when grandpa was here

Finn had so much fun with Grandpa here. They played in the morning and evening when Dad was here. He loved riding on Grandpa's shoulders and was very, very interested in that weird hair on his face. Sometimes, he didn't know what to do with it...touch it or just stay away from it. =) I loved watching them play and wrestle on the floor. What a sad time it was to say goodbye to Dad on Friday. It was nice to have him be able to stay for over 3 weeks though. I'm already looking forward to next beet harvest when he has already said he'll be coming back. We miss you, Dad/Grandpa! Can't wait to see you and everyone at Christmas!

So sweet...


Finn at Bible study on Wednesday. All of the other kids were out in the living room playing and I noticed Finn wasn't with them. He had found this game of Mattea's in her room and was just playing by himself. I'm glad he can keep himself busy and find things that he enjoys doing on his own. It is really fun to see them all together though playing with each other. =) He and Mattea like copying each other....mostly stomping and making weird grunting noises followed by giggles and laughter.

Finley likes to act like he's talking on the phone. I guess he's seen this a few times. It's really funny because he doesn't just stand there talking on the phone, he moves around...just like Mommy. =) Of course, the reason I have to keep moving is to always attempt to find reception somewhere in the house!

More of the same. When he puts it up to his ear he says "hi". Dad thought this was really funny.
