Another week down – and a busy one at that! Seems as though amid all of the busy days we didn’t take too many photos this week. And looking back through all of them it was such a tiring week that many of the shots are of a sleeping baby!
My sister took some great family photos for us while on vacation in Ocean Isle back in August. She came up with the idea to do a nice grouping of canvas prints and she sent us a sample of what she thought might look neat. We both thought it looked awesome, so we ordered the canvas prints and Kevin hung them this week in the front living room. 
Kevin has been working crazy hours (like through the night) getting home in the wee hours of the morning, around 3 or 4 am! Or he will come home late in the evening only to go back in to work through the night. October 1 is rapidly approaching and he has a lot on his plate before that day arrives!
On Wednesday Kevin was working late, and the timing worked out that I was able to meet my parents for a brief dinner while they were on their return trip home from vacation with their friends.
Our sitter, Tricia, came down with strep this week so I stayed home on Thursday and thankfully, Kevin’s parents were able to come stay with us Thursday evening. They played with Finn throughout the day on Friday. He was a happy baby and got in lots of good play time with Grandma and Grandpa. He even took about a 4 hour afternoon nap for them – yay Finn! We use an app on our phones that logs naps, diapers, and feedings. Since they didn’t have the app they texted me periodic updates throughout the day Friday. Of course he was in good hands, but I still love to be able to know how well he sleeps and such while I’m gone.
They were both a tremendous help, as we had volunteered to host our small group that night for our gathering – which included dinner! So while Kevin and I were at work they graciously started the dinner we had planned. Such awesome help. 
We got the carpet in the entire house cleaned on Saturday (everything other than Finn’s room which is brand new). It had been awhile, and I had forgotten how much work it is to get the place clutter free (the carpets anyhow!) in order to get the carpets cleaned. That was a large undertaking and the house is still stockpiled with stuff on all the hard-surface floors as well as barricades to keep the dogs off the damp carpet. But it is quite nice to have clean carpet despite the disorganization!!
I got some early morning Saturday cuddles with Finn before he went down for his 3 hour nap. Worked out great – I was able to get the house in order for the carpet cleaners to arrive and then he slept the entire time they were here, waking up just as they were leaving.
Saturday afternoon once Kevin got home from work we headed to the Ackerman’s for the OSU game. It was pretty much a blow out, which allowed Finn to get in some good play time with the Howard’s and Ackerman’s and then he and daddy got in brief naps….yes Kevin slept on the floor!
