Hannah, Travis and Tristan start school!

Kindergarten, watch out! With these three all in the same class, the year is sure to be an adventure!

Finn's two month check up

Now that we have recovered from the shots, here are the stats:

Height: 23 1/2 inches - 75th percentile
Weight: 12lb, 15 oz - 75-90th percentile
Head: 15 3/4 - 50th percentile

So he is 2 inches taller, 2 pounds heavier and has a smaller head than Annie did at the same age!

Weekends

Looks like a bed full of fun is how we will start each weekend morning for a while. Not a bad way to start the day.

Saturday morning at Lucky Ladd Farm

We had a great time visiting a farm this weekend. Annie loved feeding the animals until an unfortunate event with the goats swarming her caused us to move on to the playground area. She terrified me by sliding by herself down long steep slides, including one where you sit on a burlap sack, but she had a blast. The one in the video wasn't even the scary one. At the end of the video, you can almost make out where she says, "That's crazy!"

The horse video is underwhelming, but I thought the family might want to see it.  The crazy sounds in the background are peacocks.

"Pea-nups"

This photo was taken about 2 minutes before Annie declared, "Look! Finn has a little peanup and Daddy has a big peanup!"

I can't stop laughing!

Finn is one month old!

Bye-bye newborn clothes, hello smiles (see last photo)!

Finn's newborn photo shoot

Courtesy of Ilde with Memorysnap.net, we have some very cute photos of Finn and the rest of our family that were taken when Finn was five days old. These are a smattering of my favorites. I really hope to be able to write a real blog post soon, but for now photos will have to suffice. The shoot was absolute chaos - Annie was absolutely beside herself, either goofing off or wailing; I spent five minutes crying outside only 10 minutes before the photographer arrived; and we couldn't do any photos outside, though I can't remember if it was raining or too hot. :) In any event, we have some real keepers here.

I love this one where Toby was trying to get Annie to warm up to the photographer.  If you can open this one a bit bigger, it really shows that special daddy-daughter bond.

Finn had been wailing (along with Annie, and probably me) only a few minutes before the photographer arrived, so I though it was a miracle that she was able to get these sleeping baby shots.  I had no hope of getting these - Ilde is a baby whisperer, for sure.

 I think this one below is my absolute favorite. 

Screaming baby, poking toddler - chaos!

Cheesy smiles from Annie and me, but at least Toby looks super handsome!

Love this one!

And the one that made all the women in the room weepy - Toby is such a sweet daddy.
