CONOR

Conor is almost 13 now (9/00). He's in 7th grade and does very well in school. He loves basketball and likes to play soccer, too. He also enjoys skiing and golf. He could excel at most things if he wanted to but he isn't real agressive or competitive. He enjoys the laid back, easy going way of doing things. He loves making lists and keeping track of statistics (especially for pro sports games)and is incredible at recognizing patterns. He scored the highest in our region on the MCATs in math. I tell him I can see him being some scientist discovering new things about DNA codes or something someday but he thinks that sounds boring.

He is good at basketball but here is a picture of him being shut down by a girl. (Though he claims that isn't true. He remembers this play clearly and the ball went right over her head. You decide... lol)

Conor after I cut (and RUINED according to him) his hair.

Their grandparents have a little powered rowboat that the kids can drive themselves and they love taking it out on the lake with no adults!

A picture of "my men"!

Everyone hanging out on the dock at the cottage in NH.

Here he is with Derek at the computer. Conor loves video games and would gladly spend the rest of his life just playing computer games, or Nintendo, or Sony Playstation. Unfortunately he has a mean mom who kicks him outside after an hour or so.

Conor and Colleen hanging out by the fire at the cottage.

Conor going down the natural water slide off the Kangamangus Highway. Let me tell you... that water is FREEZING!!

Conor hopping around on the rocks there.

Conor having a turn driving the boat.

Some pictures of Conor playing soccer.

My kids hate this, especially as they get older, but I make them pose for the first day of school pictures every year.

This is an old pictures of my kids but I love it. They were so sweet, and young and innocent once..... (Conor (left) with Colleen and Derek).

Here are some more pictures of them. Here Colleen is missing some teeth, Conor has braces and Derek is between braces. (Now (9/00) Derek has finished his braces, Conor is in the inbetween stage but about to get them again soon and Colleen is about to start her first set with them. With all this money going to teeth, how are we ever going to save for college for them????)
