Connor Lately

Kids these days, they are just so busy! With all of the school and sports activities, it feels like we are constantly on the go keeping up with everything they are involved in. I know it only gets busier from here, so we'd better get used to it, ha! This post is a random collection of photos showing some of the things Connor has been up to lately, and I'll have another post soon about Kaitlynn.

So Connor's 2nd grade year is well underway and couldn't be going any better. He is still so enthusiastic about school and learning so much. We really lucked out with his teacher this year because Connor is really benefitting from her experience and positive learning environment. I'm just so thankful for that!

Connor recently brought home his official 2nd grade school picture. It made me smile but then almost immediately brought tears to my eyes at the same time. He just looks so. darn. big!! Sometimes I catch myself looking at Connor and can't help but remember the happy, angelic baby with chubby cheeks and wonder where he went?? Sniff sniff.

Recently Connor's elementary school hosted Donuts with Dad before school one morning. Jeff walked Connor to school and enjoyed some breakfast together, such a fun time together.

On another day at school, Connor's class was able to celebrate their good behavior by having Crazy Hair Day. Connor insisted on his Texans hair paint!

And just a note on Connor's Texans shirt... Connor discovered it hanging in his closet and begged to wear it. He didn't realize that it actually belonged to Kevin back when he was around the same age. How cool is it that Connor is now wearing hand-me-downs from his older brothers?!

Wearing Kevin's old Texans jersey, so cool.

And speaking of the Texans, Connor's youth football team is having a fun season. Currently they are 3-3 and fighting for a playoff spot. Connor continues to play offensive and defensive Left Tackle and is really enjoying it.

At one of his recent games, Connor was playing Defense and wanted to hype up the crowd like he sees the Pro players do at Texans games. He started pumping his arms and the crowd definitely responded. Cracked me up because he thinks he's J.J. Watt, haha!!
