Making up for Lost Time...

So I haven't been very good about posting lately.....it's been 2 months! The holidays got in the way and then.....well, who knows. But I'm updating it now!

Lots has gone on since December! Here are just a few snapshots of our adventures...

Wearing Daddy's shirt and typing on the computer

Major post-nap bed-head! At least he finally has enough hair for it to be messy!

Play date with Finn's friend Ali. Here he was completely ignoring her efforts to give him a hug because he was too busy playing. He'll be kicking himself for this someday!

Already doing housework. He even asked to do the dishes again the next night! :)

Running back and forth across an awesome strip of bubble wrap we got in the mail (more in the video below)!

And last but not least, a few fun videos:

A Finn and Daddy Light Saber fight!

More Bubble Wrap fun!

Playing with his friend Ali (after he decided to pay attention to her again!)

That's all for now! Hopefully it won't take another 2 months to post more pictures! :)

Let it Snow!

Finn got to experience his first big blizzard yesterday (I think we got something like 16 inches!). Mommy and Daddy even got a snow day so we could stay home and enjoy it with him!

Assessing the situation.

A view from our front window. Notice the downed tree across the street. (Don't worry, the cars and house were spared.)

A very snow-covered swing set.

Sitting in the snow.

"This stuff is pretty cool!"

Hope all of you Wisconsinites had a safe and warm Wednesday! :)

Happy Halloween!

Finn had a ton of fun getting dressed up in his Halloween costume, although he wasn't quite sure on the Trick-or-Treating thing yet. Too many crazy people in crazy costumes! Here are a few fun pictures from our night:


Smiley Yoda! (Note--I don't think Yoda ever smiled like this in the movies.)

Our attempt at getting a nice Yoda/Jedi Knight picture...

Daddy as "Obi Wayne Kenobi"

Cool lightsaber action shot!

Little Yoda and Mommy (aka Princess Leia)

Last but not least, a little Halloween video for you all. Sorry that it starts out sideways. :)

Piles and piles of leaves!

Finn got to play in his first-ever leaf pile this fall. He had a blast!

Throwing leaves.

Hamming it up for the camera.

Helping Daddy rake.

Taking a rest after all that hard work! :)

Is it Really Fall Already???

This past weekend we made our second annual trip to the pumpkin patch with Finn's friend Ali. The weather was a little cold but the kids were troopers. And I'm happy to report that there was no dirt eating this year, just gravel-picking-up.

Finn and Ali on top of a big cow!

Mommy wasn't fast enough to get the picture of Finn riding the tractor, so we have Finn's "grumpy-faced getting-off-the tractor" pic instead.

Checking out the "puh kins" with Daddy.

Making friends with a farm kitty.

Scary skeleton eye peek-through! (This went significantly better than last year's bus picture---see below:)

Sitting on a pumpkin.

Our attempt at getting a cute picture of the kids with a pumpkin. This was pretty comparable to last year's picture--see below:

With Mommy and Daddy on a hayride.

Checking out the cool pumpkin "choo choo"!

End of summer fun!

Peeking out from his playhouse!

What a look! :)

Playing with Grandma Bette's kitty during our vacation to Manitowoc/Green Bay in August.

The after-effects of Hurricane Finn.

First time eating sweet corn.

Like father, like son.

Walking! ....and other fun stuff....

Finn is walking!!! Well, he actually has been for a couple of weeks now, but it just took me a while to post the video online. Most of you have already seen him in action by now anyway.

A few sandbox pictures.....Finn loves playing in the dirt!

And last but not least, here is a little video of our crazy little boy playing with a balloon....at bedtime....
