Nashville

Connor made his first trip to Nashville St. Patrick's Day weekend. Kyle was in Reno with the guys winning Connor's college tuition or losing our life savings!! Connor was a lucky charm for the Vols and the Ducks. How sweet it is!! He also met his feaux aunts- Jenny, Lori, Ritchey and Aimee. Cari and Bryan were wonderful hosts for the two of us. He also met Olivia and Kelly. Olivia was being silly while putting his shoe on for him. This weekend he goes to Bristol for the first time!!!

January 8, 2007

Today was his due date. He is 11 days old and we are doing well! He is sleeping 4 hours at a time at night.
We have matching nightgowns. Kyle calls it his "man dress".
Four generations- Gigi, great grand mammaw, me and Connor. This was the first time my grandmother met her third great grandchild.
Go Ducks!! He is good luck. Oregon beat #1 UCLA when he wore this outfit!
First bath at home

Photos from the first few days

It has been a great week so far. He is sleeping at least 2-3 hours at a time at night. The pediatrician said he was perfectly healthy and he weighs 7 pounds. These first two photos are two of our favorites so far. We love him so much.

The proud grandparents!! Gigi and Bruce ( he has yet to decide on a "grandfather name") They have been a big help- cooking, errand running and holding him anytime they can.
Maggie thinks he smells good. She is adjusting well. She seems concerned when he cries and can't understand why we are up at night so often.


Connor's first outing in his car seat!

Happy Birthday Connor Russell
