sunday...and a tattoo!

On Sunday, Matthew had the opportunity to preach at a church in Northwood, ND. He spoke about his passion for youth ministry and gave his testimony. There was a lot of positive feedback about his message and the people there were so nice and welcoming. We went home with the family of our friends, Katy and John to have lunch. We had a good afternoon playing with the kids and talking. It got to be a long day for Finn and on the way to lunch he fell asleep in his car seat. I always feel bad now when he falls asleep in the car because you know he must be desperate if he can sleep in this seat. I kept trying to push his head against the back of the headrest but every time I did it kept falling forward.




Matthew took Finn rollerblading Sunday night. I hope he doesn't expect to go as fast as they did on regular walks now.


Look who got into the mud yesterday. He was actually trying to put a rock on his mouth that happened to be covered in mud. This was at our house, so I'm pretty sure there wasn't much, if any, manure in it. =)


So, Matthew took care of Finn this morning while I finished up some sewing. I noticed that it got really quiet for a few minutes but decided they were just playing quietly. They walked out to the living room together looking like they had been up to something. Matthew said that Finn had something to show me so he put Finn up on his lap and that's when I saw it. You probably can't see it in this picture but look on the inside of Finn's right leg just below his knee.


Maybe Finn's pointing will help you see it. He kept pointing it out to me. He was so proud of his tattoo!


It's a heart tattoo with an arrow shooting through it and "Mom" written in the middle. =) What an honor to have my name tattooed on Finn's leg!


Here's a video of Matthew rollerblading. He used to rollerblade a lot and he's still good. I wanted him to do some jumps but the road in front of our house is too rough. I'll get some jumps some other time....and don't worry, he didn't do anything crazy when he was rollerblading with Finn.
