A group of Mothers started a Preschool with a few kids from church. Two days a week, one of the moms are in charge of conducting preschool for the week. Since Connor doesn't have siblings, I wanted him to be able to socialize with other kids his age. He loves going to preschool and asks all the time about his friends: Talmadge, Santi, and Gracie.
Logan update
Yay! We are finally a two car family, and no longer have to share just one car. Logan got a little commuter car with great gas mileage, 2010 Mazda 3.
Hanna Update
I was invited to do a twin newborn shoot...this was my first newborn shoot. I think waiting till the twins were 3 weeks old was not a great idea. One was either awake, poopy, or crying; ideally I wanted both to be asleep. It was a difficult photoshoot but I learned a ton.
Dallas Zoo
Connor and I were invited to go to the Dallas Zoo with a group of moms. Fun day out of the house looking at the animals. Connor had a blast!

Georgia Trip:
We drove out to Georgia mainly to celebrate Meme's 100th birthday. Of coarse we also spent lots of time with family.
Meme's 100th Birthday
A lot of family and friends came in from out of town to celebrate Meme's 100th birthday. It was a week long celebration including dinners, desserts, and parties. After the celebrations were over, Meme said she expects to have a big party every year, she loved all the attention.
Who: Francesca Jo Stanczkiewicz Hildebrand
Born: 29 September 1914 in Syracuse, New York
Parents: Stanley Stanczkiewicz and Apolonia Walters
Fun with Grandpa and Nana
While we visited we stayed at Grandpa (Dad) and Nana (Mary) house. They spoiled us and we had a lot of fun being together enjoying each other's company. Connor loved having so much attention. We played at playgrounds, Monkey Joe's, and took a day trip to north Georgia to visit Red Top Mountain.

Georgia National Fair with Memaw
Growing up, the fair was the biggest thing to come to town every year. We always went! As you can imagine, since we were already visiting GA, Memaw (mom) took Connor and me to the fair. Connor had a fun experience at the fair including yummy fair food, circus show, rides, and games. I did not expect when we walked through the ride section for Connor to get so excited. He wanted to ride every ride there and would have if he was allowed to. Who would have thought this quite reserved little guy would be a wild adrenaline junkie?
He almost drank the whole drink by himself

Visiting Friends
We wanted to make the most out of this trip and visit with as many people as possible. We got to hangout with Wade and Tiffany Berrie, Chris and "Momma" Wolfe, and see a bunch of people at our old ward in Macon.
