Danny's Wedding

We went to North Carolina for Danny and Kaitlyn's wedding. It was a wonderful and beautiful time!! We had such a great time with our family. Zack was sitting down on the job at the wedding :)

Memorial Day Weekend

Grandma, Aunt Debbie and Timothy came to visit us for the weekend. We had a fantastic time together. We played train and Settlers of Catan :) We did a lot of fun stuff and really enjoyed being together. Debbie's birthday was yesterday so we celebrated her birthday all weekend long - we didn't let her win any games though - Timothy even beat her in phase 10 :)
Conor enjoyed the company and loved playing with grandma's cane. He was pretty good at twirling it around and not hitting himself in the head with it. We hope they come to visit us again.

Conor

Conor likes to crawl around the house with Anna. She hides in a room and calls him and he finds her - what a smart kid!! He loves to go out and look for the dogs. Our neighbors both have dogs and Conor loves them - he points to the window to go out to the dogs. He pulls himself alot and opens all the cupboards. We think he grew up over night. Conor and I miss Tina - We enjoyed her visit a lot!

10 months old

Conor is 10 months old today and crawling around the house like a speedy spider! ... speedy spiders are fast if you were wondering.
We have been so busy enjoying ourselves with a lot of family festivities. Tina came over from Ireland two weeks ago and the four of us drove down to SC to see Danny graduate from Bible College and get married to a lovely girl! We got to see my parents, Kevin and Debi and their kids and the Fultons, Eva and her boys and Melissa. It was so nice to see all of you! Conor was an angel - he slept late every morning which James and I loved.. being on vacation and all :)Conor hates his car seat now though and thinks every time he goes in that it will be a two day trip so he protests at the moment when he goes in the car. We came home last week and Tina and I have enjoyed shopping shopping and more shopping. We went to a Medievil dinner yesterday in Chicago before she left for Ireland - it was fun and I will post pics later.
For now I just wanted to let you all know we are still alive and Conor is growing and changing so much... he doesn't care about his toys. He wants to find danger! He finds it so I am kept busy :) He has his two bottom teeth and working on his top left one.

Conor's first trip to the park

Conor loved playing at the park. There were no baby swings but Conor liked the big boy swings and he was so proud of himself swinging like daddy.

Conor's tooth :)

It is hard to snap a pic of his tooth - he has his bottom left tooth :)

Guess what FINALLY happened

Conor finally cut a tooth - yeah!! He has been teething for the last few days (months!) so yesterday I stook my finger in his mouth at a youth activity and felt a tooth. I told James to do the same and he did. Then our friend Mary stook her finger in his mouth and he bite her - it's was a funny moment! No pictures yet...

Bath Time

Conor loves seeing Anna each day. They like playing in the water together.


I don't know what they are doing in this pic

Easter

We had a nice Easter. James and I used our fine china for the first time. We didn't take any family pics but we did get a pic of our Easter dinner :)

Conor's first time out in the snow

It is snowing here this weekend and for the first time Conor has been pointing to the window at the snow noticing something fun is going on outside! So I bundled him up and brought him outside to feel the snow - he liked it and loves 'taking it all in'.

Happy St Patrick's Day

We had a fun day yesterday! We ate lunch at an Irish restaurant and got to hear some great 'ol Irish music. We watched a little girl doing some irish dancing... we had fun and hope you did too :)

Last weekend we went to Ruth's Baby shower in Indy (James sister is having a baby girl in May). We had a great time and got to see a lot of family.On Sunday we went to Wisconsin and got to see loved ones there also and then on Wed we headed to Wisconsin Dells for the night with Andrew and Timothy. Thursday we travelled home and Friday started the sickness in the Solarek household. I was sick with a cold on Fri, Conor became ill on Sunday night and now James has a cold. This has been Conor's first sickness - he has a cold and ear infection. Monday was his really bad day. We took Conor to the doc on Mon and each day he has improved but still not himself.

My busy week
