Happy 2 months Finn!

Sleeping in the jogging stroller.  Mom is excited that he will soon be big enough to go on runs in the stroller.  

Liam is showing me his airplane from the movie Planes

Luke loves to relax

Playing with their new airplanes.  They were, of course, battling with the planes and they had teams.  There is always always competition among these three.

The days are getting shorter and the weather is getting cooler in Minnesota, but this past weekend it was still warm enough that it felt a bit like summer.  We will take as much of this as we can get.  Finn loves riding in the stroller and typically sleeps on and off.  We updated our family pictures over the weekend to include Finn and because the ones we had were about two years old.  This was quite an endeavor, but thankfully the timing, weather, and moods of everyone actually fell into place so I am optimistic we got some good pictures.  We will have a few to share pretty soon.

Finn will be two months old this week which is so hard for me to believe.  He has outgrown all newborn clothing and most of the 0-3 month clothing as well.  He is moving right into 3-6 month clothes and will soon be in #2 diapers.  He is getting a few chubby rolls on his chin and legs so we know he hasn't missed too many meals.  He continues to be very tolerant of small hands in his face, loud noises, sudden screaming, changes in his routine, car rides to and from school, and just about anything else we have thrown at him in the last two months.  He smiles and coos just like his brother Luke.  He has the same little grin and its just precious.

We are all still adapting to our new school schedule.  We can relax and do fun things on Mondays and Fridays, but on Tuesday to Thursday we are fairly scheduled and busy with school.  The boys got their first pair of tennis shoes with laces that you tie so we have been doing a lot of practicing on how to tie shoelaces.  Liam is pretty close if not already there.  Luke, on the other hand, is having a little more trouble but I feel like when he actually starts to listen to the instructions then we might make some progress!  Both have been excited about wearing shoes that tie which is good because our feet are getting too big for the velcro shoes.

Welcome Fall!  We hope to make a couple of our favorite apple orchards this fall so stay tuned.  Lastly, John and I celebrate 11 years of marriage on the 28th.  I am pretty sure neither of us envisioned our lives would be so blessed with four boys 11 years ago.  Its chaotic, loud, and busy most of the time, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.  Happy 11 Years, John!
