blue grass

On Monday night we went to see a blue grass band at one of our friend's parent's barn. They have an old red barn that has been fixed up and actually has hardwood floors in it. We had a lot of fun and Finn loved dancing and clapping to the music. He had on a shirt that said "Chicks Dig Me". Also notable from that night was that Finn and Mattea shared a kiss that would make you blush.


Swimming in his pool. We've had some really warm days in the high 80s and low 90s (I know, I know, nothing like Charlotte, but still hot here) and they are perfect days to take advantage of the pool.


Eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for the first time. I don't know why I thought this was so special, but I think it's because it's what kids eat all the time...not babies. =( By the way, he LOVED it and ate a whole sandwich by himself!


After a long, hard day of 'work'.

Wednesday night at youth group. He hadn't taken an afternoon nap, so he didn't want me to put him down.

My boy. Still a little dazed and tired, but oh so cute.

This is who has been taking care of Finn on Wednesday nights for Matthew and I while we do youth group. This was the last night they were going to be able to watch him because AWANA starts next week. They have had so much fun together this summer. Thanks again, Downers!

Matthew spent the whole day today out in a field baling straw. Finn and I went out to see him a couple of times throughout the day. We had to wait at the end of this row until Matthew got there and while we were waiting, Grandpa Morken came up in the other tractor. I had Finn up front with me when he saw the tractor coming. He actually had one leg out of the window trying to climb out to get to Grandpa and the tractor. All he could say was "tacta, tacta!" Grandpa couldn't put him on that tractor fast enough.

This was one of the rare, quiet moments in the car. We were on our way to the blue grass band. Matthew had been singing really loud for Finn who was watching in awe. Matthew wouldn't sing while I had the camera going, but Finn was really impressed!

Finn trying to dance to the music. He looks kind of funny wearing his onesie and tennis shoes and we don't make a habit of dressing him like this in public, but he had messed up his outfit that he wore there. All the kids got up on stage and danced to the music for awhile after the concert. Amy kept trying to get Finn to dance with her, but, of course he had no clue what to do. Finn must get his dancing 'skills' from his Daddy. =)
