Four Weeks Old!

Today is Hampton's one month birthday! We have had so much fun with him as we continue to get to know him and learn his every move. Eric started his new job at Ciber last week so he had two full weeks of daddy time with Hampton. And, I'm taking a three-month maternity leave so each day I learn something new about raising an infant. Deacon is also acclimated to our newest family member. However, if you come visit, he may jump on you or bring a toy to you...he still loves attention!!

FULL HOUSE

We went to the Cape this past weekend and had a blast with Eric's relatives from his father's side of the family. Eric's Grandmother (Ron's mother) and Eric's aunts (Ron's 3 sisters), uncles and their children, the Lombards, Zlogars and Creightons were in town for a great weekend of fun playing in the pool, wiffle ball, basketball and golf. It was wonderful to be able to introduce Hampton to his Great- Grandmother (the wife of Hampton's name-sake) and all of his great aunts, uncles and his cousins. Believe it or not, he still has yet to meet the three Knight families on Eric's father's side (Ron's 3 brothers)!

Above is almost everyone! From back L to R: Eric, Ron, Madison Creighton, Marin, Hampton Knight, Linda, Kym Zlogar, Zoe Lombard, Paige Lombard, Sterling Lombard, Aunt Jeanette Creighton, Drew Zlogar, Griffin Creighton, Grandma Knight, Hampton Lombard, Jordan Zlogar, Aunt Susan Lombard, Quinn Lombard and Uncle Pat Zlogar. Missing in this picture from who was there this weekend is Aunt Cindy Zlogar and Aunt Debbie Hampton (Linda's sister aka Aunt Nanny).

GO SOX!

Auntie Collin Comes to Beantown!

Auntie Collin came to visit Hampton last Thursday - just in time for Hampton's one week "birthday". She spoiled Hampton rotten with adorable summer and fall clothes and she captured the entire weekend with her fantastic photography skills. She also spoiled us by making delicious meals for us to nibble on while she was gone (thanks, Karen Conaway for the baked spagetti dinner!). And, Deacon wasn't left out either - she brought our pooch a new ball and a treat from Denver. We managed to hit Newbury Street for a little bit o' shopping with Hampton and we also venutured to Magic Beans, our favorite kid store. We had a ball while she was in town and I was quite sad she had to leave. But, we're looking forward to planning a winter trip to Denver so Abby and Hampton can play together and meet the rest of the Conaways too. We sure missed Greg, Abby and Anne!

Collin and Hampton

We are on the Cape now for a little R&R. Great Grandma Knight, the Lombards, Creightons and Zlogars will all be visiting so Hampton can meet his extended family. More to come!

Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

Yesterday was Grandpa Knight's birthday and in honor of celebrating his day, Hampton sent a note of love to the Cape. We were disappointed we couldn't celebrate in person but we're looking forward to a belated celebration on the Cape next weekend when Great-Grandma Knight and the Great Lombards (Great Aunt Susan, Jeff and Kids) are in town.

Lauren Wins

Eric's sister, Lauren, wins the pool with the closest guess.

Lauren's Guess: 8lb 9oz boy born on July 25th

Actual: 8lb 7oz boy born on July 26th

She was only 1hr 52min and 2oz away from being spot on.

We have no idea what she won...Grandpa Knight is still figuring this out.
