I took a day off this week to join my parents at Amy’s house along with all of the kids to make marshmallows!  We had three mixers all running simultaneously as we whipped up three batches of pure white marshmallows. All of the kiddos enjoyed pouncing on Grandpa for a good portion of the day, especially Finn.  He actually bounced right off the couch at the end of the afternoon and bonked his head pretty good on the wall, but he hardly cried and seemed ok.  Only to follow shortly thereafter with another bonk as he fell off Rody, the horse. It was definitely time to head home for a nap!

We had a fun and adventurous weekend beginning on Friday when we headed for a brief trip to Enon to go to Kevin’s high school, Greenon,  for a hall-of-fame induction ceremony for one of his high school class mates. The ceremony was in between the JV and Varsity boys basketball games and luckily we made it with about 15 minutes to spare before the ceremony! We even had a few minutes to walk the halls and find Kevin’s soccer team photo! There was a reception prior to the start of the varsity game, which Kevin attended while Finn and I explored the high school and watched a bit of the basketball game and cheerleaders. He was pretty mesmerized with all of the action, including the band. It was pretty loud! We were able to join Kevin at the end of the reception for a quick bite to eat before heading to Uncle Brett and Aunt Missy’s, where Grandma and Grandpa played with Griffin and the four of us headed out to meet up with Kevin’s classmates.  His high school class didn’t have a reunion last year, so this was a quickly put together gathering, but in the end there were about 15 or so who made it. I enjoyed getting to meet several of Kevin’s classmates, some of whom I’ve met before and others I hadn’t. It was a late night and an early morning, as Finn got up at about 7:40 as he stood up in his crib and said “pa pa”!  Saturday morning we enjoyed a tasty breakfast at Cracker Barrel with Grandma and Grandpa too and we then headed to Schuler’s Baker on the way out of town for some tasty take-home donuts for Sunday morning.  Yum.  And here are a few other shots from the week.  Debbie, Sam, and Finn made a baby snow man, Finn plays IN Lily and Cam’s toy bucket, Finn working extra hard under the tool bench, and he and I catching some cuddles 🙂
