Rounding Out The First Week of School...

Connor reports that High School is Fun... He's feeling engaged and challenged. He hasn't started football yet but will get involved in that starting next week.

He is taking 'German' as one of his subjects and we have been practicing German at the dinner table lately.

This weekend we don't have any definite plans for the holiday. But I'm sure we'll do something fun and I'll make a full report next Monday...!

The Three Amigos

Connor is tickling Elijah while Elmo looks on... This is another Christmas 2006 photo I thought I'd better get around to publishing before Christmas 2007 gets here...

I can't tell you how much joy Monica and I get out of watching Connor and Elijah play.

Quick Connor Update: I dropped him off at High School this morning. It's day three of the school year and so far Connor loves it...!

Fun Photo

This Photo says it all... Fun...!

And in other news: I'm happy to report that Connor's first day of high school went great...!

Not A Little Boy Any More...!

Connor started High School today... Wow...! This photo was taken at Easter two years ago, Connor has changed so much in the last few years.... Today is a milestone for Connor... His mom and I are very proud of him...!

Looking Back...

Here's Connor and Hobbes way back in January 2006

Connor and Elijah at Christmas, 2006

Teaching Elijah...

This is one of my all time favorite photos. Connor is so good with Elijah and Elijah adores Him. Of course, I love that Connor and Elijah can enjoy tennis together because obviously that is one of my favorite sports....

Computer Alert...!

Elijah gets a little jealous of Connor's computer sometimes...!

Connor Practicing for the Mic Jagger Contest

Connor an Rylee

I may have used this photo before, but It's worth publishing again, don't you think...?

Another Self Photo

I'm not certain what percentage of the world's population can curl their tongue and flair their nostrils like this but Connor is definitely in a class by himself in the self portait taking department...!

Summer Time Tennis

Here's a photo of Connor, Sam and Cade taken in June at the beginning of the summer... Sigh... I remember a time when I was taller than Connor and Cade...

Connor hasn't played very much tennis this summer. He's been traveling a bit and focusing more on football. I'll be publishing some football photos soon... Stay tuned!

Making Tacos

Connor Made dinner for the family last night. Tacos: one of his favorite meals. And mine, too...! I have to say that Connor's tacos were delicious...! Good Job Connor! He really has some talent in the kitchen. I can't wait for the next meal he prepares for us!

Connor's Tennis

We didn't have any champagne handy so Connor celebrated by drinking Elijah's sippy cup!

Connor placed second at his school's end of the season district meet. He played a very good player in the finals. We are all proud of Connor for having a good season...!

Tennis Champions

Here is a photo of Connor's Junior High Tennis Team at the conclusion of the district tournament earlier this year. From Left to Right: Emily Locke, Elissa Burgess, Jillian Moss, Kiley Weise, Ryan Beene, The Brooks Brothers Twins, and of course... Connor! Everyone pictured either won or placed second our third in their respective divisions...!
