Baby boy.

Connor turns eight today. Eight! It is hard to imagine that he has been with us for so long, yet I can barely recall a time when he wasn't here.

I love my little guy. He may drive me crazy and I still don't really understand how to be his mom, but he is all mine, and I wouldn't trade him for anything.

I've decided for his birthday to spare you all a rambling post about what an awesome, strange, aggravating, and interesting kid Connor is. If you've spent any extended time with him you know this. And we thank you for the additional prayers.

Instead, I thought I would share some of my favorite Connor photos.

 I still love this picture that my sister Jennifer took. 

 This is the one that we are pulling out on prom night. 

 The very first time Connor visited the campus with us in Fort Wayne. He fell in the fountain about three minutes after this picture was taken. 

 Gotta love his energy. 

My sweet smiling boy. 

 I just love that I caught him in a giggle on this one. 

 My inquisitive boy.  

 I think this picture truly captures who Connor is.

He is always thinking about something.

My handsome boy.

Happy 8th Birthday Connor!
We love you so much.
