Connorman - we are so proud of you. Words cannot express how proud we are. You are thoughtful, caring, smart, silly......the list goes on. You are such a terrific big brother. I am amazed sometimes with how much you think of your brothers and help them. They adore you. Your love for learning is exciting. You are creative and love to read. I can't keep up with the books your reading some days. ;) You have a smile that can light up a room, and your hearty laugh right now is contagious. Oh how I love that laugh. You give great hugs and I'm so glad you are still OK with giving me a hug and kiss before school and that you want to snuggle at bedtime. That will stop before I know it. I'm going to soak it all up as long as I can. ;) You're questions catch me off guard sometimes and keep us on our toes. It's fun listening to you and daddy, your uncles, and grandpa talk sports. I sometimes think we expect too much of you because you have been so easy, so helpful, so mature, and just YOU!!! I hope you know how much I love you......I really do. My heart swells with love for you. I cannot wait to see what life has in store for you....it's gonna be good!
