Gold Medal

That was hardly the case when I finally crossed the finish line of a 5K two weeks ago. I was still proud of myself, especially when Finn ran up to hug me. He immediately let go, disgusted by the amount of sweat on my body. I don't blame him! Finn talked all week about how I was going to get a gold medal for running the race. He gave me this when I got home. So sweet!

Stripes

Can you tell that Finn has inherited my obsession with stripes? It is a sick compulsion passed down to me from my mother. It is a guarantee that at one point during her visits we will both end up leaving the house wearing stripes.

Thank You

I used to be so good about getting thank you notes written and mailed in a timely manner. As Finn gets older, I seem to be moving slower. I'd like to think that I'm just a bit more relaxed about things these days. Anyway, a month had gone by since his birthday and I started to feel guilty. I had to come up with something great, no store bought thank you notes would suffice. I got Finn involved by helping me make the lego sign, which he liked until I took space ships apart to get the pieces I needed. I wanted to torture him a little more, so I made him pose for pictures. He is going through a phase where he doesn't like to sit still for pictures. That was fun! I had post cards printed and finally sent them out. I think it was worth the wait.

Here are some of the other pics that I didn't use, which I think are hilarious.
