tupperware + Finn = very happy boy!

Look at Finn playing with his newest favorite toy! And yes, he is sitting on his own now. He's been working on that for quite a while. Now he's working on the crawling thing. He scooches around backwards and rolls all around!

The passing of my father has been an emotional and trying time for me. In fact, I feel like every day has been a struggle. It's like taking one step forward and then going back 3 spaces. But, it's been getting a little less painful. A lot of that has to do with all of the prayers and support from friends and family...and for that I am grateful. I couldn't get through this without you all. I look at these cards every day and am reminded of all of you who care about me and are grieving with me. Thank you.

Happy 4th!

We left Thursday for the Lake of the Ozarks and just got home this afternoon. We had so much fun fishing, setting off fireworks, and just relaxing. Here are some pics from the trip:

Aunt Cindy and Uncle Tom's...

Finn spent the night at Aunt Cindy and Uncle Tom's on Friday night. (David and I slept in on Saturday morning...AMAZING!) I received this e-mail from Finn:

Hi mommy,

I just wanted to tell you that everything is fine over here. I made a new friend. He makes me laugh. I like to put his paws in my mouth and he likes to smell me. It's a good friendship. See you tomorrow!

Love, Finn

Payton

I got to spend some time with our friends, Marcy and Jairus' baby girl. Her name is Payton and she only 2 months old....so tiny! I can't even remember Finn that small already! Here we are hangin' out. She's pretty darn cute!

Pool Day

Finn and I spent Sunday with our friends at the pool in our neighborhood. We had a really great time. I swear he is trying to swim, he kicks his feet and splashes around the water. My friend, Marcy, took these adorable photos...

I did it!

It's short, but I'm super happy with it...what do you think?
