Another good one


From the photo session last week... This was obviously toward the end of the hour. You may see it on our holiday card!

photo session


We had our family photos taken last week and the photographer, Alexis, just put a sneak peek up on Facebook so I wanted to share it with you all. I'm so happy to have this photo of myself with our little cuddlebug!

Drum Set

One of my friends brought this over yesterday. I see a garage band in our future. Finn is also quite talented so we'll have to give him equal billing in a future post.

Here she is singing "Simple Song" by the Shins. (The best part is the end: "I think I've got it!')

Latest Creation

F&T spent Columbus Day at their grandparents' house as we had to work. I'm pretty sure that means we all won.

From Papa:
"Finn made a trip with me to see how Rob Bennett was doing in digging ditch for his power to new shop (almost done).  On the way home he wanted to stop at the Kinney’s and say hello (I think he has a scam figured out in that regard).  Sure enough Jim offered him chocolate chip cookies even though Colleen was not home.  He had 3, said thank you and was well behaved. Once we got to the shop Finn started his usual.  I gave him the remnants of a motor out of the washer – tried to explain to him how a motor works, in simple terms, with a magnet, wire, etc.  Told him when he gets a little bigger we will make a ‘motor’ out of some wire and nails and use a battery to make it go.  He was working away while I was cutting parts for the scraper we are making.  Next thing I know he is showing me the ‘motor’ he built – includes a spring because it works better that way according to Finn.  He is getting creative, that’s for sure."

Golfing


Finn had a private golf lesson this week as group lessons don't start until January. Our weather has been so perfect this week that we are taking full advantage (although at the time if writing they are both zoning out to Peppa Pig). He had a great time sinking putts and riding in the golf cart. 

One of these days Finn will teach us how to golf, too!
