heartbreaker

This is not the first or last time that this little blond is going to break my heart.

Connor had his first day of school ever this week. He is officially a preschooler. The cutest one in his class I might add.
I was nervous for him. He was nervous too. He told me in the morning he really wasn't into all this. I got more nervous. He did great though. I think he is going to love school and be a good student. I hope, but I really just want him to be a good person. I think we're doing ok according to his prayer last night, "Dear God, Tell the poor people I am earning pennies for them. Amen"

My favorite part...he is right in my building and goes with me every morning to school now. So why was this such a heart breaker?

What an appropriate 100th post! Thanks Katie for the pressure to have a blog 4 years ago. Ha! 4 years to get 100 posts!!! Even if you are my only reader, I treasure these moments!

Big Balloons!

We don't have too many exciting things for kids to do where we live. Don't get me wrong, we have many awesome parks and find things to do, but no zoo, or museum, or water park. So we were pretty excited last weekend when the balloons came to town. I mean it isn't every morning that we see this out the little ladies window! No zoom action here. That night, we went to the Balloon Fest to watch them all take off. It was a sight to see them blow-up and then leave one by one. I can only imagine what people driving down the highway were thinking.

The First Season

Tonight Connor finished his first season of t-ball (I still can't believe that my baby is old enough for organized sports). Being 4, we weren't sure how he'd take to it.
He loved it! He loved talking about his team and idolized his coaches. He couldn't wait to hit the ball and still can't decide if he likes hitting left or right handed better. He was really cute in his ready stance. He could hardly wait to see what the snack would be after every game!


We all loved watching him, even his sisters. They were very busy at the games.
Lookout soccer, here we come!

Oh, Donuts!!

Recently, the girls got to take their first trip to the donut store with the boys. They couldn't believe their eyes! They both kept pointing and saying, "bite, bite". This is a fairly regular ritual for the boys. The girls are hoping they can be included more often!
