Happy 2nd Birthday to Mary Casen! (we are celebrating this weekend)
There was a "carnival/festival" at Connor's new school. Cora spent her time in the stroller but Connor enjoyed the moon bounce, dunk tank (he wanted to be the one getting dunked), fishing,

A seat in the back of a police car (luckily w/out the cuffs)

The ladder truck also put on a show. Connor could have watched this for hours. But it was hot when the breeze slowed and we left to take Cora home.

My birthday - best present Cora likes her swing and dinner at my parent's house. Delicious. Oh and the gorgeous orange leather Hobo wallet I found on sale (yes, probably b/c it is orange but I love orange) and bought for myself from my kids (love that).

August 30- First Day of School!

Connor and Colin

Connor with his name tag and required giant tote bag - I think he could fit in the tote bag- but that is the only bag he is allowed to bring.


Connor liked school (i.e. He went back today) and to celebrate Connor's very first day of school EVER my mom kept Cora and Connor enjoyed a burger and fries (and unsweet tea - he ordered it) from Mugshots. If you are in town, eat meat and haven't been - you should go. The veggie burger is also delicious.
THE END OF AUGUST (nearly finished the post in August too). This is the first and last post like this. I am exhausted but happy I have a memory of Cora's first month. Connor's first month was such a blur I wanted to make sure I remembered/ documented this one better.
