Happy Birthday, Grandmom

>> Thursday, July 16, 2009 – Caroline, random updates, vacation

The Connors trio headed to Melbourne, Florida for a SURPRISE visit to CEC's Grandmom and Papa Mike, and to celebrate Grandmom's 60th birthday!

The surprise went off without a hitch (whew!) and Caroline loved hanging in the Florida sunshine, doing some swimming in the pool and at the beach, playing with Aunt Catherine and Uncle Al (and new BFF Holly the dog), and enjoying the family vacay. And mom and dad loved it too.

A trip to Tallahassee!

No need for lots of explanation here - think you can tell from these pictures the great time had by our star (and her parents). She certainly did not suffer from a lack of attention, and true to her star-status, she enjoyed every second of it.

Alabama Here We Come!

>> Friday, November 21, 2008 – Caroline, vacation

All DC-area Connors (well all that we know of anyway) headed South this weekend to witness the nuptials of friends Lucy House and John David White near Decatur, Alabama. And lucky for all 3 of us, Grandma and Grandpa Beaumont went above and beyond the call of grandparent-duty and made the trip North to meet us and to have a weekend-long slumber party with their oldest's oldest.

CEC's mom and dad didn't manage to snap a single photograph during the entire trip. No pictures of the beautiful wedding, no pictures of C living it up with her grandparents, no pictures of our friends... not even a picture of us all dressed up for the fancy fete. Nothing.

Luckily, Grandma B was true to form and caught some fun moments (notice that she is not in a single picture. The poor life of the family photographer!).

A few chilly, but FUN walks around town

Saturday brought a trip-within-the-trip as CEC and grandparents headed to Franklin, TN to see Aunt Jake and Uncle Doug, and cousins, cousins, cousins!

Caroline and her 2 of the Wiseman boys - her 3rd cousins!

If the above picture looks familiar, remember - these two beautiful girls have been buddies from the very beginning. As in, the very beginning:

Yep, same two girls. Lucky CEC!

Bring on the next vacay! :)

We're Going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo...

>> Wednesday, April 30, 2008 – Caroline, vacation

...and lots of other places too, too, too!

So, maybe those aren't the actual lyrics... but seems to best sum up Caroline's weekend getaway to Florida (the 2nd trip to the Sunshine State in a month!) to visit the Grandparents Connors.

We did make it to the zoo (where we got up close with the giraffes), and to the beach (where we learned that C is not a fan of sandy feet), and to the pool (which was actually in the backyard, but still a destination).

Could a little girl ask for more?

Woohoo! Tallahassee!

>> Thursday, April 10, 2008 – Caroline, vacation

The Connors family first vacation was perfect! In addition to the big baptism (see previous post), Caroline got to spend some QT checking out all of mommy and daddy's old Tallahassee haunts.

She got good and spoiled, and never lacked for someone to hold her during naps or to play with her. Life is dull back in Bethesda with just parents for entertainment!

We wouldn't have had it any other way - we had a blast showing her off, and showing off Tally to her - we can't wait to go back!

Blessed in Every Way

>> Wednesday, April 9, 2008 – Caroline, vacation

The Connors family made a trip to Tallahassee for our first family vacation and for Caroline's baptism at Faith Presbyterian - Sarah's home church.

The important event was attended by lots of family and friends - and though we know it every day, more and more we realize that we are really blessed in every way.
