It's official! My baby boy with the long, white-blonde curls has officially become a teen! And he is taller than I am now! He also happens to be the sweetest, kindest, most obedient boy I know. And, man, can he tell a story...or ten...we are so lucky to have Connor in our family. I tell everyone he is my easiest child. He never talks back, he rarely complains, he's always up for some fun and he tells me constantly that he loves me. I am so blessed to have this kiddo...er..um...TEEN in our lives. We love you, Mac!

| His favorite shirt! |
For his birthday, Connor tends to like to do the same thing every year to celebrate--a little dinner out at his favorite restaurant, Chuck-A-Rama (he LOVES that dessert bar!), and opening gifts with family. This year he declared he knew EXACTLY what design he wanted on his cake. He drew it on a post-it note and I took it to the talented folks at Kohlers bakery who did a great job perfectly producing his vision. And just what did the images represent? (Yeah, I wasn't so sure.) Connor explained: a trident for Poseidon, a lightning bolt for Zeus, and a skull and fire for Hades. The boy does indeed love mythology!
