Finn's First Bonfire (Saturday, November 14, 2009)

-






This morning Finn woke up at 5:00 a.m. Dad and Gina got him out of his crib and played with him until around 7:00. Dad said that Finn was in a good mood the entire time. I learned later that Finn had his first sip of Sundrop. Dad would dip his finger in the Sundrop and give it to Finn. If Finn becomes an addict I can honestly say that I had nothing to do with it :)

At around 7:00 they woke me and Michael up and we went to IHOP for breakfast where I had the stuffed French Toast with blueberries. Michael was pretty sure that I wouldn't be able to eat it - but he completely under estimated the fact that I am half "Vaughn" and we Vaughns can eat. I was a little disappointed because it was supposed to be shaped like a football with laces on it and instead it was shaped like a scone. Otherwise, it was delicious.

After breakfast Regina and Micah stopped by. Michael and I kept Micah for a few hours while Regina was teaching at a LifeWay event. We had such a good time with Micah. He is a wonderful baby! During this time me, Gina and Michael alternated helping Dad put up crown molding in my bedroom (my birthday present). My room looks so good.

Then we went to a bonfire at Sharon's family farm. Sharon's family threw the bonfire to celebrate David and Sharon's engagement. After dinner we went outside to roast marshmallows. It was a perfect fall night. It was cold, but it felt really cozy next to the fire. In order to keep Finn warm I kept him in his baby carrier all night. It was so nice to spend time outside with Dad. It was a really fun night.

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!
