Connor on a beautiful Spring Day

So here I am, a Full Fledged toddler at 16 months. Life is good. I play a lot and run around. I love to look at books and take a bath, or as mom calls it "swim swim". I blow kisses when you say "I love you" and give kisses with a big exaggerated mmmwwwaaaahhh! Besides mama and dada I can say "Hi!". I love when people clap and get me to clap. When I got my new Pats hat, (see above) I was just so excited, as you can see! Check out the curls, I know you dig them.

Happy 1st Birthday

Yup that's right Connor is a year old!!! We had 2 parties one on his birthday and one on Sat so it was a long weekend of love, family, friends, cake, cupcakes, toys and fun! Whew, we were exhausted! Thanks to all who came and celebrated with us. It was a weekend we'll never forget!

School Pictures

We got Connor's school pictures back and they are great. He looks like such a little man. I have one hanging over my desk and I look at it constantly. People walking by must think I am just staring into space but I am not I am looking at a face that reminds me when things get tough here at work that I have the most wonderful thing waiting for me to be picked up and brought home. Home to my real life. We wait for Dad to come walking in the door and smile. It is so hard not to come home and not have a huge smile on your face when you see Connor. The school picture is that exact smile, they captured it and it makes me smile all day. I love it! This is Connor and MeMe right after the photo shoot at school.

Salem, MA

I promised I'd post a few pictures from our evening in Salem, Ma. We had a great time. It is so much fun there in October. All the freaks come out! We loved it. We think Connor had a great time too. A man in the restaurant we had dinner in started taking pictures of Jeff and Connor because they looked so cute together, naturally I agreed. These aren't the pictures he took but here are some i did of my boys.

Doctor said I look good

So the Doctor said Connor's ears look excellent and his hearing is perfect. Jeff took him this morning and I was very pleased to know we did the right thing and it was a success!
Boy did I have a week to remember. The day after Connor had the surgery Jeff (who had be complaining of stomach pain for a few days) called me at home to let me know he was indeed driving himself to the nearest emergency room per the doctors order! They suspected that he had an Appendicitis. After a series of tests, a very long wait in the emergency room, Jeff called me again at home to say that he would be having surgery. Thankfully my mother had come into town to help me with the baby post-op so I was able to leave and be by Jeff's side. He finally went into surgery around 9:30pm and was out around 11:45pm. I slept in a chair by his bed. He had never had any surgery before so it was a bit surreal for him so being there is the only place I wanted to be. so both my boys had surgery a day apart, whew what a ride that was. He seems to be on the fast track to recovery. He had to stay out of work for about a week, very strange for him and me. I've had to be super mom for a few weeks now since he was unable to lift him, etc. Abdominal surgery is tough, I know! I have also accepted the fact that I married Jeff with an appendix and now he no longer has one, I guess I'll survive too. hee hee

Happy Halloween
