photoFinn had some fun with his feet making these painted shapes.  He’s really mastered his shapes and can name each of these when you hold them up!IMG_20150802_185931563_HDRHe made a super cool rocket ship at COSI and we went to a kids Lollipop concert in Powell on a really nice morning. photo(3)IMG_20150803_101529973_HDR

Finn was also really happy that his buddy Sammy was back starting this week! They had some fun adventures, including one downtown to the Fountains and the Fountainside kids event complete with a picnic lunch. photo(1) photo(4) photo(5) photo(2)And now…..we’re off on vacation, yay!

photoBig Machines was a hit with Finn! Debbie took him down to COSI this week and they had their Big Machines exhibit going on where the kids can actually get up in the machines and play with them. He really loved it and he brought home his construction “hard” hat too. He also played in the painting/arts area inside and with some small diggers too.  I love seeing the updates on what adventures Finn goes on during the day via the photos Debbie puts in our app 🙂photo(4) photo(3) photo(2)

We went to our first Clipper’s game of the season to celebrate Father’s Day. It was a beautiful evening. And it was Dime-a-Dog Night too – a great combination. Finn ate two hot dogs amongst other things. We had lovely seats and we really had a nice time.

Finn continues to love his swim lessons. He gets so excited to get in the water. He’s doing really well with kicking and reaching for things and climbing out of the water.  There are resident fish and water turtles in a couple of tanks outside of the pool area and every week Finn likes to go and check them out 🙂IMG_20150627_103754364 IMG_20150627_111747503

We’ve spent a lot of time together with our family and friends over the last couple of weeks. Finn loves being able to see his Grandma’s and Grandpa’s, aunts, uncles, and cousins. He gets so excited when people come to our house to “play”. We’re thankful for having family close-by. Finn loves the attention and affection from everyone, including Grandma Armstrong as you can see here! IMG_20150622_103209296_HDR

After Nathan’s Memorial Service on Sunday we had family and friends over to our house to spend time together and have some lunch. At the end of the day we decided to venture to Graeter’s for a sweet treat. We all ended up on the patio and the boys enjoying trying to get the water fountain working!IMG_20150628_200546387_HDR IMG_20150628_200621329 IMG_20150628_202031556 We actually made it to Graeter’s twice this week. Here is Finn enjoying a taste of my chocolate-dipped waffle cone filled with black raspberry chip. It’s my new favorite treat. IMG_20150624_201819842

DSC_0037It was really nice to have a long weekend! We began our Monday by making our 3rd annual trip to the Powell Memorial Day Parade. This year we got a nice spot on North Liberty Street. We took our wagon and chairs and had nice seats. Griffin got plenty of candy too – I think every person that walked by threw a handful at him!  He’s very cautious when going into the street to get the candy too.  And at the end the policeman got out of his cruiser and photo bombed us! Later that afternoon we spent some time in the backyard. Finn was feeling pretty adventurous climbing up the ropes of the hammock along with running to see Lily. DSC_0007 DSC_0018 DSC_0019 DSC_0010 DSC_0021 DSC_0025 DSC_0028 DSC_0032 DSC_0040 DSC_0039 DSC_0042 DSC_0043 DSC_0044

Always wanting to do what daddy is doing….DSC_0047 IMG_20150525_182650682 IMG_20150525_182811775 IMG_20150525_182936171_HDR IMG_20150525_184234904_HDR IMG_20150525_184830395 IMG_20150525_184932805_HDR IMG_20150525_185023473

We had a peacock in our yard this week!  Finn and I ran inside to get my phone so we could snap some photos. We were within 8 feet of our bright blue friend.

Grandma watched Finn on Friday, and as you can see, they had lots of fun. She brought him Krispy Kreme do do’s for breakfast. He was so happy and goofy at 7:30 in the morning!FullSizeRenderSaturday morning daddy brought Finn breakfast in our room. None other than some dodo’s that grandma had brought the day before! He was in heaven. And he didn’t want to have his jammies on either – when I went in to get him he was half undressed and kept saying he didn’t want to wear his jammies, he wanted to be “nu nu”. IMG_20150530_075719468

Here is Finn taking a selfie on Saturday morning 🙂IMG_20150530_101533589 And here he is getting some good exercise with Lily. The dogs haven’t had their “blue ball” in quite awhile!IMG_20150530_102253129

Saturday we spent the afternoon on a last minute trip to COSI, having fun with Graham, Rowan, and Greta. IMG_20150530_140917404

Monday is the go-live date so all weekend long the transition is occurring which means he is frequently on the phone getting updates and dealing with whatever may come up.  Here Finn and Rowie are sitting together and behind them is the building Kevin’s project is based out of (the tall one in the center!). Kind of cool!
IMG_20150530_161235264_HDRDaddy was able to meet us for dinner at the Spaghetti Warehouse, and by the time we had just left the parking lot – Finn was asleep!  He hardly ever sleeps in the car! And he went to bed at 7 pm – super early, but he hadn’t had a nap today. It was a full day!IMG_20150530_183521146_HDR
