First and foremost, Finn wants to wish his daddy a wonderful Father's Day. Finn told me what he wanted to get daddy, so I got it for him. He got daddy a personalized "Daddy Hand" poem, flowers and caramel rolls this morning and Finn asked if I would make daddy dinner tonight, something Jim actually loves that I make...jambalaya. And Jim gets to install a new front door today (with Alex's help!). Hopefully he has a fun day. You are an awesome father and husband, Jim! We both love you very much.
Okay, on to the title of this post. I got to watch a bridge explode in person this morning. It was really cool. I didn't have the greatest view because it was blocked by a lot of trees, but I saw it and definitely heard it! The bridge just north of our house that crosses the Mississippi River has been closed for close to a year because it was deemed dangerous to use. So they finally demolished it this morning. It might be the coolest thing I've seen in person. Jim stayed home (honestly, I thought he was still sleeping) and watched it on the news. He said it felt like an earthquake and it woke Finn up! I guess that's what happens when it is only two blocks from your house. I hope to catch the replay tonight on the news.
I didn't video tape it myself, but click here if you want to see it for yourself (right around the 15 second mark): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5aH4IKxEGE

Nearly half a million babies (1 in 10) are born premature in the US each year which is higher than that of most other developed nations. This is the journeys of our first born son, Finnegan, who was born 14 weeks early and weighed only 1 pound 15 ounces at birth. Of our daugher, Korrigan, who was born a healthy 7 pounds, 7 ounces at 37 weeks. And of our second son, MacKeegan, who was also born at 37 weeks at a whopping 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Our continued adventures reminds us daily how good God is.
