Quick Note
Shawn sent me some pictures of his Nordic brood. I told him it was so cliché to say it, but they had all grown so much (Except Shawn and Denise, who both looked good.) I also told him the following two stories about Connor, which I guess I might as well share.
I got a letter from Connor. Kelli transcribed everything he said and it was a good letter. It discussed not needing a car seat when he’s 10. Not wearing pull-ups at night and staying dry. Classes at the gym with obstacles, etc… He asked Kelli if he could draw on the envelope. She told him only on the back. So he took the envelope into the playroom and WROTE on the back “Go Packers.” He copied it off his “Go Packers” magnet, and except for an extra “p” which was backwards, it was all correct.
Second story is also Packers related (why didn’t I teach him physics instead of football?) Said to Kelli “Mommy, next time I go on Lambeau Field, can I show Brett Favre my helmet with the circle on the back?” Ok, the thing is, Kelli never got around to getting a circle sticker to put on the back of his helmet, so he just drew one on there with markers. It rubs off after a week or so, so he just redraws it.
Reminded me of one last Connor story. Luckily it doesn’t involve the Packers.
OK, it does.
Kelli and the kids were at my Mom’s house with another couple watching a game (I don’t think the Packers) and they were talking about what a great gig Favre’s backup has. No one could think of the guy’s name. Kelli calls out to Connor (remember he’s four years old) “Connor, who’s the other quarterback for the Packers?” Connor thinks for a second and says “Aaron Rodgers.” WHAT??? As Jer would say "Es Verdat?" The thing is, I THINK Aaron Rodgers has only played in one game this year and that would be a Thursday night game that Connor would not have seen. Maybe he played in the Carolina game and Connor watched that at his Great Grandma’s house with my dad. In any case….are you serious?

You were putting me to shame with the frequency of your updates, so I was forced to update my Evelyn Brag Blog (although I pretend that it's all family news).
If I didn't live near Connor, and listen to his incessant chatter, I wouldn't understand your circle-on-the-helmet comment... However, since I do, I did!
