Easter Sunday!

Today is Connor's first Easter! Due to a few sick family members, we stayed home as a family of 3. We found a giant Easter Bunny at the Palmer Elks Club and then ate lunch at Red Robin. Grandma Casey and Meme Dixon both bought him Easter baskets, but I had already put up Meme's loot. We took his picture with gifts from Grandma Casey. We should have attended church, but I am still not comfortable putting Connor in a church nursery. Ron and I feel very blessed and thankful this year for such a beautiful, healthy baby. Thank you Lord!


Palmer Elks Club Easter Bunny


He was a sleepy baby all day! I hope we get some sleep tonight.


Thank you to Meme and Grandma for all his Easter goodies!

First Bonfire with Daddy! (6 weeks)

Ron came home from the slope yesterday! Yeah!!! Today, he worked outside picking up all the sticks Junior brought in the yard over winter. He started a fire in our fire pit, so Connor and I decided to join him. Connor slept the whole time we were outside, but smiled A LOT in his sleep. He must have enjoyed himself. We didn't stay out long because his little gloves wouldn't stay on and I was worried his fingers were getting cold.




All bundled up!


Look at that bottom lip!

5 weeks old!

Connor is not a shopping man. I've taken him shopping twice now and both times he screamed bloody murder in every store for no reason (fed, clean diaper, etc.), making it impossible to concentrate to make a wise purchase. I hope Ron did not ask him to do this... His only malfunction is that he hates his car seat (and hates shopping). Other than that, he's a really good baby when he doesn't have a gas bubble. We have been without Meme or Ron for two weeks now and we're doing a lot better than I thought we would!


Is he looking more like me?

One month old!

Yesterday Connor turned one month old! He is growing so fast. He is really strong and holding his head up a lot. He's also very alert. Ron had to go back to work on March 25th and Meme left us to go back to Texas on April 2nd. Connor and I have been making it on our own and doing good. The past two nights he only woke up twice which is improvement. You'd think I'd have a ton of time to blog, but what free time I have is spent cleaning and doing everyday chores. Or sleeping of course! We can't wait for Ron to come home on the 20th! Counting down the days...

3 weeks!

Connor at 3 weeks! Photo taken with my Nikon in our living room wearing the monkey hat his Meme Dixon bought him.
