One Month Old (October 17, 2009)

-












Today Finn is a month old. I am so happy and thankful that he is growing, but his one month birthday is bittersweet because the month has gone so fast. Emily told me that every month on the 17th she is a little sad because Cooper is getting older (Cooper was born on December 17, 2008 and Finn was born on September 17, 2009). It is nice that the two of us can feel a little sad together.



You may ask, what did we get Finn for his birthday - a bump on the head. While Finn was swinging, Michael heard a noise and noticed that Finn was crying. When he went to check on him he saw that the mobile on Finn's swing had fallen on his face. Oops. Thank goodness this one wasn't our fault. Luckily Finn was fine.


For Finn's one month birthday we took him to Crackel Barrel where we ate lunch with our friends Greg, Shelley and Macey T. It was freezing today so we bundled Finn up in his hat and socks and went to town. After lunch Greg, Shelley and Macey T came by to pick up the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. In exchange Greg loaned us his "24" dvds. So the three of us settled in for a cozy night of chicken fajita soup and "24". It was a fun and wonderful birthday.

Ghouls at Grassmere

Yesterday we took the boys to Ghouls at Grassmere.  Day started out pretty traumatic for Sam.  He wanted to go out and play.  He started to notice that there were several little worms on the porch.  He was terrified that the worms were going to get him so he sat in the porch swing with me for almost an hour.  Finn spent his time finding worms and then stepping on them.  Michael doesn't like for Finn to kill worms because they aren't hurting anything.  I reminded Finn of this fact and told him not to kill any more worms.  After a few minutes I start to hear more crunching.  I decide to take a different approach.  I told Finn, "Finn - the momma worm is going to be so sad because you killed the baby."  He looks at me and said, "don't worry mom - I'm gonna kill the momma too."  So much for the guilt trip. After a nap, it was time to start getting ready for the Zoo.  We started with the tights.  I bought Finn little girl...

The Fourth of July

Well the Begley clan had a pretty big Fourth of July celebration. Finn and I started the day by making a quick run to Wal-Mart to pick up some oatmeal. Then we got ready for our day with with Emily, Zac, Coop, Hank, Nana and Papa. We all met over at Em's house for a little playing, a little swimming and a lot of eating. When we first got there we all sat upstairs and watched the boys play in Cooper's playroom. Finn was absolutely amazed at all the toys. Then we decided to go to the pool. After getting the boy lathered up, we all loaded in the back of Zac's truck like the Clampetts and headed to the pool. With respect to those who would rather not be seen in a bathing suit on the blog, I have omitted the swimming pictures. We didn't get to swim too terribly long because it started looking like it was going to storm so we were only out for an hour. Once we got back home we had dinner. Greg made the best ribs I have ever put in my mouth. To end the evening Finn an...

High Ankle Sprain

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.
