Connor's Corner

Connor's Easter 2009

2009-04-14T22:04:00.000-07:00

Easter 2009: Elijah examines a chocolate bunny while Connor looks on. Later that afternoon Connor helped Elijah hunt for Easter eggs around our yard.

Random Photos of Connor....

2008-12-22T06:32:00.000-08:00

Connor is very elusive these days and does not like his photo taken... We are going to try to take more photos of Christmas 2008 but meanwhile please enjoy this Easter 2008 photo.

I love this photo of Connor and Elijah. They are hunting for Easter eggs in our back yard...

Our Faithful Friend, Riley

2008-12-03T06:48:00.000-08:00

Here is a close up photo of one of our family pets, Riley. (Elijah took this photo.) We adopted Riley two Christmases ago. She is a good dog and loves the family very much, especially Connor.

She is a rare breed called a 'Jack-Chi'. Well it might not be 'rare'. But that sounds better than saying she's a mix between a jack russel terrier and chihuahua...!

Hay Ride 2007

2008-11-20T03:02:00.001-08:00

.
It's getting closer to Christmas. Thanksgiving is just around the corner. I still can't get over how much Connor is growing up. Here's a photo of Connor, Elijah, and Elijah's good friend Abbie Tieman at the Columbia Lakes 2007 Hayride and Christmas Carol night. That was a fun night for everyone as I recall...!

Last year's Track Season

2008-11-15T06:20:00.000-08:00

Here's a cute photo of Connor and Elijah from last year's track season. It still amazes me how both boys have grown so much in less than a year. Connor is looking forward to running track again this year. And Elijah is looking forward to going to track meets again, too...!

Christmas 2007

2008-10-27T06:22:00.000-07:00

Connor and Granpa Arno

Elijah and Connor opening presents

October One Year Ago...

2008-10-16T09:00:00.000-07:00

Here is a photo of Connor and Elijah taken in October 2007.... Wow what a difference one year makes....! Connor is probably ten inches taller now than he was a year ago. Elijah is a lot taller, too...! Last year we tried to carve friendly faces into our pumpkins but this year I think we're going to carve scripture verses and Christian themes...!

Dinosaur World

2008-09-21T06:53:00.001-07:00

Our family visited Dinosaur World while we were in Dallas during our evacuation of Hurricane Ike. We mainly went for Elijah's benefit, but Connor had a good time, too!

This Summer in Kemah

2008-09-04T10:18:00.000-07:00

We went to Kemah in July for Elijah's Birthday. Look how tall Connor is now...!

Piggy Back Ride...

2008-09-03T11:08:00.000-07:00

Elijah just loves to ride on Connor's Shoulders....! This photo was taken during Connor's track season last school year. Connor has grown several inches over the summer and almost stands six feet tall now...!

Self Examination

2008-08-28T06:50:00.000-07:00

We went to the beach in Galveston for a fun family day the Friday before school was about to start up again. Monica made a comment to Connor that it seemed the sun was really making his freckles come out more. Connor took this photo of himself to see if his freckles were indeed increasing.

The result...? Inconclusive....

I just thought I would post this photo because Connor has such a serious expression on his face.

Nice Forehand...!

2008-08-19T06:03:00.000-07:00

Yea...! Connor's making a tennis comeback. He took last year off from tennis but has decided to get back into it mainly because his best friend is showing an interest.

It's really crazy, but you can hardly tell that Connor has laid off a whole year. Honestly, many aspects of his game are actually 'better' than where he left off...

Oh well, that's the benefit of being a finely tuned athlete...!

This photo was taken during a tournament in Corpus Christi back in 2006. Connor and I achieved a state ranking of #3 in Texas in Father/Son Doubles that year.

Not too shabby, eh...?

Smores

2008-08-01T06:23:00.000-07:00

Here's a fun moment we shared this summer... We sat in the back yard and made s'mores. Monica said she had never had or made a s'more before... That surprised us all. But we were happy to show her what it was all about. Connor has excellent s'more making and eating technique...!

