After returning from Canada we had a really calm week, as in we just hung around the house and had low-key evenings.  The highlight of the week was on Sunday when I met up with several of my girlfriends from my college days at OU. We (and most of the kiddos, though not Chase) met at COSI for an afternoon of fun! I haven’t ever been to COSI (at least since I was a little kid) and I thought it was great. I actually wish we’d gotten a membership earlier in the winter so we could have headed there with Finn on the cold harsh days of winter. We will definitely be heading back as we probably only explored 1/4 of what there is to do there, if that. We had fun in the kiddie play area, the water zone where Finn and I sat inside a submarine, and several attempts at pulling up a bowling ball using a rope that when the ball fell it launched a tennis ball as high as the top of the ceiling. The kids thought it was great. And while none of us adults had much time to chat as we were all chasing our kids around it was lovely to see everyone if only for a short while!IMG_20150308_111910898 IMG_20150308_114044705 IMG_20150308_114052162 IMG_20150308_120018962 IMG_20150308_120124347 IMG_20150308_120241955_HDR IMG_20150308_122558251 IMG_20150308_130730451 IMG_20150308_132132281 IMG_20150308_133102965 IMG_20150308_133257624 IMG_20150308_133430678 IMG_20150308_133517147 IMG_20150308_133706203 IMG_20150308_151349 IMG_20150308_151303

Friday evening and most of Saturday I was at our Women’s retreat for church. Finn and daddy had a fun guys night in which included a pizza party! Check out Finn and his stringy cheese.

IMG_20130403_181754_419On Saturday we took a nice family stroller walk through the neighborhood. Finn was a bit fussy for part of it, but I enjoyed being able to get out and walk around outside of the house – he really is in the stroller in the pic below :). We did other fun things – like drove to Culver’s to get dinner (the drive thru!) and then watched the OSU basketball game. Finn has been fussy during the 9 pm – midnight stretch for the past several nights. But once night falls he is a sleepy guy and sleeps well during the night. IMG_20130401_170116_145

Easter Sunday was Finn’s first trip to church. He slept through the entire service. Several people came over to admire him and remarked at how cute he was and how much hair he has. He was adored by many. We headed to Enon after church for the Armstrong Easter gathering. We enjoyed a nice lunch with Kevin’s extended family on the Armstrong side. It was Finn’s first road trip and he did really well.  Slept the entire time and woke up once we arrived. Just in time for me to feed him and then pass him around for everyone to hold!  On our way home we stopped at my sister’s house in Dublin for the Beilstein Easter dinner. Today was Amy’s due date – so the whole family was trying to think of ways to get her to go into labor, but none of them worked!DSC_0457 DSCF2073 fuji camera 005 fuji camera 017 fuji camera 018 fuji camera 020 fuji camera 028

I’ve been pretty spoiled lately – getting breakfast in bed made by my loving hubby. Talk about gourmet oatmeal!IMG_20130402_073757_818

I made my first solo trip out of the house with Finn. I was itching to get out of the house so I headed over to Amy’s house for a little visit on Thursday. He was really fussy prior to leaving our house. I was worried I wouldn’t ever be able to leave since when I put him in the car seat he piped right up with loud crying! He had been fussy for a couple of hours in the afternoon, but I finally put him in the car and got on the road and he fell asleep!  Yay. So we visited at Amy’s for awhile and then made a quick pit stop on the way home, my first time taking Finn into a store by myself. He didn’t make a peep, it was a quick in and out at Drug Mart.  Success!-IMG952660

Friday we had a couple of visitors – Connie first, followed by Sarah, Audrey, and Samantha. Finn was sleepy and sweet for all of it. He slept almost the entire time. Then Kevin came home early from work and we spent a nice Friday afternoon together.DSC_0459 DSC_0458 IMG_20130404_090929_944

Saturday we headed out to dinner at Old Bag of Nails in Powell and watched the Buckeyes play. Once again, Finn slept through everything. We figure it won’t always be this easy so we might as well take advantage of it now!IMG_20130406_201132_129And here are a few more shots from the week! Finn gets in plenty of cuddles and is making some fun faces. And Lily and Cameron got in on some cuddles too!IMG_20130405_194045_847 IMG_20130403_080903_661 IMG_20130403_080858_692 IMG_20130402_161949_133 IMG_20130402_101325_313 IMG_20130402_101558_988 IMG_20130401_184557_194 IMG_20130401_101007_392fuji camera 003
