7/5/2011 - Going his own speed

From Drop Box

A few months ago, a generous coworker of mine gave us her son's old bike with training wheels for Finny. Finny has enjoyed being pushed on it, but has not caught on to actually peddling. Tonight, Finn's best friend Dylan mastered the bike and by the end of the night was speeding around our carport. Finn, the sometimes competitive one, decided that the bike was not for him ... at least not yet. He's perfectly happy to speed along on Dylan's four wheeler. And we are all just fine with that. Go your own speed Finn. No need to grow up too fast.

Liam is getting bigger and gaining new skills everyday. He gives us smiles and snuggles galore. Truly enjoying seeing our littlest one grow up.

From Drop Box

We are fully taking advantage of our great weather during our 3 day weekend. Finn played in the blowup pool for about an hour and Liam enjoyed the warmth from the shade of our carport. I wish the weekends could last longer.

From Drop Box

Jesse took the bike trailer that he got for father's day for a spin today with Finny. Though at first Finn looked a little nervous, I think that he really enjoyed it. Jesse took him on a rather long ride from our house to Stacy's in Berkeley and Finn enjoyed his snack of gummy bears and water while enjoying the scenery. After we got home from Stacy's we hung out with the neighbors. That part of the day is a story all it's own.

7/1/2011 - Yogurt Love

Delicious start to the beginning of our holiday weekend. Jesse and I both got off work a little early today and headed to pick up the kids together. We got an early dinner on the patio at Jupiter. Eating outdoors always makes food taste better. Then we headed to Yogurtland for Frozen Yogurt. The entire walk over to Yogurtland Finn insisted on holding Liam. After his dessert, Finny got to hold his bro with his sticky lovely hands. Yogurt and love!!

Finn is becoming such a guys guy. He likes to flex his muscles to impress me. They are the cutest muscles that I have ever seen. (Don't tell Finn that I said that!!)

From Drop Box

Gone are the days when he smiles on request. Now I experience the joy of capturing a moving target trying to put the cover on the camera lens. At least I still have one more kid that smiles pretty much on command for at least 2 years.