Connors Track Season

2008-04-08T05:01:00.000-07:00

Here's Connor warming up for a race with Elijah at the Roughneck Relays

Here's Connor's good friend, Jimmy Welborn. Jimmy is a pole vaulter. They are both freshmen at West Columbia High School.

Playing in the Yard

2008-01-23T21:03:00.000-08:00

This photo was taken back in October 2007... Connor was trying to show Elijah how to use the skate board but Elijah wanted to ride piggy back!

2008-01-20T09:39:00.000-08:00

Dear Family, Friends, (and of course, Connor...)

Sorry I haven't posted photos in a while. The latter part of 2007 was extremely busy for me and I had to cut back on all my blogging. I'll try to do a better job keeping everyone updated in 2008...

Here's a quick recap about what Connor's been up to...

Connor had a great football season earning starting positions on both offense and defense
Connor continues to make straight A's...
Connor is planning to run track this spring and has really been committed to working out in the gym this year. He's already in good shape and with his new regimen he's getting stronger every day. I really admire his work ethic in that regard!
Connor is enjoying learning to play the guitar... Yea!
His favorite group activity with his friends is air soft war.

That's a quick update... I'll try to update at least once a week form here on out.

Thanks for checking out Connor's Corner!

Coach Sam

Our New Family Band...!

2008-01-20T09:36:00.001-08:00

Connor is such a good big brother...! Here he is teaching Elijah how to play the drums. Both boys love music and have interest in playing instruments.

Connor practices his acustic guitar while Elijah accompanies him on the Xylophone...

Connor 'Guitar Man' Copeland

2007-09-23T07:02:00.000-07:00

Connor is learning how to play guitar...! He has had a few lessons and has learned a lot of chords. He hasn't given us a concert yet , but he sounds good pretty good from his room...!

Teeth Cleaning...?

2007-09-11T21:08:00.000-07:00

Poor Connor was such a good sport this past weekend allowing Elijah to spray him with the water hose. In this action photo Connor accidentally took a direct shot in the mouth as Elijah shouts with glee...! By the way, Connor would like it documented that he blew up Elijah's pool with 'mostly his own air' because the hand pump was not working properly...

It's so much fun to watch the boys play together. Connor is an excellent big brother!

Playing in the Pool

2007-09-06T03:44:00.000-07:00

Here's a little backyard fun...

Filling Up the Pool...

2007-09-05T06:02:00.000-07:00

The water hose was just supposed to be used for filling up the pool but Elijah had other ideas...

Two Brothers

2007-09-04T21:20:00.000-07:00

Here's a nice 2006 photo of Connor, Elijah, and Elijah's Wiggles Blanket...

Connor Update: Today Connor got contact lenses....!

Teaching Brother How to Pedel...

2007-09-03T06:00:00.000-07:00

Connor helped show Elijah how to ride his bike earlier this year. At first, Elijah's big problem was that his legs were not long enough, Now he's a bike Pro...! I love this photo of Connor and Elijah. This is a great 'BIG Brother' moment.

Rounding Out The First Week of School...

2007-08-31T06:09:00.000-07:00

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

2007-08-29T05:47:00.000-07:00

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

2007-08-28T05:40:00.000-07:00

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...!

2007-08-27T04:38:00.000-07:00

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...

2007-08-26T10:15:00.000-07:00

Here's Connor and Hobbes way back in January 2006

Connor and Elijah at Christmas, 2006

Teaching Elijah...

2007-08-24T06:44:00.000-07:00

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...!

2007-08-23T06:13:00.000-07:00

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

Connor Practicing for the Mic Jagger Contest

2007-08-22T05:51:00.000-07:00

Connor an Rylee

2007-08-21T06:02:00.000-07:00

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

Another Self Photo

2007-08-17T03:26:00.000-07:00

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

2007-08-16T08:33:00.000-07:00

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

2007-08-15T05:38:00.001-07:00

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

2007-08-13T03:52:00.000-07:00

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

2007-08-10T02:42:00.000-07:00

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...!

