j u l y 4 t h

oh wow!  this has been a crazy month and we are only a few weeks in!  i started my new (full-time) job on July 1st.  i'm only full time in july & i'm looking forward to august when i get a day or two off each week.  i never knew how hard it would be to leave connor every day.  i may act like it doesn't make me sad, but it does.  :(

on another note, a great big THANK YOU to alison from connor & i.  we can't wait to order our maggie moos mom appliqued shirt!  ...now, just to decide what to get...

finally, our 4th of july festivites.  they actually began on july 3rd where we went to our friends the castle's.  wade does a HUGE fireworks show near barfield park & it was awesome!  we were so close, and it was so bright, i debated going to the car to get my sunglasses.  but, i didn't want to miss one second.  sadly, connor misses these - he was inside asleep (slept right through them!!)

on july 4th we were lazy!  it was a-mazing!  my mom was wonderful & took care of connor so i could sleep in :) and we literally did nothing all day.  i know that doesn't sound productive, but it was much needed in this household.  i was getting used to waking up before dawn.  and connor has been getting used to nap times that arent in his bed.  its an experience for all...

i may have forgotten my camera on the 3rd, but i grabbed it for the 4th!  our family stopped by my grandmother's work to visit our nunna (and all the sweet old people) and then we headed to MTSU for connor's first fireworks!

visiting our nunna!

the fam (minus mom)

connor & mimi at MTSU

Connor playing on the blanket - he was everywhere!

i just love this
he was trying to grab the camera
(typical connor)

not really sure what happened to this - but i still love it

aunt morgan came to hang out while nick hung out with his friends!
we love her!

when the fireworks started (very intrigued)

after the fireworks - 
actually, about half way through.

Connor may be a stubborn nap taker, but when he is sleepy he will sleep through ANYTHING!!!

We hope you enjoyed your holiday!  More updates soon!
