Finn's hands

Finn wore jeans for the first time today.








Bouncing: AKA the only thing that distracts Finn from eating

Super sleepy


Finn is quickly learning how to use his hands. He is constantly moving them. He touches everything he sees. When I am feeding him he sticks his fingers in my eyes, my nose, and my mouth. He gets a big kick out of shoving his fingers in my mouth. When I remove them he will start swinging his arms back and forth - which kind of hurts when those little arms hit your face. When I put him in his gym he reaches to play with his toys and he also reaches and tugs on my shirt and hair. He is developing so fast.

Today was a terrible day at work - I cried all the way home. I was so happy to see and hold Finn. Finn was at John and Victoria's today and I thought I had pulled myself together before walking in the door. But, alas I was wrong - the minute I held him I started to cry. When we got home the three of us played and then we read Gossie and Gertie. Finn looked at the pictures for a little bit when we first started, but after a few pages he stopped looking at the book and only looked at me. Finn was pretty tired to tonight and he was sleeping hard by 8:00. I held him until 8:45 and then I put him to bed. I am exhausted so I am about to go to bed too.

Happy Birthday Gran

Gran's Birthday was Sunday so we decided to celebrate with a family lunch at our house.  I made lasagna, kale salad and a strawberry cake with homemade icing. We came home immediately after Sunday School on Sunday and started preparing. Sam, licking icing off of the beater. Unfortunately, these are the only pictures I have.  Once everyone arrived I got busy serving and just never picked up my camera.   I think that everyone had a good time.  Finn and Sam made personalized cards for Gran and James, Chelsea and Cade got Gran a cold brew coffee maker. Pa gave Gran a new computer tower. (Pa could not be at the party - but was there in spirit). It was a nice, relaxing dinner.  The boys ate at the bar, while the adults and Will sat at the table.  Will enjoyed the lasagna and the cake (of course). After lunch the boys went upstairs while the girls sat in the den at chatted.

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...

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...
