I think we need a new camera. I'm bummed because I though the one we have was fine, until it started taking blurry pictures. Oh and of course once my friend Jess told me I need a better one to get good shots of Finn (she is a photographer!). So, the one she recommended and we want ranges between $600 up to over $1000. Yikes! I'm trying so hard to save money, but it seems like there is always "something." Plus, the one we have is almost three years old and in the technology world, that is ancient. I like that it is compact, but I would love better quality pictures (even Jim's mom's camera takes noticeably better pictures than ours). So, we'll see.
Memere and Grandpa came last night and stayed over night. Finn loves this as he never gets put down and all his wants and needs are taken care of before he can even think of them. I'm a little nervous for how spoiled he will be after we get back from Aruba, but I'm sure I'll deal. They watched the boys this morning while I ran an errand and started mowing the lawn, so that was very helpful.
Oh, and my mom came Friday after work and volunteered to watch Finn so Jim and I could go over to our friends' Stacey and Sam for dinner and a bonfire. It was a wonderful evening. I LOVE bonfires and we can't have a fire pit at our house (due to crazy city rules and regulations!). Jim had picked up his old Smurf toys when we were in Ortonville, so he gave them to Dillon to play with. I wonder how long they both would have played with them if it hadn't been bedtime for Dillon?!?! Now Jim wants to bring back his HeMan stuff. Hopefully Dillon will play with the stuff until Finn is old enough so we don't have to store it! And mom watched Finn again Saturday AM so I could go shopping with Kristine and Becky for wedding stuff. We'd probably never seen Finn if both of our moms lived closer!

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.
