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.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

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.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
