The "Finnster, et al."

Tonight I took Will to see the “Lion King.”  It was just the two of us as Michael and the boys are away. I was really looking forward to this evening. I have never taken Will to a movie and I anticipated having some wonderful mother/son time together. We arrived at the theater at 5:00 for the 5:15 showing. I bought popcorn and we took our seats. Will was excited to sit on his big seat and eat popcorn. As always, Will did not want his picture taken.  Will did okay. He talked a lot - nothing that made any sense whatsoever- mostly just loud noises. He walked up and down the aisles and he rummaged loudly through my purse. He did get scared at one point and sat sweetly on my lap for about twenty minutes. We ended up leaving with about 25 minutes left in the movie. Will was restless and was trying to run up the theater stairs. I was actually surprised that he made it that long (the movie was a bit underwhelming). Anyway, as we were leaving I stopped into the restroom to take Will to the pott

Last weekend, I met up with a few friends from Sunday School for dinner and dessert.  We started in the Gulch.  Then we had dinner at Butchertown Hall.  We ended the evening with Jeni's ice cream. That same weekend, Michael and I took Amanda and Eric to see Fiddler on the Roof at TPAC.

On June 22, 2019, we celebrated Will's third birthday on his actual birthday.  It was a small party - all family, but Will had a great time.  He and his "best friend" Henry (Will's words, not mine) started the party in costume. The other party goers played with the dinosaur toys upstairs. As most of my parties tend to be, this party was a breakfast party.  We had donuts, sausage balls and ice cream cake. Will really enjoyed his presents. This was the first birthday where he realized that he was the center of attention and all of the presents were his. It is hard to believe that he is already three.  I still think of him as a baby.  Even though he can be so stubborn, I enjoy him so much.  He is just precious. But, if you call him precious he will say, "I'm not precious, I'm William Rex." It was a fun party, but the real fun started when we all attempted to get Meg out of the tree.  On morning before
