It’s been a low-key week around here. My work schedule is picking up some as I have a lot of projects that we are trying to get wrapped up before the spring craze sets in. It’s hard to believe it is that time of year, but it has almost arrived. It is nice to walk around at work and see all of the newly potted production and we have begun to ship on a small scale mostly to the south. Finn and Sam have fun with each other, one usually wanting what the other has. Here they are going back and forth with Sam’s Elmo!   On Friday and Saturday I attended the women’s retreat put on through our church. It was a nice event, and a lot of the content continues to resonate with me. It was my first overnight away from Finn since he has arrived! I did ok though, and he was totally fine without me (ha! no surprise there!). Kevin’s parents came up to hang out for a bit Friday evening and stayed the night. Grandma and Grandpa brought the fun tunnel that you see Finn crawling through (and daddy playing in) in these photos. They had some fun play time with him and it worked out great that Kevin was able to take Cameron and Lily to the Vet for their yearly appointments Saturday morning while they watched Finn. We’re a bit concerned about all of the growths (lipomas) on Cameron, though she has always had some and as she ages they said it is common for her to have more of them. However, her lymph nodes were slightly enlarged so we are having that looked in to. She’s had a hard time with the stairs and getting up on the couch and we’ve learned she has arthritis pretty good in three of her four legs, so she is going to begin taking Rimadyl which was the medication Hailey had taken for a long time. This aging is no fun!

Finn had a slight fever Saturday evening. Seems as though he is getting another tooth, his lower left, and so far fever seems to be a good indicator that it’s teething time. That makes 7! Enjoy your week – it’s party prep time for us, we almost have a 1-year old on our hands!
