This week we got our hands dirty as we planted our yearly crop of seeds that we will transplant later outside in our patio garden. We also planted Finn’s Root Vue Farm (from grandma and grandpa Beilstein) this week too. Finn went back and forth between loving the messiness (“mom, it’s fun to get dirty sometimes”) to not being a big fan (insert whining and fussiness to get his hands cleaned off). I got everything all prepped while Finn was taking a nap and after he woke up and made it through his cuddle time (he’s been big into cuddling when he first wakes up, he just wants to be held) we started our project. He wasn’t as interested in it this year as after about 15 minutes he just wanted to go play! But, in the end we had 4 trays of seeds including quite the variety of veggies (cucumber, zucchini, tomato, pepper, butternut squash), herbs (green onion, cilantro, basil seedlings), and fruits (watermelon, cantaloupe), flowers and ornamentals (cosmos, zinnia, snapdragon, pumpkins, mini pumpkins). Our counters have been overtaken by seedling trays!
This week Finn also ventured to the pet store with Debbie and Sam. He loves animals, check out his grins! And of course one pic with his Lily girl and blue dog blanket. It’s become part of the routine that he cuddles with Lily at bedtime while we sing songs. And the blue blanket – he doesn’t like to sleep without it, and the soft, blue side always has to be the side that is against him :).

Finn has been giving Lily lots of snuggles and cuddles lately. He loves her so, and actually every night part of the routine is to give Lily a hug and a kiss. Lately he’s been asking her to wag her tail before he’ll give her a hug and a kiss. And he asks Kevin and I to raise our hands, “Who wants a hug and kiss?”. Silly boy.
One evening this week Finn wanted to snuggle and while he was sitting in my lap he said “put me in your shirt”. It was rather funny, actually, but sure enough he ended up inside my black t-shirt and we walked around a bit. It totally reminded me of when I had him in the hospital, nearly 3 years ago, and I snuggled him inside my black shirt as a tiny newborn. This sweet boy is growing up far too quickly! 
Daddy is spoiling us with all of these pancakes lately. Check out his latest creation! I did add the finishing touches of the face!
Kevin’s car was in need of some TLC in the form of many repairs, most of which we had a shop perform. His Dad was kind enough to come up on a Sunday afternoon to work with Kevin to put new front brakes and struts on his Jeep. It went well for the most part, other than a broken bolt on the right side, so they weren’t able to install the right strut just yet. But the brakes are in on the front. Shew, that was a lot work! Papa brought a lot of his tools and when I took him out to the garage to show him what they were doing he said “what’s that mess?”. Silly boy. 
I’ve been enjoying Avacados for quite awhile it seems. My quick go-to is Avacado Toast. Sometimes I fancy it up with salt and pepper. My sweet hubby packed me some bread slices in my lunch bag one day and when I got them out to toast them at work he’d left me a sweet note! <3. My other new thing is peanut butter toast with banana coins. One evening I’d made myself two slices for dinner, and before I knew it, Finn asked for a piece – and he ate the entire thing! 
Finn has been enjoying lots of art projects, adventures, and outdoor time when the weather is nice lately. We sure are blessed that he is in such loving hands with Debbie!
And this particular photo Debbie put in our app that we use to communicate. Griffin was holding the dogs blue ball and Debbie took a photo of Finn riding on his airplane in his room. She put a little caption that read “The sweetest game, Finn says ‘I’m flying to heaven to bring Cammie her ball to play with'”. He has the most loving heart.
