One of the best things about Tuesday’s and Thursday’s is picking Connor up from school. I drive through the pick-up line, and when I get to the front, I hop out of the car to say hi to his teachers and enjoy the best part of the day. Every time, without fail, he runs full speed into my arms. I cannot even describe how much I love this. I know a day will come when he is too cool to run into mama’s arms, but for now I will enjoy every single second of it. The past 3 times I have picked him up, either a parent or a teacher has commented on how much they love watching Connor get picked up. I guess a lot of the kids already don’t do that. Those parents sure are missing out! I am so happy my sweet Connor reacts with such gusto after a few hours without me.
We had a yummy dinner at James’ and Kathy’s house tonight with the fam. They have such a pretty backyard, complete with a pond! I have been wanting to get some pictures in their yard, and I had a chance tonight. Originally, I wanted to get all the kids together, but that just wasn’t happening. Here are a few of my favorites:
My niece, Kayla.
My Dad. I love this picture of him.
Dad and Rebecca. My dad has nicknames for all his daughters. He calls my sister Rie, he calls me Bobbie, and he calls Rebecca Donkey. I am not sure how Rie and Bobbie came to be, but Rebecca made up the Donkey nickname. I have to ask about that story again…it’s such a funny nickname! But it’s so sweet when my dad calls her the beautiful donkey. Ok, it doesn’t sound sweet written on here, but it’s really sweet when he says it!
My man. I love this picture! I realized that I never take pictures of just him, so I forced him tonight. You can bet this picture will be on a scrapbook page really soon!
Your husband looks like he might enjoy watching Battlestar Galactica. Pshaw. Nice flip flops, nerd.

That is a beautiful backyard. I love the picture of Derek. David and I need to take more pictures of each other. I always think that our kids will never remember how we looked when they were young. I love looking at pictures of my parents from when I was little. Can’t wait to see you!!! When are you guys coming into town?
