Video:: Connor’s walking!

So at right about 12 months, Connor took his first steps. I never made a big deal of it because he is not really consistent. He always takes a step or two and then falls down because he gets so excited. That has been his mode for the last month. Occasionally he will take 4…

The Park

What I love about this age (2-3 years old) is that it doesn’t take much to thrill them. It can be as simple as an M&M, or a trip to the grocery store or in this case, a promise to go the park and Cailee will be thrilled (and pester you until you make it…

Coloring craziness

On a much better note, Cailee has been coloring like crazy here of late. In school, they have really taught her to stay in the lines and she loves coloring. We do it a lot together, but it never fails, I start a picture and she starts a picture and then she decides she wants…

Potty talk

So the past few weeks have been difficult around our house for more reasons than one – but all related to the same topic – potty talk. First of all, we had a spell where Cailee decided she didn’t want to go to the bathroom anymore like a big girl and decided she would go…

My little beauty

I love this photo, yet its hard to believe how big, my little girl is. I was having fun manipulating the colors – but I think she’s beautiful no matter what (and I’m not a bit biased). Its so hard to believe that this is Cailee, not too long ago. And if you are wondering…

A trip to the zoo

Ok so here is the scenario. First day back from NY (I survived my crash course in business economics and am probably better off for it – in case you are interested), and we had no plans. Rarely does that happen in our house so of course we couldn’t just let the day pay by…

Happy Easter – the hunt

We held our egg hunt inside as surprisingly the temp was a little chilly Sunday morning (chilly for what we were dressed for – the mid 70s we expected later in the day). We got up, got dressed for church, snapped Connor’s weekly pix, held our hunt, went to Starbucks and made it to church…

Happy Easter 2012!

Well I made it to NY in one piece, although the landing was a little too rocky for my liking, but for a seasoned traveler, it was probably nothing. I was trying to remember and I think – think – the last time I flew anywhere was also for work when I went to a…

Our picnic

So I am currently sitting in the RDU airport, a little sore that I am missing valuable time with the my family, because I will be away from them all week – frustrated that I am just wasting time now in the airport that is just a stone’s throw away – but such is the…

Weekly photo project – Look at how Connor’s grown!

I can’t believe it, the weekly photo project is over. We had a lot of fun with this one (well I did) and amid teething, puking, and snotty noses Connor would always pull out a smile or silly expression, the challenge was getting it on camera before he rolled away, and just as I thought…
