Connor Augustus Bodwell

Connor was born on 27 Dec. 2009 at 4:43pm. Larry had just gotten back from his deployment at 12:30pm that afternoon. Connor decided he wasn't going to wait any long and I did tell him he had to wait till his daddy got home. I guess I didn't specify how long he had to wait after his dad got home to be born, he came 3 weeks early. So here are some pictures of our little guy.

Christmas Tree

FYI don't wait till 5 days before Christmas to go by a tree...the parents got in on Sunday Dec. 20th and that evening we went to get a tree. Needless to say there was not a lot out there. We did finally find one. He is small but very cute. Since he is so small some of my ornaments could not be put on because they are too heavy but he still looks pretty darn cute all decorated.

Light Parade

Last night a group of us braved the cold and went downtown to watch the light parade. We froze our butts off but it was a lot of fun and the kids enjoyed it. Here are some pictures from the parade.

Maggie's coat

Larry this post is just for you...here are a few pictures of Maggie in her new coat and collar. She looks adorable and I am not turning her into a sissy. She is my only girl so I am allowed to put her in pink.


Oh so cute

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving since the men are away a few of the wives from the team got together. Joann and Karen cooked enough food to feed the whole team though so we had a lot of leftovers. We had a great time...we ate, we visited, the kids got to play, and we planned our Black Friday extravaganza. Yes, I said it we actually went out on Black Friday. It was my first time ever and it will probably be my last. Well, here are a few pictures of all the food.

Pregnant Belly

Some of you have been complaining that I have not put up any pictures of my belly, which isn't really my fault. I had to have a belly to take a picture of so here is one I took the other day.

Christmas Lights

Today my friend Shauna's boyfriend came over and hung up my Christmas light for me. I didn't think that a 33 week pregnant person should really be climbing on the roof to hang them. My parents probably would have freaked had I done it. So here are a few pictures of Brian hanging the light and the lights all up.
