Connor!

 Connor's birthday was on Sunday but we had a celebration on Saturday.  It was really fun to have Amanda's family and a few extra family / friends to help celebrate.  There was pickleball playing, frisbee golf practicing, food to eat from the barbecue, and delicious chocolate trifle.  The best thing of all is having a Connor to celebrate.  

I forgot I had presents for Connor until the very last minute!

Derek told the story of how Connor got his name.  Derek read a Leon Uris book before we had any kids and he really liked the character named Connor.  We ended up having three girls first and so Derek saved the name for quite a while before we could give it to a son!

Connor was known as "The Bigg" when he was "little" and then Pally or O'Malley.  Derek is good at giving out Nicknames.  

Here's a picture of "The Bigg" being held by Tia!

Connor is a good person and we are very, very thankful that he is a part of our family!
