Connor hits Arizona!

Connor has done alot of traveling the past few weeks meeting a bunch of new people!!  Last Thursday we made the trek out to Sun City to meet Connor's Great-Grandparent Hazel & Ken.  Connor was such a good baby with his great grand parents. He slept most of the time which was great, I'll admit I was a bit nervous because with his colic you never know when thats gonna hit.  Lucky for us its every 3 or 4 days, and this was an off day for the colic.

While we were visiting with the great grandparents we also got to see Great Aunt Jennie (who was a bit nervous to hold him since he was so small) and also Aunt Jeannine and Uncle Gary were down from Oregon so Connor got to spend time with them too!

As we continued on our travels thru out Arizona, Connor and I also made a trip out to my work for Jessica's baby shower.  It was nice to get out and see everyone and it was so great to Connor got to meet everyone at my work as well! He was such a good boy!  Everyone stopped by to see him and meet the little guy who made mommy silly for 9 months.  He was first known as the peanut, then "lil fatty", for a short time mommy called him Lucy (for I was sure it was a girl) and then Connor!  I don't have any pictures right now but when I get some, I'll post them :)

Connor has also seen many visits for his Babcia Gina, Cocia Lidia and Dziadzio Andrew too.  They have come by almost once a week since Connor was born.  We had lunch yesterday with Gina and Connor was such a good boy!  And Babcia sure loves her "Wnuk" :D

On Saturday, Gammie also came over to watch Connor so that mommy and daddy could go out on their first date night without the kid!  This was a celebration of baby, alone time and anniversary since that hit about 2 weeks after Connor got here.  We went to the Ocean Club and saw the move "Red"  which was very funny!  Date nights are now back in full force for once a month again thanks to the babysitting of Gammie and Babica.  Next date night will be for my birthday on the 1st and Carol's wedding on the 13th, that is going to be one crazy time!!

Connor & Toni
Connor also got to meet his cousin Toni offically for the first time!  Toni is exactly 10 weeks older than Connor and they both did great!  I'm so excited that Connor will get to grow up with Toni and Waylon, I grew up with my cousins Trevor and Eric (Eric and I are 6 months apart) and I wouldn't trade it for a minute!  So I know Connor and Toni will have the same adventures that I did with my cousins.  I spent alot of time with the Van Horns growing up for holidays and camping and many other fun adventures and so excited that the tradition of sisters (My mom and Aunt Pat) hanging out with their family will now pass on to Colette and I.  I can't WAIT to take these two camping and quadding!!

We also got our first family photos taken by Jaqi.  She did such a great job and was able to get a few pictures in of Connor in between his "tired" fits he was throwing.  I have a project I'm working on so when its finished I will post it so you can see all the beautiful pictures she took.  Here is a sample one below!

More to come!!
