H12

-







Today Finn turned four months old! How did we celebrate? We left him in the nursery for three hours. We dropped Finn off at the nursery before we went the Sunday School. After Sunday School was over we decided to peek our head in to check on him before service started. When we got to the "caterpillar" room, we saw the nursery worker standing at the door holding Finn. Apparently Finn was having a hard time and wanted to be held. We walked over to make sure he wasn't being too much trouble. As it turns out he was in a good mood. He had his arms wide open and was smile at the gentleman holding him. Then he would put both of his hands on the man's face, look at him and smile. After that we went on to service.

About half way through the service the code "H12" flashed on the big screen. I didn't think anything about it until Michael whispered "that's us." So I hopped up, scurried down to the nursery and found Finn screaming. I felt so sorry for the poor nursery workers. When they gave him to me he immediately quit crying and started smiling. Service was not going to be over for 20 more minutes so Finn and I went to the lactation room.

The three of us spent a nice quiet day together. Finn and I took a little nap while Michael watched the playoffs. Later on, I watched the Golden Globes (awards season is my favorite time of the year) and tried to rock Finn to sleep. He was awake for most of the program. He didn't fuss or eat the entire time either. Instead, he just let me hold him.

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.
