Destin Part 2

Destin Part 1

We left for Destin around 6:30 and stopped for breakfast and made two other quick stops and made it here around lunch. We ate lunch at Fudpuckers and then went to Silver Sands Outlets and then Publix before checking into the condo. The condo is super nice! The weather is chilly and windy, but it is supposed to warm up more each day this week. Connor didn't want to have anything to do with the sand yesterday. He didn't even want to stand in it, so we spent some time at the pool. Today, he finally started to enjoy the sand and after a little while, he was having lots of fun playing in it. We have had lots of good eating and its only day 2!!

HI mommy

Swinging High In The Sky

My mom used to sing this song to me when we would swing and now I sing it to Connor (well not in this video, but when we aren't recording)

Swinging high in the sky let the whole world know, let the whole world know
Swinging high in the sky let the whole world know, let the whole world know
Look, it's a bird, no it's a plane, no its Connor!

Being a mommy to my sweet little boy reminds me of all the little reasons why I fell in love with Clay. Connor may be a mama’s boy, but he is Clay’s mini-me. I love seeing him growing and looking more and more like his “Dada” everyday.  The coy smile (sometimes hiding the secret plot to cause trouble) is a mirror image of Clay’s.

Trimm Family Reunion

These were some pictures from facebook that Sondra had posted from the reunion I thought I would share.
