Traveling Man (December 3rd and 4th, 2009)

On Wednesday Finn and I decided to go to work with Daddy. Michael had a hearing in Knoxville on Thursday so we though it would be fun to go too! We were right. After Michael got home from work Wednesday afternoon, we packed the car and headed for Knoxville. On the way we stopped in Cookville to eat dinner at Ruby Tuesdays. At the resturuant Finn was acting so cute and I wanted to take a picture. I pulled by camera out and I noticed that I had left my memory card at home!!!!! ARGGGHHH!!! I was so upset - Finn's first trip and I can't take any pictures. (The pictures I posted are just random).
Later that night we arrived at the Crowne Plaza. We had a nice warm room (we keep our house fairly chilly so when we got to hotels we go all out) with the best nursing chair I have ever sat in. The hotel also brought us up a fairly ghetto looking crib - nevertheless it got the job done because Finn slept all night. The next morning Michael went to court while Finn and I hung out on the king sized bed. We also practiced sitting. Finn can kind of sit up a little now. I will put him in the position and he will lean forward just enough to get his bearings and then he will balance for about 30 seconds. The sitting always leads to the same result - Finn falling over. Seeing this gave me an idea . . . I put a pillow behind Finn and let him practice falling backwards. The first time he fell backwards his eyes were huge - I thought we was going to fuss, but when he saw us laughing he started smiling too.

I had a such a good time on our mini-trip. I can't wait to take more family vacations with Finn!

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!
