Sam and Lo | Updates

Updates on our fabulous children...
They are perfect and we are absolutely blessed!

We had an awesome 4th of July at Auntie Cris' house.

Sam loves to dance...Lauren is quickly learning 

We had several birthday's at Pump it Up this year.  Awesome place!

LAUREN

• Lauren is now on the move in a major way!  She can walk so quickly and is gone in 60 seconds....keeps us on our toes
• She can say "eye you" in response to "I love you!"  (Sam said the same thing when he was her age)
• She is still so happy and laughs all the time
• She has 6 teeth (4 on top and 2 on the bottom)



Awesome outfit for Rochester Country Club....love her in leopard!  (this may also be her Pebbles costume for Halloween this year...stay tuned)



Getting brave in the sprinkler (but still have to keep her sheltered from the shade - us Connell's don't do so well in the elements)

SAM

• Still is into dressing up - jerseys, superheros, animals...anything!  But when he does he needs ALL the accessories with every outfit.  Sports - he needs the authentic jersey and all the equipment (including matching underwear); Superheros - he needs matching undies (yes, I did get them for him...again) and the masks, capes and swords; Animals - he rarely gets out of character (at the zoo when he went in a cheetah costume he went the entire time waiting for us to find the animals that looked like him and then was thrilled when we finally say the cats in the cage
• He has pretty good manners, "talks sweet", and still puts on his "listening ears."
• He loves his sister, but is still learning how to be gentle with her....it's a process

"Here Granny, wear this.  You be Setoguchi and I will be Koivu.  Now, stand here and look tough."

"You have to celebrate into the boards."

Patiently waiting for dad to come home so we can go swimming.  He was there for 40 minutes.

Loves reading....and loves sports.

We play baseball for hours a day!

We love the Twins and have so much fun going as a family.  This photo was from Sam and Pat's Father/Son game!
