Dress Blues

Here is a picture of Josh holding Conor (2 months, 3 weeks). You can view the picture I have posted in 2005 of Josh, in his dress blues, holding Ronan at 4 months. Conor is so much bigger than Ronan at this age. I don't think Conor is as big as this picture seems to show him being, but I guess I see him everyday and don't notice his size as much. He is our chunk-o-monk or chunky monkey.

Conor--8 weeks

Conor in his Stitch outfit given to him by Josh's co-workers. I took him by the office and Nagami-san was so pleased that it finally fit him.
Here are a couple of pictures taken today. Josh can get Conor to smile by lifting and lowering his eyebrows while smiling and laughing.

...there's the smile

Halloween 2008

Ronan dressed as Boba Fett (the Bounty Hunter who takes the frozen Han Solo to Jabba in Star Wars Episode V-The Empire Strikes Back). Ronan is a huge Star Wars fan ever since we bought Lego Star Wars for our PS3. Now we have watched all 6 movies. Only true SW fans were able to identify his costume.

Conor went as a WeeBee. Ronan was also a Bee his first Halloween. This costume of choice stems from the fact that their dad is a Seabee.

I can't believe we are already 3 days into November. Turkey Day will be here before we know it. The Navy Exchange here in Yokosuka, Japan has had their Christmas decorations up for the last two weeks. Crazy. I remember back in the 70's when the Albertson's grocery store near my home would put Thanksgiving decorations up on Nov. 1st and Christmas Decorations went up the Friday after Turkey Day.

But all the stores around the States can decorate till the cows come home, but I believe this shopping season is going to be significantly impacted (negatively) by the current decrepit economic situation stateside. We'll have to wait and see.

For those of you who read this blog site, be sure to get out and vote on Tuesday November 4th.
