The Goodwin's

I know that most of my posts are about Conor, just a proud Momma! But here is something that Craig and I did... On Saturday Craig and I went over to Julie and Kevin Goodwin's house. They were having a party welcoming Kevin home from his 8 month deployment in Iraq. Of course, they had beer pong too! I didn't stay to see the entire tournament, but Craig and Matt (Chewy) won six games in a row, and I am sure that they finally lost because Craig couldn't drink any more beer! Chewy on the other hand, was fine.

House rules states that if you don't catch the ball after it is thrown, it is any man's game. This ball got away from them and they ended up dog-piling on each other trying to get it. We will never grow up!

Jason and Craig preparing the next game. This was early on you can tell because Craig can still pour!

Craig and Chewy with their team T-shirts on (a squirrel holding up two nuts and the line says "Ours are bigger") getting ready for their turn. You can see why Craig had some difficulty keeping up with the winning streak compared to Chewy!

All Dressed Up

Conor is a little young to go trick-or-treating, but we still wanted to dress him up for Halloween. A teacher that Craig works with loaned us this teddy bear costume. I tried it on last Friday to make sure that it would fit, and he looked so cute in it that I had to take some pictures. Hopefully we will get a few more good ones while we are out trick-or-treating with some friends, but just in case, we at least have these!

Do I have to go back to work?

I am looking forward to November, but at the same time I don't want it to come. It just means that time is going by too fast and soon I will be back at work. Luckily, Conor will be watched by my mom, Oma, at her day-care center. Even though this is reassuring knowing that he will be very well taken care of, why would I want to leave this smiling laughing baby to work!?

Here are a few pictures of Conor laughing at me right after he had a "blow-out." I am not sure if he was laughing at me, or at the mess that he had just made! (This is why there is no cover on his changing pad... it had to go in the wash!)

Look at those chubby cheeks! At his two month appointment we learned that Conor has almost doubled his birth weight! (6 lbs 12 oz to 12 lbs 6 oz!) This may be due to the fact that my body believed that I had a litter and not just one tiny baby!