Connor Up Close

2007-08-09T05:21:00.000-07:00

Here's a photo of Connor after his district tennis tournament this past April. I'll publish more photos from the tournament tomorrow! -Please Check Back!

We're Missing Connor..!

2007-08-06T22:08:00.000-07:00

Elijah Loves Riding on Connor's Back...!

Riley always gets jealous....

Elijah and Connor Playing

Aug 6 Update: Connor has been away for over two weeks visiting his grand parents and he'll return next Monday. We've all missed him... -Especially Elijah... We are all looking forward to Connor's return...!

Stargate Atlantis

2007-02-14T19:15:00.000-08:00

Stargate Atlantis is one of Connor's favorite shows.... We ordered the complete 1st season on DVD recently. It was shipped from Illinois to Austin, then to Oklahoma, and then to Dallas...

It finally turned up in West Columbia ten days after we initially placed the order...!

Connor and Elijah at Play

2007-01-31T21:24:00.000-08:00

Here's Connor showing Elijah how to hit a topspin forehand. Connor's a good teacher...!

Connor and Elijah both love music. Here's Connor showing Elijah the white keys.

Connor and Rylee

2007-01-14T17:54:00.000-08:00

We got a new dog at Christmas. Her name is Rylee. She is a Chihuahua-Terrier mix. This is the first picture we ever took of Rylee.

Connor's Christmas 2006

2007-01-05T08:14:00.000-08:00

Connor's 2006 Christmas was spent here at home in West Columbia Texas with mom, stepdad, brother, Granpa Arno and Granma Judy. After a delicious Christmas dinner Connor and Granpa were anxious to open presents.

Connor is shown below modeling his new St Louis Rams jacket. Granpa Arno is smiling in the background...

Some of Connor's presents included a new I-pod, some video games, books, clothes, a cool soccer game, gift cards, and cash. He also enjoyed playing with Elijah, who got some cool toys, himself...!

The Rams are Connor's favorite football team.

The 'beloved' I-pod... I'm afraid this is a permanent fixture in Connor's ears...

Connor has enjoyed this game a lot. It's an elctronic soccer game...!

Connor and Elijah enjoy playing together. This is one of my favorite Christmas photos...!

Catching Up with Connor

2006-12-01T07:48:00.000-08:00

Connor is such the All Around Athlete...! He just finished football season where he was the starting quarterback for his team... He's shown here in this photo playing basketball with Elijah... He just played his first game of the season last night... The team lost but he played very well. I'm proud of him for exploring his athletic talents...!

Here's Connor practicing his serve at our Holiday Tennis Camp last week. He has a great talent for tennis. I personally think that's his best sport, but I might be just a little biased...

Connor and Baby Brother Elijah

2006-11-14T05:39:00.000-08:00

Here's Connor holding Elijah all wrapped up in his Wiggles blanket... As you can see, they both have traditional 'morning hair'...

Great Seat...!

2006-10-19T05:09:00.000-07:00

Connor holds Elijah on his shoulders and looks out the window at my Elijah's Great Grandmother's house in Bay City.

Elijah adores his older brother...!

The Connor Report October... Football season continues to go well. Connor plays mostly quarterback for his team but wishes he could play defense a little more so he could hit and tackle people... He's doing well academically and is a member of the National Junior Honor Society for his grade point average...!

Connor Update...

2006-09-29T03:36:00.000-07:00

Sorry I don't have a current photo to publish today but I am happy to report that for his academic excellence, Connor is now a member of the National Junior Honor Society.

Also, I am pleased to report that Connor won his tennis tournament this past weekend.

And... This past Tuesday he played quarterback for his school team the entire game and they won by two touchdowns...

