First Trip to the Dentist

Today was the first trip to the dentist for Maura and Brody. Dr. Whatley was great with both of them. Not a tear was shed, so they both got goodies bags before leaving the office. Once we got home, Brody did ask if he had to go back any time soon! We won't be going back for six months since on one had cavities.

Conner's First Birthday

Today was Conner's first birthday, and we had his party in Savannah. All of the immediate Thomas and Hazlip family was able to attend, so Conner had a great time playing.

a little unsure about the cake at this point

He devoured the cake!

North Augusta

This weekend we went to visit the great grandparents in North Augusta. It was a treat to have all five Thomas grandchildren in the same place at once. We had some fabulous photos of the grandchildren with the Thomases and the Taylors. Surprisingly, none of the children had a meltdown that day!

Maura was infatuated with the pink sofa at the Taylors, so she posed for this picture!

First Days of School

Maura and Brody started preschool Monday. Brody was not super happy to be missing cartoons while he was at school, but he did have a fun day!

Conner Crawling

It only took ten months, but Conner finally started crawling. Conner is definitely taking after Brody because he crawled to get a Thomas the Train DVD! Brody has plenty Thomas DVDs, so I wish I had known that was what would make Conner get going. Time to clean up the little pieces to all of Maura and Brody's toys!

so proud

End of July

The summer has flown by, and I have not updated pictures as I should have been doing. The summer has been fun just playing and visiting with family. Last week we spent time with the Thomas side of the family. We spent a day in Charleston at the aquarium, went to the Sand Box on Hilton Head and played with the Thomas cousins.

Conner just wanted to see what Brody was playing on his DVD player.

July 4th Weekend

Maura, Brody and Conner stayed with Lulu and Papa for the July 4th weekend. Chris and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the quietness of the house. It's a good thing mom took a few pictures for me because it was getting close to two months since I have posted.

Conner is all smiles especially when it's time to eat!
