First Day Home

-
At 8:45 on Saturday morning, Nana quietly came upstairs to check on me and Will.  She found us sound asleep snuggled up on the air-mattress.  Finn came upstairs too and held Will for the first time. His expression was so cute - he had the biggest smile on his face. After sitting around for a few minutes I took a shower and got ready for Emily and her family to come over for lunch.





They got to our house at around noon.  Emily brought chicken salad sandwiches for lunch - they were so good.  The best part of the visit was seeing Hank with Will.  Hank loves babies!  The look on his face was so sweet when he was holding Will. 







Michael, Zac and the boys spent a lot of time playing outside, while the girls sat inside with the baby. Around 3:00 I noticed that Will still didn't have wet diaper.  I had noticed the night before and decided to keep an eye on it.  I felt pretty sure he wasn't getting enough to eat so Emily and I went to Food Lion to get some formula.  When we gave it Will he sucked it down ferociously.  It was at that point we were sure my milk had not come in and that I was starving the poor child.  Sure enough, a little bit later he had a wet diaper.  We continued to supplement with formula the rest of the night.






At 4:00 Papa arrived - he came to meet Will and to eat supper with us.  Emily made supper for us too! At supper that night Sam volunteered to pray.  We all bowed our heads and Sam started singing "God our Father" or as Sam says it "Fadder."  

After supper Will had his first bath.  We bathed him in the farmhouse sink in the mud room.  He liked laying in the warm water, but go really mad when we started washing.  He also pooped in his bathwater for good measure.  Nana took pictures and Papa filmed the whole thing.









Next we sat upstairs and watched Finn and Sam do wrestling moves.  Sam was hilarious. 

Around 9:00 Papa went home and we all got ready for bed.  Mom and I sat up and talked for a while. I ended up going to bed around midnight.  Once again Will and I slept on the air mattress.  It was such a fun day!

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.
