One Proud Momma!

I went in to school for Connor's conference a week or so ago and saw this on the wall outside his class... I chuckled. Monster Truck Jam coming up on Nov 12th, he's going to go nuts!

Prints in Stone

We finally got down the foundation down for Will's gun cabinet. Connor was happy to add his handprints, name and age to it!

If this is any indication of how our next few months are going to look, I have to say that I am not looking forward to it. Connor and I were trying to keep warm last weekend at football. Yes, we were spoiled with the weather in Hawaii. Yes, we enjoyed being outside and going to beaches year round. Yes, we took it for granted. Yes, we are going to be cold until next June:-/

Our New Family Member

On Saturday we adopted a fine pooch from the SPCA here in Norfolk. Her name is Lily Buxter (Connor picked that out!), she's about 7 years old, and a perfect fit for the family. She and Rocco became fast buds and the naps together have been great:o) We are working on getting her to know her name, to come when called, and teach her our yard - especially since we don't have a fence! And I have to say she is doing great! So far, so good!

Extracurricular Activities...

Connor is back at the Y here doing swim lessons. He loves the water. The Y Has an awesome outdoor pool and slides that he got to enjoy during the summer. Now that it is closed, swim lessons resume indoors:o)

We asked Connor if he wanted to sign up for soccer or tball with his buddy Ross and he told us 'no'. He wanted to play football. Lucky for us the Y just started a flag football league for boys ages 6 to 9. Connor finally has an excuse to dive on the ground and get dirty. Yay!

Ready for 1st Grade!

Boy, I don't know where the time has gone, let alone the summer. It's been a crazy one packing up to leave Hawaii, buy a house in VA, and get all of us here. We tried to jam in some fun, right before school started, and I think we did a good job. We also had some friends and family visit in our new place so that was very cool. Connor was a little apprehensive about starting 1st grade, but he has some new friends and everyone was at the bus stop together, which helped a lot. His teacher, Ms. Mangum, seems like a doll and is great with the kids. Thank the Lord! We also have Connor enrolled in after school care too - hoping that I can find a job quickly! Needless to say, there's been a lot going on and a lot of changes in a short period. Connor is adjusting well and taking it all in stride. Makes it easy for me. What a great dude!
