That’s us – enjoying the 2014 Food Truck Festival on Friday night downtown at Columbus Commons. After a rather blah week, to say the least, we enjoyed some tasty treats including Bacon and Cheese Fries (you can sort of see here), chicken quesadillas, chicken gyro, and a few flavors of cupcakes.  The lines were long, but the weather was nice and there was live music too, so luckily that kept Finn’s attention while he spent some time in his stroller!  Oh, and this was our first attempt at the selfie – Finn and his silly squinty look 🙂

Finn really loves donuts.  Tim Horton’s Timbits to be exact.  Any flavor, really. And perhaps more so, he loves to say “doe doe’s” when you ask him what he’d like for breakfast, or if he is hungry! Here are a couple videos of him for fun. He certainly knows when the camera is rolling…


Saturday night Finn and I enjoyed dinner with Amy, Andy, and the kiddos while Kevin was at the Crew game.  I asked Finn if he wanted to go play with his cousins and he just kept saying “Roro” for quite awhile!  They exuded plenty of energy dancing and climbing into all sorts of things. Oh, and the boys enjoyed showing me their new backpacks for school.  We spent a short while at the zoo on Sunday. It was nice to get out and about and enjoy the outdoors, though it certainly was a bit humid! Finn and Kevin got right up close to the lions this time. The bottom photo is Finn wearing walking around his room in his diaper, or “nu nu”. He thinks it’s fun to run away when it’s time to put his pj’s on!And I had the pleasure of taking time to smell a beautiful arrangement of flowers throughout the week this week. So thankful for Debbie and the way she cares of our family! They still look this beautiful 🙂 The kitchen project started off with a bang this week and ended with a big “woh woh”. It was a frustrating week for sure. The counter installation began Tuesday. They were able to install the bathroom sink/counter, family room bar sink/counter, laundry room sink/counter and place all of the kitchen counters. If only it ended there! Unfortunately, two seems in the kitchen (one along the wall, another in the island) didn’t match very well color-wise. So after some back and forth the guys returned Friday to finish the project, however, the new pieces matched even less.  Ugh.  They ended up taking all the counters back to their shop and are getting things setup for us to see on Monday. I’m not sure how this will all work out – like is the lighting good where we view it (it’s obviously different than our house!) and so many other questions.  We’ll see how it goes.  They did install the dog bowl area and it looks great.  And on another front, our appliances had been ordered for 3 1/2 weeks and Lowe’s was still not able to tell us when they would arrive!  So, we ended up cancelling our order on Thursday, and the appliances of course arrived on Friday to the store.  So, now we will have to “re-buy” them.  It was a long week of frustrating progress.  On a happier note, the office flooring is now finished! And I was able to clean up the office and organize the counters (some of them for now).  I also organized the pantry with the foodstuffs that we currently have.  So things are slowing coming together 🙂  Below are some teasers of what the counters will hopefully look like soon!
