Brothers

There was a time when I was pregnant that I was disappointed in myself for waiting so long to have another child.  Finn and Sam are so close - I believe because they are close in age. I felt like I cheated Will out of having a close bond with his brothers.  Well, this may still be the case, but I have found joy in watching Finn and Sam interact with Will.  When Sam was born Finn was two years and four months old and was too little to be very interested in Sam.  This time, with Finn being six (almost seven) and Sam at 4 and half, they are very interested in their new brother.  It is so nice to see how they interact with him.  Yesterday at church, after picking the boys up from Sunday School, neither boy would even consider walking to the car until they had each had an opportunity to hug and kiss Will.  The funny thing about this is that we didn't pick them up at the same time.  We picked Sam up first and then went upstairs to get Finn.  Regardless, they both wanted to spent a moment to say hello to Will. 



 


 


 

Here we have Sam attempting to feed Will.  Yes, you are seeing this correctly - he is attempting to breastfeed.

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!
