Chess & Chocolate Milk

Several weeks ago Connor and Dad went to the Chocololate Milk Store, aka Starbucks, for one-on-one time. Well, it wasn't soon after we sat down for our chocolate milk, coffee, and donuts that Connor discovered a chess game being played just behind him. He pulled his chair right up to the guys playing chess and as he sipped his chocolate milk, intently watched the game.

And when that game concluded, he promptly moved on to observing a second game at the next table.

Perhaps Connor is going to be a world-champion chess player?!?!

Postcards From the Beach

We arrived at the beach Friday evening and are staying until Monday morning - just a quick getaway! We're spending our time relaxing, doing some online Christmas shopping, and we had Sunday brunch at Beaufort Grocery.

Today Connor and Dad spent a few minutes on the beach (it's kinda cold out there now) and yesterday we all went to the Emerald Isle, NC Christmas parade!

Proud Big Brother

These photos were taken while we were in Massachusetts after Marcus was born.

Summer Haircut

Connor got his haircut today and half enjoyed the experience, much to our relief! There's no doubt that the lollipop that we promised him for after he was finished had something to do with it (he picked the purple one)!

Has anyone seen Mr. Potatohead's glasses?

Easter Egg Hunt 2008

Better late than never, here are photos from Easter. We spent the day at Grandmas' house for an Easter egg hunt and to celebrate Dad's birthday.

As seen from the perspective of a 2 1/2 year old, we are pleased to present the following photographic images guest starring Dad, Daddy, Amanda, and Grandma JoAnn (technically, her knee). Enjoy!

Photo Booth Fun

A 2 hour wait for New Year's Eve dinner + 3 hungry adults + 1 full-of-energy child = Photo Booth Fun!
