Auntie Hannah

My best friend Hannah came to visit us and see our cute little Con-man. She's a natural with babies since she is two of ten girls and can pretty much lull a baby to sleep at the same time as cooking dinner and probably updating her blog. She's not a mommy yet, but I can't wait to see her have a family of her own...she'll be such a good mommy!

Well, our little boy is three full weeks old and we're still alive. Take a look at some of his newest mugshots.

Big Blessings come in Small packages

Our little Connor has definitely brightened up our lives! He is 2 1/2 weeks old now and loves to go on walks with his mommy and daddy...it's amazing, if he's crying all we have to do is open the front door and he stops! He loves looking around and hearing the sounds of the water at the pool, birds chirping, cars zooming past, all of it! He responds to our voices and calms right down when we talk to him (most of the time) or when his daddy sings to him. Most every night Connor will sleep 4-5 hours straight, except Saturday nights--3 Saturdays in a row now Connor has had bad nights. We're not sure if he's worried that we might make him go to church or what, but like clock work he doesn't give us much sleep heading into Sunday mornings. We love him so much and learn more about him each day!!!

The Con-Man

Our little Connor Dean Burton arrived on Aug 22, 2007 at the beautiful hour of 1:09 in the afternoon. He weighed in at 7 lb and 1 oz and stretched 20.5 inches. After two days in the hospital, they let us come home. He let us know quickly when he is not happy or when he is hungry.

Hello...I'm naked in public...Ahh

Let's see. 7lbs and 20inches.

Mom and Dad saying "hello" and "its about time!"

Grandma Burgan always glad to hold her grandbaby.

Have you ever seen anything so cute in your life or parents who really think so?

I DON'T WANT TO WEAR CLOTHES!

Last prego picture

Well, this is it! We're about finished with these prego pictures and ready for Connor to arrive! Now that Grandma Burgan is here things are ready to roll. We've been so lucky to have such a good pregnancy, but so ready to be done with pregnancy as well. We'll be keeping you updated on the Burton household with our new little addition!

35 weeks

I don't know why it's so hard to take these preggo pictures, but it is! So, this is me...35 1/2 weeks preggo! Luckily I'm not too uncomfortable yet with just 4 1/2 weeks to go. I have only 2 weeks left of work and then we're on the home stretch! Mac is finishing up his summer class with his final coming up this next week, so he's definitely getting close as well.
We're really excited for Mac's brother, Darrin and sister-in-law, Emily to be moving here in 2 weeks!! It'll be perfect timing with Connor arriving a couple of weeks after. Everything is coming together and Mac and I are just trying to prepare as best as we can for this new journey ahead!!

A Breath of Fresh Air

Mac and I were able to spend 6 short days visiting with family and friends in Alaska! With Mac taking summer classes and me working we couldn't manage to take a longer vacation. And the fact that I am 7 1/2 months pregnant was cutting it close with the airlines. We enjoyed being able to celebrate my friend, Kasey's wedding...took a trip past Palmer up to Hatcher's Pass, an old coal mine(yep still snow up there!)...having a baby shower for little Connor guy...and relaxing and playing with family and nephews!!! Those boys wore their Uncle Mac out!!! It was great! Oh, and of course Mac was able to go on an all-nighter fishing trip with the boys and catch his limit in salmon (definitely his highlight of the trip!) Mac keeps trying to persuade me to move back up there, I just can't get it through his brain though that summer in Alaska only lasts for only 3 short months (if that!). He argues that he loves winter just as much.
