He's on the Move!

Finally! Yesterday was the day that Connor finally crawled! He's been getting pretty close lately, and this morning while we were at school he just got up on his knees and away he went. We were starting to think he was just gonna skip the whole crawling thing and go right to walking.

Carving Pumpkins

Last night Mark carved out a pumpkin while I was giving Connor a bath. His work has a contest so he decided to try out his pumpkin carving technique. I'd say his "howling wolf" turned out pretty good. The pumpkin is one from our garden.

A Good Saturday for Duck Hunting

Mark was out duck hunting Saturday morning before the rest of us went to town. He was pretty successful once again at bringing home food for the family.

Someday he'll be able to go hunting with Dad. Mark with Ace and Connor Mark and Ace

The Great Pumpkin came early

This past weekend my sister, Crystal, and her husband, Brent, came and visited for the weekend. We spent Saturday in town bumming. I learned one thing for sure...do not let those two loose in the toyland at Fleet Farm! They could've filled up Santa's sleigh! Connor lucked out too as the Great Pumpkin came early for him and also for being such a good boy while we shopped all day that he got a new loader! Auntie Crystal playing with Connor and his new loader Uncle Brent reading Connor "The Foot Book" by Dr. Suess. One of his favorites.

Connor turns 10 months old

Connor is now 10 months old today. There was no birthday cake or anything, but I did sing Happy Birthday to him a couple times today. We did go to school (ECFE) this morning so that was his birthday fun for today. I weighed him on the scale and he weighs 20.5 lbs. Connor and Mark The other day I pushed him around the couch a few times in the diaper box. He thought it was great fun!

Driving tractor with Grandma

One of the tractors was parked in the yard, so Grandma and I took Connor out to "drive" it.

Riding tractor with Dad

Connor had a short ride with Dad while he was hauling loads of corn.
