Peanut Post: Remembering First Day of School

I'm an old pro now as today is my second day of school, but I asked Dad to put a movie of my first day up so we could watch and remember...oh how time flies!

Bean Bytes: I'm 20! (days old)

I may be getting older, but I get pooped easily. Sleeping is great!

Bean Bytes: Hi Big Brother!

I've been trying sooooo hard to stay awake for a few minutes so that I can get to know my awesome big brother! No offense Mom and Dad, but this guy is great and knows what he's doing!

Peanut Post: First Day of School (kinda)

We enrolled Connor in a one day a week 1/2 day school at a local church. The teachers are very nice and there are about 8 kids in his class...6 girls and 1 other boy. Connor was VERY excited to go and couldn't stop saying 'Yay Schoooool!'. He had so much fun that when I picked him up, he said 'NO DAD, BYE DAD!' and ran away from me. At least he had fun ;-).

Man Day at the Train Show

Dad's and boys got together last Saturday for the Columbus train show. We thought it would be fun to hang out together. Oh, how naive we were...4 boys, all about 2 yrs old...we were everywhere EXCEPT together! The kids really seemed to get a kick out of all the trains, toys, and simple bustling of the place.

Mr. Finn has been spending some quality time with Connor and he got to meet his Papa Lauchard!

Welcome Son, Brother...Finnegan Robert Lauchard

Bean Bytes: Prepping for my Imminent Arrival

Inducement was scheduled for December 29th at 5:00 a.m. Mimi and Papa came up to watch my brother Connor. I, to be honest, thought it was too cold to come out, so I was in no hurry.

First stop was some place called Tim Hortons...I got some water and some yummy chocolate milk to prepare for the move out (the employee did not want his picture taken, so he employed his ogre magic to blur everything out!

A couple of emergencies cause immediate waiting, fine reading and almost an hour delay. WAKE UP DAD!

Mom got all settled in the room...

and then....

Captain's Blog: Christmas at Home

This was our first Christmas at our house where Connor got to wake up, have breakfast and open gifts that were left from Santa Claus. This year was good to the little man. Trucks, trains, tools and more! Then we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's for some more merry Christmas cheer...Connor also scored a sweet remote control train set! Next year, little Finn will join us for all of our great Christmas fun!

Doughboys to start....

Trains to play with...

Cousins to hang out with...

More trains to play with...

This is how I play...

Christmas Choo Choo with Thomas and Percy

The Columbus Metro Library has a great train display during Christmas. Dad took Connor to see it, and ol' Connor was NOT disappointed. The pictures are one thing, but watch the ridiculous excitement as Connor a) tells the kid next to him that it's a choo choo and b) can't believe that it's really Thomas (Tommy).
