Our Weekend...

Hello Everyone!  We hope you all had a great weekend!  The weather is beautiful here in Northeast Tennessee and we are enjoying every second of not being inside!  Although Jason thoroughly enjoys spending time outside, it seems to be a lifeline for Connor and I.  He has proven to be a lot like me in that a little sunshine and some fresh mountain air can cure anything that burdens him!  Here are some pictures from this past weekend...

Jason and I took Connor to Steele's Creek Park on Saturday, 4/10, to enjoy the sunshine!  Here he is, contemplating life...

I should probably mention here that Connor was having quite a rough day with his 3 new teeth that just busted through his gums on top!  EEKS!

Nothing that a little swinging can't cure...

On Sunday, we headed to one of our favorite stops...the Abingdon Winery!  We love to sit outside, by the creek, under the big shade trees at the winery!

34 weeks old and now with 6 teeth!

Jason said if you want a sneak peek of how Connor will look as a teenager, check out this next picture...in his new Easter outfit from Grandma and Grandpa!

On Monday, poor Connor had a very rough day with those teeth.  Finally, around 3 PM, we were able to make it over to Steele's Creek Park for some sunshine and nature!  Boy did that ever do the trick!  Here's the boy, at 8 months old now, contemplating those 3 new teeth...

After a couple of minutes in the sunshine...he was back to his old happy self!

"Wait a second...you mean it's gonna be sunny all WEEK, mommy?!"

Being that he's now a "ficial" 8 month old boy...he takes his swinging very seriously...as Kecia says...He's ownin it!

On our way back, we stopped to sit by the creek and Connor got to sit all by himself on the bench.  Although he can't sit for long by himself, he can sit for about 2 minutes now!

I didn't position his hat this way, but thought it looked very "gangster of him" ;)

Those painful teeth are but a distant memory when he's playing at the park...

That night, Jo-Jo and Granddaddy Greg came by for some dinner!  Here's Connor practicing his walking with his Jo-Jo!

He sure loves his Granddaddy!

On Tuesday, 4/13, I had Connor laughing hysterically by telling him about anteaters and making a slurping noise!  I got it all on video.  Here he is laughing at Mommy!

Have a great week!
