Well Finn's sabbatical is over! He arrived this morning via Grandad at 9:00. I woke up at 8:00 and drummed my fingers for an hour. When the doorbell rang and I opened the door and saw the sweetest little boy smiling at me from the other side. I missed him so much; my body literally ached to hold him. Thanks to Mom, Greg, Dad and Gina for giving Finn such a fun vacation.

A few minutes after Dad arrived with Finn, MJ and Coop came to swim. Dad, Michael, Finn and I all went down to the pool to play with Cooper for a few minutes. Later on in the day Finn and I went down to swim too. The water was freezing and Finn was starting to tire so after about an hour Finn, Cooper and I went back up to the house. Coop rode shotgun. I went about 2 miles per hour all the way home.
When we got home I gave Finn and Coop a bath . . . together. They had so much fun. Finn didn't cry at all; even when Coop got really excited. For the most part Coop and I sang the "UP/DOWN" song while Finn attempted to drain the tub. After a few minutes Finn noticed that I was paying way more attention to another baby and started trying to push Coop out of the way. After we had a short lesson on sharing Finn and Coop sat and splashed together for a few minutes.

After the bath, Finn and Coop played in the floor with Finn's toys, then both boys took a nap. Finn slept in the swing while Coop napped in Finn's bed.








Next Finn went to help his Dad feed Gran's cats and water Gran's plants. Once we got home Finn sat in my lap and drank his bottle while we watched the Lovely Bones. It was so wonderful to hold Finn. I probably held and rocked him for two (2) hours.

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!