Unfortunately he missed school Wednesday because he was feeling sick and had a bit of a fever, but over all it's been a great week for Connor...!

About a year ago....

2006-09-21T04:52:00.000-07:00

Here's a photo taken of Connor at about this time last year in 2005. He's about six inches taller now..! Wow... What a huge change a year can bring.... Tomorrow I'll publish a very recent photo of Connor for comparison...

Strange Angle

2006-09-20T05:41:00.000-07:00

We took this photo with the camera at an odd angle so I thought I'd post a crooked photo... This picture was taken during our california trip at the end of May.

Connor Update: He didn't play much in the football game last night and the team barely lost in the last 7 seconds... I think if they would have given Connor more game tiume then they would have won...

Connor has a tennis tournament this weekend at Columbia Lakes... He's still hitting the tennis ball pretty well..

Playing with the Boo Boo

2006-09-19T05:23:00.000-07:00

We all enjoy playing with Elijah. But I think Elijah enjoys playing with Connor the most. They really seem to have a special relationship. I'm glad for both of them to have each other.

The Quick Connor Report: He's having a good eighth grade year. His grades are fantastic. He's the quarterback for the football team. And his tennis is improving...

Hopefully we'll get some photos of his football season posted soon. He's currently in the second week of an eight week season. Last week his team tied 6-6 in a very wet, rainy game. Today the weather should be a lot nicer...

More again soon... -Coach Sam

Crazy Mother's Day Photos

2006-09-11T04:41:00.000-07:00

We went to Wharton for Mother's day. After a delicious lunch we went to the riverside park and played on the playground. Connor and Elijah had a great time...!

One More Corpus Photo

2006-05-19T07:08:00.000-07:00

Here's a photo of Connor Sam and Elijah at the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus...!

Game Boy Time

2006-05-18T05:51:00.000-07:00

Corpus Trip Action Photos

2006-05-17T06:36:00.000-07:00

Connor prepares to return a serve during our recent Corpus Tournament.

Connor Displays excellent form on his forehand during in the Corpus Tournament. We placed second in the Father Son Doubles Competition.

Connor dives into the hotel pool after the match...

Connor's Dolfin

2006-05-10T07:14:00.000-07:00

We took a trip to Corpus Christi this past weekend and visited the Texas State Aquarium. One dolfin took a particlar liking to Connor....!

Connor's Easter

2006-04-25T06:15:00.000-07:00

We had dinner at Pappasitos Mexican restaurant in Sugarland on Easter Sunday. Here's a great picture of Connor. Poor Elijah had just dropped his lemon when I snapped the photo...

Connor made bunny ears on his little brother before our meal was served...!

An Apple A Day part 2...

2006-04-17T05:23:00.000-07:00

There are now stricter consequences in effect for talking back to Mom...!

Connor's Kitties...

2006-04-12T03:04:00.000-07:00

It is said that pets take after their masters... Well our cats love Connor and they love sleeping. In fact, they love sleeping on Connor's bed more than any other place in the house...!

An Apple A Day

2006-04-10T04:48:00.000-07:00

Connor displays good balance and posture when he's not playing his game boy. Tomorrow: The photo of Monica about to shoot the apple off Connor's head with her crossbow!

The Boys

2006-04-05T08:08:00.000-07:00

This picture doesn't need a caption...!

Playing With Elijah

2006-03-31T04:13:00.000-08:00

Connor is shown here playing with Elijah. These two are very good buddies. I'm so glad they have each other...!

The Connor Report: Connor is still doing great in school... His tennis is good... And he's starting to earn extra money with a part time job helping me at the tennis shop...! He's getting tall. He stands taller than his mom and I now. I would also like to report that he did get a hair cut yesterday...! I'll try to publish a fresh hair cut photo tomorrow!

