Sugar and Spice & Everything Nice

We found out today that we are adding a sweet little GIRL to our family. We are so excited and cannot wait to meet her in April. We are thankful for a healthy baby and all of our many blessings. Hope that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Our Little Giraffe

Conner was a giraffe for Halloween this year (thanks to Aunt Ash). He was definitely one of the cutest that I have ever seen. I was surprised at how long he kept his costume on, although he really didn't like the hood. It was neat to watch him trick or treat for the first time, even though he didn't really get the concept and wanted to eat all of the candy while still in the wrappers.

The best part of the night was enjoying Conner greet the trick or treaters at the end of the driveway by yelling "Hey" and then running back to the house to get them each one piece of candy. Hmmm... I guess he is a little stingy with the candy. It was such a fun Halloween!

Giraffe on the run!

My two studs :)

Hometown Fair

Conner was able to experience his first fair in our neighborhood recently. He absolutely loved riding the swings with his daddy and sliding down the huge inflatible slide!!

A Country Pumpkin

We finally made our first visit to the Pumpkin Patch, Country Pumpkin in Caledonia two weeks ago. It was so neat to finally make it over since I grew up playing at that same farm myself with my childhood best friend, Emily. Conner especially enjoyed swimming in the corn sand box, playing in the cotton wagon, and riding the mini tractors. It truly was a little boy's heaven! We will definitely have to make a repeat visit next year.

No Excuse...

I know... I have been beyond terrible at posting pictures and keeping up lately. I am just going to blame it on being extremely tired from pregnancy, but still no excuse! 18 months has come and gone already. Conner turned 19 months on November 1st. It is hard to believe that our baby is now a little boy . He has changed so much over the past few months and we have had a blast watching! I cannot even begin to count the new words that he is saying and repeating. He is absolutely full of life and such a happy little boy. I am trying to savour all of these moments of undivided attention with him because I know that will drastically change when the new little one arrives in April. On that note, we get to find out what we are having in a couple of weeks and are getting very excited.

Okay, now time to catch up on some pictures... Here are a couple from our trip to Oxford two weeks ago now. Nana and Pop came over for a visit and Conner got to enjoy time with his favorite buddy, Ann Luckett! :)


Aren't they too sweet loving on each other? Absolutely makes me heart melt!
