, after reviewing said photos, I am really glad I did, because he is the cutest lil' monkey I've ever seen!
