Marshmallows for everyone!

Tonight Callie learned that if she holds food out, the dogs will gladly take. Sean and I were making sweet potatoes with all the fixings and decided to give a few marshmallows to Callie. Instead of putting them in her mouth like I thought she might, she held it out for the dogs. They gladly accepted her offer and waited around for more.

Weekend highlights

Ah yes, a nice quiet weekend in the Connolly household. So nice that sleep snuck up halfway through our sweet potatoes and corn.

Then we went for a ride after mowing the lawn. Yes, I'm lazy enough to have a lawn mower for a quarter acre lot. Jennifer appreciates the short mowing time. I enjoyed restoring an old piece of power equipment. Note that no mowing was done with Callie in tow. When we stopped she kept pushing the levers to try and go forward.

Bath Time

Due to my work schedule I don't get to spend as much time with Ms. C as mommy does. So, I've achieved the title of Opener/Closer. With this role my duties include bathing and pajama prep at nights and feeding and dress in the mornings. We have gotten to know Chuck Lofton for weather and Mimi Pierce for traffic in the mornings.

Last night there was a joy filled bath as captured. This week bubbles have been discovered and are being thoroughly investigated. The discovery process includes confused faces, hand-bubble patting motion, and oral consumption. Exact bubble understanding has not yet been determined.










Note that a citation for poor feeding performance was issued to Jennifer last night.

My first Blog ever!

OK, so according to Gabe Popovich, we are not cool if we don't have a blog. So Gabe, this is for you! I don't promise to be witty, have correct grammar, or have regular postings, but I will give this thing a try. Callie has to have a way to connect to all of her fans right?

So, for our first event to talk about...

Sean decided to enter a float into the big town of Lapel parade this past weekend. He spent an entire week planning and constructing this float. If you ask me it turned out pretty cute. Sean, Amy, Anthony, and I got to toss out candy to all of the kids. Callie and Madison rode in style. There were many remarks as to how cute they were and both girls did amazingly well the entire parade. Madison even had a fiasco with a pinwheel getting caught (and I do mean stuck!) in her hair and still didn't break down. Our first parade was a hit and we have next year to look forward to. Knowing Sean, I'm sure next year's float will be even bigger and better!
Just another tidbit... This is what I see when I sit at my computer desk for a minute of internet time...
