School Days



What a difference a year makes! These are pictures taken on Connor's first day of Mothers Day out last year and this year - He is growing so fast! He loves his class and after 2 weeks last thursday was the first time he did not cry to be left. He still remains the only child of the class that refuses to nap, I can't say I am that upset because it just means he naps at home, but still we need to work on not distrubing the others!

Happy Labor Day





Hope everyone had a good 3 day weekend - we had a very relaxed one. Brian and I actually stole away for a few hours friday night for dinner - thanks to Nonnie and Grandad for watching the boys. Brian did go to the game on Sat to cheer the Vols on for their first victory of the season - wish I could say the same about the Dawgs -but maybe next time. Yesterday we took both the boys to Knoxville's Slashpad in Carl Cowan Park to play and picnic. we really did not know what we were getting ourselves into and had only heard about it - but it is really cool! Connor loved it - next time though we will all wear bathing suits! Have a great week

Life with 2

We have completed our first week as a family of 4~ with much appreciated help from grandparents, uncles and aunt, and close friends. With all of our help I don't think we have really experienced day to day life -but so far so good.
Pierce is such a good baby, a good sleeper, a good eater and getting more and more alert - I had forgotten how much I treasured those early days. Connor is a wonderful big brother, of course he doesn't know his own strength and thus time with little brother has to be monitored! The other morning Brian was holding Pierce on the couch and Connor came over -very curious, he likes to touch and look at all his body parts, he picked up Pierce's fist and gave him a fist bump -too cute!! We definately have some sleepless nights but are adjusting so much easier the second time around. Here is a short clip of some of our pictures over the last week
