Yesterday Finn slept in until almost 9:30! I know he wasn't awake earlier playing like normal, because I was up, showered, dressed and reading a book by the time he woke up. Crazy little boy. He must like to sleep in while on vacation. I got him ready and we headed out to see my old dear friend Rebecca (by old I mean long time, not old as in age...ha, ha...she'll get a kick out of that!). Unfortunately, right before we got there, Rebecca called to say that Abigail, her almost three year old daughter, had a temperature of 101! Yikes. So we had to cancel our plans. I was really disappointed, but more importantly I hope Abigail is okay! For a second I considered going anyway, but that is the selfish part of me, not the responsible mom part!
Finn and I headed over to the Huntley Outlet Mall instead. We were already super close and Finn needed some long sleeve onsies and jeans. It is an outdoors mall and it was practically deserted, so I didn't feel bad taking him there (plus, he was in his car seat/stroller coocoon). I got some really cute stuff and showed restraint (I didn't even go to The Children's Place Outlet because I got what I needed at Carter and Osh Kosh Bgosh and knew I'd find something Finn "needed" if I went in). Then we headed over to Best Buy because the power cord to Jim's computer pooped out last night...I have the worst luck with electronics. If it can break, it will. Then we headed back. Finn was SUPER good all day considering he was in his car seat the entire time (because I just snap the car seat into the stroller for maximum coverage). When we got back, he was so happy just to lay and stretch and squeel...for like half an hour. I was worried we were going to get a "keep it down" phone call; that is how loud he was! Silly little goose head (my name for him whenever he is being silly).
We decided it would be easier to stay again tonight. Jim has to work until 5pm, so traffic would be horrible at that time. Also, since we'd have to be out of our room by Noon, Finn and I would be displaced all day today, which would be a little tough. Yay, one more day! Finn is still in bed (it is currently 9:30)...I guess we know which parent he takes after.

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.

We sure are sad to have missed our opportunity to see you and Finn. So, instead, my sick little girl and I decided to look through pictures on your site. Not quite the same thing, but it will do for now!
