Connor at an Iowa Cubs game here in Des Moines
Connor is a third-grader at the Downtown School in Des Moines. He is obsessed with super heroes and likes to practice tapping his nascent supernatural powers. At other times he plays piano, goes ice skating, plays on the computer and says things like, "Mom, Quinn is quite obstreperous." (obstreperous: resisting control or restraint in a difficult manner; unruly) He's right about his sister, btw.
Connor and Shawn going for a cruise on our Vespa/sidecar combo. We do now have a better helmet for the kids, FYI.

In the background is the model town his class constructed.
