Connor’s child dedication

Today was extra special because we had Connor dedicated at church (this was certainly the highlight of the day, although a close second was the fact that the kids slept into 9AM, yeah! for quiet non-work mornings). I couldn’t think of a better way to commemorate Mother’s day. We got him all dressed up, bowtie…

My cuties

It only seems fitting since I am up early on Mother’s day and all is still quiet (lucky me, it’s 9:00 AM and everyone is still conked out – that includes JJ :)) that I brag a little about my kids with some cute pictures I took on Friday afternoon. This turns out to be…

Mother’s day tea!

On Friday, with Connor in toe, I attended Cailee’s mother’s day tea party. It’s always so sweet to see the kids so excited to have their moms or grandmas there for snack time. I love so much that I am her very best friend and it shows all over her face when she sees me….

Cailee’s fieldtrip

On Wednesday, I took a half day at work (fun!) to accompany Cailee on her 3 year old class fieldtrip. This year the school went to the Museum of Life and Science – which is a great place – part zoo + part children’s museum + train. The kids love this place (bonus – it’s…

Cailee’s first dance recital

MotoGP

Of course we were in Austin for MotoGP. The inaugural MotoGP race was to be held at the new Austin track on JJ’s birthday weekend – the stars aligned – obviously we couldn’t pass that, so the tickets to the big event were his Christmas present and the trip was a weekend long celebration for…

Austin!

So for the first time since Cailee was born, JJ and I took a vacation just the two of us. There have been times that JJ was away or that I was away – but we have never both left the kids for more than one night. On some fronts, it was scary, how can…

Bedhead!

Ever since Connor got his big boy haircut, his hair has been growing like a weed – literally. It pretty much has a mind of its own and this morning he was sporting the best bedhead I’ve seen in a while (likely perpetuated by they fact that he went to bed with wet hair from…

Happy Birthday Connor!

I don’t know how to enumerate how much Connor loves cars. Of the 15 words he knows – three of them are cars, trucks and choo choo and cars is at least spoken every three words. He wakes up in the morning looking for cars and insists on going to bed at night with several…
