Random thoughts

Last night as we were putting Connor to bed, Jeremy said "I love you Connor" and Connor said right back to him " I love you daddy" and he said it to me right as I was putting him down for the night. Melted my heart and almost brought tears to my eyes. Then I tried to get him to say it again , but he wouldn't so I said "I", trying to get him to repeat me. Promptly he looked at me, pointed to his nose and said "nose" I couldn't help but laugh.

Thanksgiving is next week and I really enjoy this time of year. Getting together with family and friends is always memorable. Luckily our parents are not too far apart so we get to spend time with both. Wednesday we will be headed to Madison to eat Thanksgiving dinner at Papa's house on Thursday. That evening we will head to Tallahassee to eat at my parent's house on Friday. Friday is also known as "black Friday" and I'm not sure yet if I will be getting really early to do any shopping or not. The Dixon side had decided to draw names and the French side is not exchanging gifts at all, so we don't have too much to buy this year, thank goodness. Money is tight around here, as it is with most everyone.

Saturday is the FSU/UF football game and with some luck FSU will pull one out, but I highly doubt it. Our plans are to leave Connor with Nonnie, and we'll meet up with friends and have a good time.

Friends and The Columbia County Fair

Yesterday my friend Jessica and her little girl Sophia came to play. We went to Alligator Park then played on our backyard and had lunch. The kids were so dirty that there were no amount of wipes available to wipe them off, so in the tub they went:

Last night we took Connor to his first Fair. He had a blast.We rode the carousel once and the train twice. If only it was so dang expensive, I think he would have stayed on the train all night long. Sorry for the blurriness. The ride went too fast for our slow camera to take a good picture.

Fall 2008

Here are some recent pictures of us as Fall has begun:



Feeding the ducks and kissing daddy:

Connor was actually really sick the week of Halloween, so that night was not as fun as it should have been. Getting him in the costume was a great accomplishment for sure.
