Trip to the Fair and Finn at 1 month

A picture of Aiden (taken by either Luke or Liam).  The boys have very VERY quickly learned that when Mom is sitting down to feed Finn, that is the time to get away with almost anything...for example, they love to play with the camera.

Liam was so proud of himself for riding the roller coaster.

It was HOT, very HOT for Minnesota

Luke loves the rides

Finn was a good patient for Liam and Aiden

So hard to believe this little guy will be 1 month old on the 29th!


It is hard to believe Finn has been here for a month on the 29th!  WOW, time does fly.  He is getting bigger and starting to get some chubbier cheeks.  He still has little skinny bird legs, but he is growing.  He is getting longer and has outgrown the newborn clothing and moved on to the 0-3 month clothes.  He still spends much of the day sleeping and eating, but is a little more alert at times and enjoys his mat on the floor and his bouncy chair.  His brothers love to entertain him and argue over who gets the next turn to hold baby Finn.  They love to help with Finn's bath, hold his pacifier in his mouth when he is hungry, or sing to him when he is laying on the floor.

Luke, Liam, and Aiden had the special treat of going to the Minnesota State Fair with Daddy over the weekend.  We try to take them once a year and they always ask when we can go.  In the middle of winter when we had two feet of snow on the ground, Luke asked about going to the Fair.  So, as much as John and I dislike the Fair, the boys LOVE it.  Their favorite part is definitely the rides.  I heard a statistic on the news this week that this will be the hottest week at the Fair in 65 years!  Yes, despite our very mild and almost cool summer, it is HOT this week.  Very hot.  So, on the day that the boys went to the fair, the weather was hot and muggy.  It definitely influenced the duration of their trip, but they made the most of it and had a great time.

Big week for us after Labor Day as Luke and Liam start Kindergarten and Aiden begins preschool!!
