3 weeks in to the New Year

Happy new year one and all!  Three weeks done already.  The first week was a trip to the warmth of Florida for Chad and I.  It actually ewasn't as warm as I would have liked, especially in the evenings, but a couple of nice afternoons by the pool and some scary roller coaster rides were good for us.  Connor got completely spoiled and gave great joy to his Nana and Papa for that week.  I'm pretty sure he likes being the center of the world. 

Then back to school for me, back to daycare for Connor and back to work for Chad.  Having a deadline to get up again was a little tough for Connor and tried the patience of both Chad and I last week.  The waking up, not too tough, the getting dressed and out the door has been a trial a few times.  Two year olds are strong, and loud, in case you didn't know.

Today I stayed home from work though, Connor came down with a fever last night.  You could physically see the instant it happened.  One minute he was packing away tacos at the dinner table, and the next he wasn't quite feeling himself.  Thankfully ibuprofen is working, but every 6 hours it wears off and that fever comes back.  He isn't feeling the effects too badly though.  We took it easy for a couple of hours, and then he was a busy boy.  Busy telling me what he wanted to do next!  I want to play with trains, I want to play the guitar, push me in the stroller, I want to ride my bike, I want to... You get the picture.  Love this kid.

So, I have wasted nap time on the computer updating facebook pictures and now posting on the blog.  It's relaxing for me, but perhaps I should have napped, since I got up at 6 to go to school and make sub plans. Well, off to the couch now, let's see how much longer I've got!  :)

We may be doing this for many days to come...

 

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

Boxing

A couple of weeks ago we spent the day with the Berg side of the family.  It was great to see everyone, even though the weather made the possibility of scary roads.  Here is a picture and video of Connor boxing with his Uncle Phil.

 

 

Connor's faces

In an effort to keep Connor entertained between periods of Ty's hockey game we took pictures of him, that he could see while we took them.

Chillin with the chapped lips.

 Realized he could see himself.

 Zoolander face.

Please excuse the messy hat hair.  He will be getting a haircute before Christmas, I promise!

Green Bay

Chad and I were lucky enough to have a little get away weekend at the beginninng of this month.  We traveled a long road to Green Bay to watch the Packers/Vikings game.  It was a fun trip!

Terrible Blogger

I have always wanted this blog to be funny, interesting and a joy to read, as well as a journal of our life that I can look back at when I'm old and gray.  Not so much these days.  Good thing it's close to New Year's, right?  Could be a blog resolution coming your way soon. :) I promise that before the end of December there will be some catch up posts, some cuteness, and maybe a knitting project picture or two.

Connorisms

"I am berry clean.  Mommy washed me."

"This is berry nummy Mama."

"I have a popsicle?" You want a popsicle? "Okay!"  (He somehow makes it sound like it was my idea.)

"I'm a pirate, Arg!"  (while covering his eye with a toy turtle)

"Tada!" (after putting two train tracks together)

There are many more!  The boy loves to talk and will repeat virtually anything.  Watch out world, this one may never stop talking.