Bad Hair Days for the Boys

2006-03-30T03:20:00.000-08:00

Here's Connor and Elijah right after they awakened during our trip to Corpus Christi a few weeks ago. Although Connor has defended that his uncombed hair is a legitimate style these days, he's recently expressed the desire to get it cut short again... Praise the Lord!

No Pictures Please....!

2006-03-16T04:10:00.000-08:00

I can't remember if this was a morning photo or Connor just didn't want his photo taken...! It was taken sometime in March, 2006. One of Connor's favorite pastimes after tennis and basketball is laying on the couch...!

Karate Kids...

2006-03-12T18:22:00.000-08:00

Remember the movie Karate Kid...? Well, I was re-enacting some famous scenes from the movie...

And Connor got into the swing of things, too...

You Don't See This Very Often....

2006-03-10T05:48:00.000-08:00

This photo was taken early sometime around 6 AM as we were heading out the door one weekend for a tournament. Connor is pumped and excited about tennis. I'd have to say that over all Connor is a 'night person'. He's definitely not all smiles in the morning when he has to go to school...! But he can rise to the occasion for tennis!

Tournament Days

2006-03-08T04:58:00.000-08:00

Here's a photo of Connor at his first tournament this year back in January. It was COLD that day...! We've been really busy with tennis the past few weeks. Connor is playing for his school, West Columbia Junior High. Not too surprisingly, Connor is the number one 7th grade boy on his team...!

The Locker Project

2006-02-16T06:50:00.000-08:00

Here's a recent school project that Connor made for his math class.

The task was to show up to 15 differnt objects that one would find in an every day situation. Connor chose a trip to his school locker as the every day situation or occurence. I thought he did a very good job on it and so did the teacher...! (He got an 'A' on the project)

Not Ready For Prime Time....

2006-02-15T06:19:00.000-08:00

No one ever said Connor was a morning person. This is his weekend routine, (especially on Sunday before church): Once he finally partially awakens he makes it to the couch and collapses with his comforter... If you try to engage him in conversation or in this case, try to take his picture... Don't expect a whole lot of cooperation....!

Tennis, a Coke, and a Nice Dog...

2006-01-10T06:48:00.000-08:00

Here's Connor relaxing with 'Gracie Nagle' after a Saturday morning tennis workout. Connor usually spends his Saturday mornings at the Saturday morning drill . This coming weekend Connor is playing in a big tournament in Katy.

Action Photo...!

2006-01-04T05:53:00.000-08:00

Here's Connor hitting an off-balance forehand groundstroke... -He's really much better than this photo idicates, and he's been practicing diligently these days for a big tournament that will be held January 14-15 in Katy, Texas. There are over 100 other boys from all over the greater Houston area in his age group for the tournament

Connor at a Tennis Drill

2006-01-02T04:34:00.000-08:00

Here's a photo of Connor helping out a tennis drill earlier this year while I snapped pictures. Connor does a really good job of feeding a tennis ball...!

January 2, 2006
Today is Connor's last day of school vacation. We have a tennis social this morning from 9 to Noon and that's pretty much the big activity for the day. Connor is trying to kick his tournament training into a higher level now as he has a big tournament in two weeks...!

Hanging out with Elijah

2005-12-25T06:37:00.000-08:00

Here's a nice photo of Connor holding his baby brother in the back yard while I was cooking Thanksgiving dinner on the smoker. Connor is a very good brother... And Elijah simply adores Him!

More Connor Christmas

2005-12-22T06:04:00.000-08:00

Here's Connor with a new PS 2 game that Grand Pa Arno sent him

12/22/2005

Connor is heading out to Missouri today at noon... We're about to go get one more tennis workout before he leaves... He's been hitting the ball extremely well lately!

Early Christmas For Connor

2005-12-19T03:52:00.000-08:00

Connor is shown here proudly displaying one of his favorite Christmas gifts: a 40 gig MP3 player. This was a gift from Grandpa Arno and Grandma Judy. We opened presents early because Connor is leaving on December 22 to spend Christmas with his other set of grand parents in Missouri.

