This boy and his affection for pretzels. Anytime we are at a baseball game, the zoo, zoombeezi, a festival – he can spot the pretzel vendor within a flash. And the instant he gets one in his hands this is his expression. It’s the little things.
Work continues to be busy for me, but with Mother’s Day now past us it will begin to slow down. Friday night I was home early enough that we were able to spend some time out in the driveway during daylight (albeit at around 8 pm!) for the scooter riding (Joe), chalk-drawing, Lily-cuddling time. Kevin sketched quite the scene of Finn walking Lily through the woods. Lily likes to be around us pretty much all of the time. She’s pretty good about sticking near us, but if she sees another dog she still tends to race to greet them :|.
Mom and Dad also came down during the week this week to pickup some soil at Millcreek. They brought me a super yummy salad for lunch! We loaded up 7 or 8 trash cans full of soil and then used the bobcat to load the ends of the bag into the back of the truck. Felt good to use my muscles again and get out of my office chair 🙂I have a ton of photos like this on my phone. Griffin just loves laying next to Lils (pronounced “yils”). Lily, not always so much, but she puts up with it. She often turns her head and faces the wall underneath the white bed in Finn’s room. But on this night they were making faces at each other.
The zoo was a fun spot this week as well as making some artwork at home. check out Finn’s x-ray of his arm and his community helpers artwork. I love that Debbie writes down what Finn thinks each of the helpers do – pretty cute.
On Saturday, I was actually able to get out of work after only a half day! So Finn and I met up with the Bethune’s for some afternoon fun at COSI, followed by my first trip to Fox in the Snow Cafe. Although we arrived pretty close to closing, it was delish!
And on Sunday, we had family in town as Brett, Missy, Sebastian and Alexis visited us on a very cool spring day. We adventured downtown to the Clippers Baseball Game. It was a family fun day – so at the end of the game the kids and families get to run the bases. The last time Finn did it he was about 4 or 5 months old and Kevin ran with him, swooping him down to touch each base. Alexis and Sebastian ran with him, and Kevin followed behind filming a video. Brett sent me the video below – which includes Kevin filming the video :). It was a fun afternoon followed by a cookout at our house afterwards.
