Hilgers Farm

Our playgroup went to Hilgers farm today. No hayrides during the day but Connor did play with some straw bales, pumpkins, and sand piles, swing and climb, and meet some chickens, goats, and... pigs.

Doesn't that maize in the first pic look yummy? ;)

More shades

Now that Connor doesn't need to wear shades outside, he wants to put them on all the time, heh :).

Nervous

A few minutes of sleep.

All of a sudden I am nervous that Chloe is really actually a boy. I would love another boy. I would love a girl.

I just... I bought a lot of pink at yard sales this summer.

5 weeks til we find out for sure ;).

Waking up with a smile

Some days. Other days like this morning it is more a groan. :)

It seems I only get a chance to update this while Connor is at school on Wednesdays. I will try to get to it more often but no promises! Heh. In the next few weeks we will be switching to our new blog ( thehts.blogspot.com ) so be on the lookout for that!

Connor's first power outage

It doesn't look like it in the pictures because of the camera flash, but this is Connor during our first power outage since he's been aware enough to care. He had a lot of fun with the flashlight. :)

Yesterday was Connor's first swim lesson of his second cycle of lessons. Although he blows bubbles in the tub all the time, he refused to at lessons and just drank pool water. Heh. He did dunk his whole head underwater several times though and enjoyed his lesson very much.

Today is Connor's second day of pre-preschool. The transition didn't go quite as smoothly. There was a little boy there before us that was really upset today at leaving mommy, and it sort of rubbed off on Connor. He was calm when I left and hopefully he'll have a good morning.

The future's so bright

I gotta wear shades!

More Connor and Noah

We're in a kangaroo!


You can see Catie in the background in the stroller


Perusing the Safari Walking Guide

Connor will not get within ten feet of his own stroller at the zoo but he thought Kelly's double jogging stroller was way cool and like a ride. Any time one side was unoccupied he climbed right in. Heh.

Connor and Noah

Our friends Kelly, Noah and Catie came to visit yesterday and today and Connor and Noah hung out together. When Connor wasn't pushing Noah around, that is. Ah, the joys of 2.... years old that is.

So it has been a while....

Connor off to his first day of school.

Sorry I've gotten so behind on blogging, I shall try to do better!

Today was Connor's first day of preschool. He only goes one day a week for three hours. He transitioned really really well, til he saw mommy peeking in the classroom door at him.... oops. No one has called yet to tell me he's hysterical so I think he's having fun ;).

Two more hours til I go pick him up....
