Pictures yesterday went super well. I was a little nervous given the experience with his 6 month pictures, but other than a little grumbling and general disapproval, Finn was happy and hammed it up for the camera. We managed to get all the shots just before he hit the wall and needed a nap (much better than the 5 hours it took last time!). I think they will turn out really well. We also did a few family pictures so we could do a Christmas card this year...our first one ever! I'm excited to see all the pics. And as always, I'll post the information on here, so you can take a peek, too, when they are ready. Jess thought it would be about a week or so. Drum, drum, drum...that is my fingers drumming on the table while I wait PATIENTLY! Hee, hee. Thanks again Jess for taking Finn's pictures and coming to our house. You are the best.
The shoot must have worn poor Finnegan out. He conched out as Jess was leaving our house, slept for 4 hours, got up to eat, I tried to keep him up for an hour, but couldn't, laid him down without a peep until 6pm, only to be on the way to bed at 7:30! Yikes. Katie is watching Finn today so mommy and daddy can go to the Gopher football game. If today is anything like yesterday, she won't even know he is there (hopefully!). Thanks, Katie! I might not be thanking you once we get back and I have to thaw out my digits and limbs and check for frost bite....burrrrrr. Snow? Seriously? Already? Yup...it is actually on the ground this morning. Who decided on an outside stadium?!?! Boo. Oh, well...Go Gophers!

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.

All went well...except that nap thing didn't happen....he must love his quieter house and bed waay more than toddlers to entertain him and his pack and play. Overall, he's too cute to let him sleep all day anyway. :)
Q was the same way...if we stayed home she'd sleep all day. The second anything new happened, she got really excited and wouldn't nap worth a darn. :)
Check out the blog for photos from today!
Katie, it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway...THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I really appreciate it. I'm sure Q and T were way too much fun to be around so he didn't want to miss anything by napping. I'm so sorry about Poop Fest 2009...I don't know what got into him! I'm glad you were able to roll with the punches and figure it all out. Jim said Finn wanted you when he came to pick him up. Uh, oh...you're his favorite...I think that means you should spend LOTS of time with him! Ha, ha!! Thanks again. We both really appreciate it (my fingers are still a little cold, though!)
