The morning after Halloween I flew out to Memphis to meet my brand new little nephew, Conner Payne...
I got to spend a little time with my grandad. love him!
look at this sweet munchkin
i've forgotten what it feels like to hold one this little ;)
my niece reese had recently broken her arm, so we shared some snuggles
showing off her cast--she picked the blue
while i was out of town, mario was busy attempting a camp out in the backyard with the boys
they were sooo excited to sleep in a tent!
all their special "friends" joined them as well--
they made it until about 2am, before the boys got too cold and wanted to head back to their beds
the next week while anthony was at school, lucas and i celebrated his hippo's birthday!
(yeah, it was really just an excuse to get some donuts!!!)
anthony's project on lyndon b. johnson--he picked this president himself in class. when i asked why he chose this one, he said that in the picture mrs. cleveland showed him of president johnson, it looked like he was holding a garbage can! i guess he found that interesting! ;)
Anthony's Elementary Showcase--
he performed two songs with his class
(to anthony's right--in the orange shirt--is porter, his best friend in school)
lucas couldn't wait to see his brother on stage
they sang "Jesus Loves Me" with the hand motions
they also sang a color song which tied in to their studies
(they've been memorizing the color names as sight words)
snuggles with daddy after it's all done--
he did great!
Lucas always asks to ride the mickey golf cart anytime we are at babies r us
my handsome boy--
love hanging out one on one while anthony is at school
i walked in the kitchen to find them making milk bubbles one morning!
my good friend kristin and her newest little one samuel at the ornament exchange we participated in
mario still has regular jam sessions with the boys
i love how he is instilling a passion for music within them, especially good worship music!
