Conner (4 years old) and Drew (18 month)

Below are some of my all-time favorite pictures of the boys.  These pictures show exactly who the boys are at this time in their lives. 

A little update - Conner is doing much better with School now.  We held our breath- but not for too long!  It took him about four weeks to figure it out and to be comfortable with it.  We are so proud of him and all that he has learned and we are very proud of his teachers and his school - they are amazing.  Conner has been hunting the past two weekends (with his nerf bow-and-arrow in tow) and is not looking forward to the cold weather that is headed our way!  Crappie are back in at the lake so the boys try to fish everyday.  I tell you - Conner has the patience for this kind of stuff and the ability to just sit in pure silence -however, when we do school work he can only sit still for 3 minutes at the max.  Sounds just like Jason and every other boy, right?  He is still a little lover - loves to hold people (especially babies right now) and loves to love.  He is great.

Drew is busy, busy, busy.  He talks more and more everyday (reminding me to watch my mouth as he likes to repeat EVERYTHING!).  My favorite words he says right now are hotdog, fish and duck.  Even though he does not know too many words - he communicates very well with pointing, nodding and yes...screaming.  Got to love 18 month olds.  He seems to be getting hurt all the time these days - Jason and I both feel like we are due for a heart-attack any day now!  Most recently he fell and knocked his front teeth back up into his gums.  It was horrible.  But - the dentist said it happens more often that one would think.  We have our fingers crossed that his little teeth will come back down - it will  be a waiting game.  He has also started using the big-boy potty (when HE wants to) and loves to read - but has switched his favorite books to picture books.  I am thankful that my boss bought the boys lots of picture books - the hard part for me is making up a story - but it comes easy for Conner so we have very interesting story nights from time to time! 

Enjoy these pictures and I hope they make you smile!
