Well, its certainly been a long time since my last post. Its really kind of hard for me to believe, but I guess that's the way life goes sometimes. Even the summer hasn't slowed in pace for me, so unless you're on Facebook, you probably haven't seen any pics from me since April - yikes! If you happen to still be out there, checking the blog occasionally, wondering why I don't get my act together... well, I'm back and I'll try my best. To make up for all that you've missed, here are some of my favorite photos during those missing months.
In addition to all of the Blue/White fun, there was a special event on campus for children to celebrate Earth Day. A lot of the activities were for kiddos a bit older, but the weather was great and Connor still enjoyed running around, playing with other kids, and hanging with his Dad of course.
As a kick-off to all of the Blue/White weekend festivities, there's a carnival, music, fireworks, etc. at the stadium. We went Friday night and enjoyed it all... along with Connor's first trip to the Creamery. Its a bit sad that he'll never know the original Creamery location, but of course that makes me sound nostalgic and old. He rode the train ride all by himself... And watched his very first fireworks show, and loved it!
I had a conference to attend in Atlanta so the boys decided to travel along with me. It was definitely an adventure of planes, trains, automobiles, and hotel rooms with a 2 year old in tow, but overall it was a great trip. Yes, we were, on occasion, "those people" with a screaming child on the plane. But he did his best! At the Georgia aquarium. Have I mentioned that Connor LOVES people in crazy costumes? He couldn't wait to give this guy a high five. This octopus came right over and crawled all over the glass in front of Connor. He called it "so cute" and proceeded to give it kisses. Riding the people mover through the underwater tunnel all by himself. After ice cream in the park... Making shapes, letters, numbers out of a straw - he was so proud of himself. Who needs toys, right? This one was either a triangle or a 4. Painting a masterpiece at the Children's museum Found an exhibit of a new lunar rover - complete with space suits. A great surprise for a kid obsessed with space. Corn on the cob in April!!!
