Most of us hate our passport pictures, and our driver's license pictures, and . . . well, you know. This boy, however, has nothing of which to be ashamed because, let's face it people, he is too darn cute!
YOU'RE GOING TO FRANCE!!? WHAT!!? Do you need me to come and Nanny? You probably do. What do you say we meet at JFK? It was fun to look at all the pics, I cannot believe how big they are. Nathan is looking so old & handsome.
That's not a face only a mother could love - what a cute little guy he is! We're all itchin to get our fingers on him, but he looks man enough to take it! Mom
It has finally happened. I am no longer pregnant, and even better than that is that I have a gorgeous new little man at my house. Chase Maxwell Connor was born at 10:30 on February 21, 2009. He weighed in at 7 lbs and 2 oz and is 19 inches long. I started having contractions on Friday and by four they were getting pretty strong, so I called Phil and told him to come home and take me to the hospital. All the kids wanted to be together so we called some friends and they took them for us. When we got to the hospital, they put me on the monitor and our little guy was having some problems. His heart rate would drop during some of the contractions so they admitted me and broke my water to hurry things along. We had one close call in the middle of the night when his heart rate fell and changing sides was not helping. They called for the doctor and all of a sudden the room was full of people! They had me get on my hands and knees to see if that would help and told me that if it didn...
Over the weekend, I ran my first half marathon. I knew I was going to be slow, but my goal was to run the whole thing and I did it and it was very cool and fulfilling to make a big goal like that and then accomplish it. Here is a breakdown of the race including some highlights and some lowlights. 9:30 pm Saturday I went to bed, but was unfortunately kept up for half the night dealing with little people issues, courtesy of Joslyn and Caleb. Not necessarily the auspicious beginning for which I had hoped. 4:30 am Sunday I woke up to my alarm and stumbled out of bed. I have never claimed to be a morning person, but thought I was pretty lucid considering. I had a bowl of frosted mini wheats, got dressed and most importantly fed Chase! Phil got me out the door at about 10 minutes past five and I took off. 5:10-5:55 am was spent driving. I knew the way, I had been sure to drive there on Friday. I didn't have any trouble until I got close and they started closing roads due to the r...
We had a great fourth of July this year. Steve and Cathy are here with us and we decided to take a trip to see the Memorials. In the morning we headed down to Pearl Harbor and went to the Arizona Memorial. It was very cool and really touched me to see first hand the sacrifices of all those brave men who died and are still entombed in their ship. After that Phil took us to a spot on Ford Island where you can see holes made in the concrete by the machine guns on the Japanese planes. We sat and had a picnic and then went to the Utah Memorial. I think that these two ships really affected me because my husband is in the Navy and I have had to consider what I would do if he died at sea. Very sad stuff. After we had visited all the memorials, we went to the Pearl Harbor Base and hung out at the big block party. They had all kinds of games and bounce houses as well as a live band and treats galore. The kids got to go play on the bounce houses and then played frisbee and football with ...
