While at the zoo we ran into Connor and his parents Joe and Elizabeth. Joe, Elizabeth and I were in the Mississippi Teacher Corps together and Elizabeth and I were at the same school and had the boys three months apart. Last year they were in Japan teaching English and even though they have been back since this past fall we have not managed to meet up with them again until this accidental encounter (If you remember fall I was VERY pregnant with Mari and we are just now trying our luck with traveling). Hopefully we can find some time this summer to get together again!
Jake was very interested in everything Connor did. He was very tired when we ran into them (no nap on Saturday) but he asked about him after he left. I think he was just in shock that Connor exists in real life as we look at pictures of him on his blog all the time.
Above Jake and Connor look at some Pink Flamingos. Below is the last time we were together at the Mississippi Teacher Corps graduation, middle of May 2006. Joe is holding Connor who is almost 9 months in the picture and James was holding an almost 6 month old Jake. Connor is three months older than Jake to the day (both born on the 25th).