12/19/2005
Connor starts his day off this morning with baby sitting Elijah while his mom takes a tennis lesson. Then Connor will participate in a Christmas Break Tennis Camp from 10 AM to 2 PM... Then he's off for an afternoon of Christmas shopping.

Christmas Break...!

2005-12-17T07:28:00.000-08:00

Connor went through a period of time earlier this year when he did not want me to take his photo. This is one of those times. He was trying to swing the racquet up in front of his face but I was too quick for him... We had just finished a tennis workout and he was hot and sweaty.

12/17/05:
The weather is too cool for tennis today. The temps are hovering in the low 40's and upper 30's and it's a little rainy. But Connor is eager to practice. We've got two big tournaments coming up next month. He's going to be gone to Missouri for most of Christmas break and the weather probably won't be tennis friendly up there. So we'll have a lot of catching up to do in the New Year...!

Brothers

2005-12-15T06:10:00.000-08:00

Connor dressed up Elijah the other night. I think that's a pair of Elijah's pants on Elijah's head... But it makes him look pretty cool, I think. They had a great time playing. Check out some of the other photos on Elijah's Blog.

Tomorrow is the last day of school for Connor until January. And he leaves for Missouri on Dec 22 to spend Christmas with his Dad's family.

Tennis Anyone...?

2005-12-14T05:29:00.000-08:00

Here's a photo of Connor playing one of his favorite sports: Tennis. It's difficult for Connor to choose which sport he likes best. (He also loves football...) He's such a good athlete that he's going to excel in any sport that he puts his mind to...

All I know is that he's better than I was at the same age. Plus, since he has a built in professional coach as a step dad and he lives just five minutes away from eight lighted championship tennis courts, he's got an unbelievable opportunity that I would have died for when I was a kid!

I think for now that tennis is just a hobbie for Connor. But if he ever gets serious about it, he's got great potential, that's for sure! Any way... This is the first of many tennis photos...

Family Ping Pong Champion

2005-12-12T06:02:00.000-08:00

Connor Loves to play Ping Pong. Here he is preparing to deliver a serve back at our old house on Arncliffe in Houston. We haven't played too much since we moved to West Columbia but after we finally get completely unpacked I'll bet we play quite a bit. We now have a great garage with lots more room than our other garage did.

Connor Update: 12/11/05

As you can see I didn't post over the weekend. I probably won't as a general rule. The weekends are a different routine for me and I tend to not use my computer as much on Saturday and Sunday. I'm trying to make that more 'family time'.

Connor was feeling a little under the weather this weekend. He had a low grade temperature and didn't do a whole lot. But the weather is looking good this week and hopefully he'll feel up to practicing lots of tennis...! We have a big tournament on his schedule the first weekend of January!

The New Connor Copeland Photo Journal Starts Today

Connor is serious most of the time, but he definitely has a playful side that comes out at the most unexpected moments. (like this particular time when he was kidding around hiding in the game and movie closet at our old house. He would wait patiently and quietly, then pop open the cabinet door and scare his mom or the kittys. This photo was taken about five or six months ago. He's grown so much in the past few months that he probably couldn't fit in there now...

Since Elijah has his own blog, I thought Connor should have one, too. This Blog is my new winter project. I want Connor to have great memories of his growing up years in West Columbia. It's also a great way for friends and family across the country to stay in touch with what's going on with Connor. I'm just going to add this blog to my daily routine of blogging. It will be mainly a photo blog with a little commentary here and there.

And of course, Connor will be a guest blogger himself from time to time as well. He may even completely take over this blog eventually. That wouldn't hurt my feelings. I hope that one day Conner will get into his own routine of keeping a journal as a legacy for his future family. (I've kept a journal off and on from when I was in high school.)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy today's photo.

See you tomorrow...
