Brotherly Love

Today we had three (3) emotional people in the Begley home - me (weepy), Finn (fussy) and Sam (cranky). For the past few days mom has been staying at the house. I don't like to admit that I need help, but I really needed mom's help these last few days. She played with Finn, sat with Sam, cleaned and helped me with the shopping. We had a lot of fun and I was sad to see her go. She left while Finn was napping - when Finn woke up he immediately asked "where's Nana." When I told him she had left he started to cry. I felt so bad for him.

I spent much of the day napping with Sam. After mom left I fed Sam and then ended up sleeping on and off until 5:00. Around 7:00 John and Victoria came by and brought Shane's for dinner. Finn was pitched a few fits but ended up watching cars laying in the den floor. Sam was a little crankier than normal today as well. I held him in the boppy through most of dinner.

Right before we put Finn to bed I asked him if he wanted to hold Sam. This was the outcome

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!
