Scary Pumpkin

Connor has been keeping busy playing with grandma, grandpa, and baby sister Charlotte. He had a fun weekend preparing for Halloween. Here's his scary face and the scary pumpkin Grandpa carved for him. He finds "scary" stuff hilarious. Connor had fun at the children's museum with daddy and grandpa, especially the cobweb castle. He also gets a kick out of throwing a blanket over himself and walk around as a ghost scaring people. Connor loves all things Halloween!

Welcome Home, Charlotte!

We all enjoyed the first day at home with Charlotte - our little bundle of joy!
Connor was very excited to spend time at home with his new family.

Charlotte Kathleen

We're proud to announce the arrival of Charlotte Kathleen on October 25th at 12:43 p.m. She is 20.5" long and weighs 6 lbs. 3 oz. We can't believe how tiny she is. Charlotte is doing beautifully! Connor is thrilled to finally meet his baby sister. He loves being a big brother and giving her lots of hugs and kisses.

More Trains and Pumpkins!

Today, we enjoyed a vist to Lauritzen Gardens for their 10th anniversary celebration. We had fun checking out the big trains before heading into the gardens. Connor and daddy and fun visiting the model trains garden, while mommy checked out the annual mums show and Japanese flower arrangements. And of course, Connor got a kick out of the pumpkin and squash displays all around making sure he got to pet them all, especially the bumpy ones!

Pumpkin Patch

Connor enjoyed an afternoon at the pumpkin patch with Daddy. Connor loves pumpkins, and loves touching each one he sees. They also had a pirate area, which was a blast for our pirate wanna-be. He also brave the giant bouncy area for lots of jumping up high. Connor had fun on the train ride around the pumpkin patch while enjoying some candy. Trains, pumpkins, and candy - perfect day for Connor!

Go Brewers!

Connor and Daddy are all ready to cheer for their favorite baseball team - the Brewers! They won the first round of the playoffs. Let's hope they keep it up and are World Series champs! Connor enjoys watching baseball with Daddy for short periods of time. He loves to cheer "Go, buddy, go!" with Daddy! Luckily he hasn't picked up the not-so-nice words from Jerimiah. Connor picked up saying "Oh, Crap" for a little while, but somehow that evolved to "Oh, Grapes" thank goodness!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Connor!

Can't believe that Connor is 3! He had a great day on his birthday with a trip to Fuddrucker's were he got a balloon sword and some baseball cupcakes from Mommy. That weekend we had a little party for him with party hats, balloons, presents and a cars cake! He had a blast with the Happy Birthday song, gobbling down yummy cake, opening his presents, and playing with his new cars and race tracks. Thanks to everyone for the cards, gifts and happy birthday wishes for Connor!
