Happy 4th of July!

We are so grateful to live in this great country....Have a safe and sane 4th of July everyone! We sure do miss Lonny, who is having an awesome boating trip with Kyle, Ryan and James....but Connor has had a pretty good day so far himself.....He got his first guitar!!! We are spending time in one of my favorite places in the world...Mike and Elaine's cabin!!! "Grandpa" Mike (hahahahaha) gave him this beautiful Connor-made instrument and Elaine told him to practice practice practice!!! He even has picks to carry around in his pocket so he is ready to rock at all times.....I may be biased, but I think he is a natural!Here Connor is singing along to a song that Mike wrote about him! "There was a boy named Connor who liked to play guitar....he like to wear his light up shoes when he dance and when he makes something funny in his pants!" Or something like that. Connor would say "Sing the song about Connor!!" (Referring to himself in the third person is a total sign of a rock and roll star!) We are so blessed to have Mike and Elaine in our lives...thank you for being my "side" of the family...love you muchly!!

Too Sweet


Connor and his cousin, Baby Tyler (BTW, I wasn't there when this was taken...I have NO idea what my boy is wearing!!! I am sure he is secure in his masculinity, though)

CONGRATULATIONS

To the wonderful McKenna family who welcomed baby Isaiah Richard to their family...placement took place yesterday and baby goes home tomorrow! We are thrilled beyond measure for you and continue to be so grateful for the blessing of adoption. LOVE YOU!!!

Fingers Crossed...

For that cute little family that I love and adore....looks like another adoption MIRACLE is about to take place....Misty, you are making us all hold our breaths.....I hope congratulations are in order for you very soon!!

As well as our favorite blogger Ginnie, who has also been teasing us with the promise of very big news (though I think this one is more, say, house related?) Good luck to you as well, Miss G!

My Budding Photographer

Here, for your enjoyment, are Connor's first attempts at photography! (PS, it was the first thing in the morning, which explains all the bed head!)

Chuck E. Cheese

Yike! Yes, I actually went there (the things you do for Connor love....) After having a great birthday party the Saturday before his actual birthday, we decided to have some fun on Connor's real big day (in our little family, a birthday isn't a day, it is an EVENT). Lonny took the day off and we all hung out together and watched "The Incredibles". After a good long nap (for all of us) we headed to Chuck's House of Madness. We played games (I am slightly obsessed with the Spider Stomp game) and ate bad pizza and just had fun being together (plus Connor's new little friend)!!!
