Swimming with Papa

Missed Me

We arrived home the other day and Finn gleefully trotted into his play room and said, "Hello, toys!"  The he announced, "They missed me.  My toys missed me!"  We'd only been gone a few hours.  I can't imagine how his toys will be feeling when he gets back from  his week and a half long vacation at Grandma and Grampa's house.

Finn and Grace

We had a fun-filled weekend in St. Louis thanks to Michelle, Paul, and Grace.  Click here to see more pictures.

Fireworks a "little scary"

Finn's first fireworks with the family at Valley Lo were, in his words, a "little scary."  But, he was a trooper, despite being up way past his bedtime (to say nothing of being worn down by the Harlan clan), and had a good strategy for coping with the loud pops and cracks.  His palms didn't leave his ears until the finale completely dissipated.

He gleefully added at the end:  "the fireworks are over, Grandma."

Finn's First Movie Theater Movie: Cars 2

After a long build-up and despite bad reviews, Finn was thrilled to see his first movie in the movie theater!  Of course Finn McMissile is his new favorite character.
