October 2009

We've been super busy here...although as I type that I am thinking when are we not?....Anyway here are some new pics...Halloween and a few brags on Mr. Connor who is a remarkably efficient crawler, pulling up on everything, joyful little boy! Now if only he would sleep through the night :) I am sure to have more pictures soon as Hannah will be attending her first Georgia game Saturday and she has also been requesting a trip to the mountain to hike and watch the "leafises" rain! Keep your eyes out! Oh and by the way if you click on the photo you can see it in a larger version!

Enjoy!

Our Purple Unicorn

The little cow...he was less than thrilled with Halloween this year..

Proud to be standing and ready for the game in his GA gear :)

Tongue out..just like his sister!

Well see I just can't keep up!

Oh well...I guess this is harder than I thought it would be! We have been quite busy at our house...starting school, learning to crawl and now football season....Go DAWGS! Thankfully Jason has taken up a new hobby, photography, and he is getting really good. Here are a few of the latest and greatest....

Look at the jump! Amazing.
Here we are at Red Top Mountain after a hike


Connor LOVES the pool!

Has it been 6 months already?

I can hardly believe that 6 months have passed since Connor joined our family. Is it bad that I haven't printed a single picture? I do have a bunch on my phone if that makes up for it at all......Maybe one of these days I will start a baby book for Connor and get Hannah's updated to at least the first year birthday....oh well maybe these will be the things I do when I become an empty nester. Who has the time otherwise! Now that Connor is 6 months we thought it was about time that he learn to drive...


And now that Hannah's three, we figure it is as good a time as any for her to begin pulling her own weight...she seems to like yard work....
Although this picture is a little blurry I thought you might enjoy the "Flock of Seagulls" hair do! NICE!
We celebrated Hannah's birthday again in Jacksonville last weekend...she had a lovely day of swimming in the pool with her cousin Jack, eating cupcakes, opening presents and most important to her singing "the song"! I especially like the handle bar mustache effect from the cupcake!

Current Events at the Chafin House!

Here are a couple of fairly current pictures of Connor playing in his excersaucer....can you believe how big he is already? Does the time go faster with the second one or is it just my imagination?
Can you say frustration?


As an early birthday present, we got Hannah a sand and water table. This picture is the only evidence that it actually had two sides...one for water and one for sand...now instead of a sand and water table it is a sandwater table...oh well at least she is enjoying it!

So this is what happens when you mix a little extra time, a pair of REALLY small glasses and lack of sleep.......makes everything seems funny! Enjoy!

A Wedding and the beach!

We just returned last night from a great 6 day vacation that included great friends, a beautiful wedding and perfect beach weather!

Here's a sneak peak at some highlights!


On the way to the beach we stopped to visit some of our GREAT friends!
Hannah, Sabrina and Alex having dinner on the back porch..we miss you guys!

After Jason and I attended the rehearsal dinner, we hung out with Eli so that Amy and Jordan could attend Lauren and Justin's welcome party.....
What a snugly little guy he is! This morning Hannah asked "Where's my best friend E-I?"

Hannah and Jess in our Princess Dresses.


Hannah Loves Cauliflower!
Seriously! This is what she chose off of the buffet! Who knew!
Connor and mommy
Jess and Jason take a spin on the dance floor
..thanks to the help of several friends!
Connor and Aunt Jodi
She was feeding him just a few minutes before this pic...he sure is happy!
Mommy and Hannah Dancing..

I love the way that her hands are flying through the air as her hair flips out...She was thrilled to be in her princess dress, especially since it would fly in the air as she danced.
Hannah dancing with Daddy!
She insisted on taking him for a spin!
Hannah and Daddy!

On our last day we spent the afternoon at the boardwalk riding somewhat scary rides, eating pizza and gelato and painting pottery!


Hannah's first roller coaster ride...I was scared..Hannah LOVED it!

The Barrel Ride....Hannah was afraid of the ride operator..so was I :)

Connor proved that he can sleep anywhere!

Here are some pictures from our visit to Jacksonville for Easter!

Hannah and her cousin Jack.
..they were both so excited to get out in the yard and hunt for eggs!


Hannah, Connor and Mommy out by the pool!

Maybe I'll Share Pictures Now?

So second time mommy hood has really taken away my ability to share pictures and stories about the kids...I am hoping that this site will help me to share the wonderful things that the Chafin family is doing.


Here's our first update! Twelve weeks have passed since Connor was born and he is changing everyday. Hannah is a WONDERFUL big sister...she loves her brother in a way that I could never have imagined and Connor is equally as enamored by her. I am so excited to see their relationship as they grow up. At the moment Connor is working on holding is toys and Hannah is obsessed with Easter Egg hunts and her birthday (it's not important that it is more than 2 months away).

Hannah and Jason were in the AJC a couple of weeks ago...



OK wish me luck and check back to see if I can actually do this....
