Farmer Finn

Today Finn and I went to Sparta. Kara was in from Washington state so we packed up for a visit. While the purpose of the trip was to hangout with family, the trip turned into a huge photo shoot. Upon arriving in Sparta we stopped by Aunt Laura's house - this gave Finn and Cooper the chance to get reacquainted.

Next we went to eat some mexican food with Granny, Papa, Brian, Johnny, Megan, Kara, Laura, Nana, Em and Coop. Finn didn't really want to sit in the high chair so I brought in his booster seat. Finn certainly does not travel light. Finn also ate Mexican food for the first time. He had a bite of beans and little sour cream.
Notice that Finn has his tongue out in this picture. Since getting some teeth this has become is new favorite pastime.



After lunch all the grown girls and little boys took a picture together. FYI Granny Martha refused to be in the picture. And yes, I purposefully pointed this out.
Next we went back to Granny and Papa's for a little visit. Melissa, Anna and Sadie Belle met us there too. Granny and Papa have some great places to take pictures so we took the babies outside for a few pictures. As always a "few pictures" turned into 4 cameras taking hundreds of pictures over multiple hours.



Finn cooperated for most of the pictures; that is until he discovered grass. More specifically that he can pull the grass out of ground and shove it in his mouth. At one point Finn gave one of his precious "mouth wide open smiles" and all you could see was green.
Overall Finn enjoyed being outside at Granny and Papa's house. He really did look cute sitting next to the barn in his overalls.

Check out that figure.

Once we got home Finn sat on a blanket in the backyard while Michael poured potting soil and I pulled weeds. He also played with the fun toys that he got in his Easter basket from his Sparta Aunts. Thanks Sparta Aunts!

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!
