Friday, we decided to head out for Oville early and Jim took his conference calls on the road (I drove, obviously). We were going for auntie Becca's wedding shower hosted by Pete's hometown church, which was a really good event. Our travel plan worked out well and we got to Murdock JUST in time for one of Jim's really important calls. I knew he was going to be on the phone for at least an hour and a half (ended up being on for 2 hours!), so I fed Korri and then the kids and I headed over to Grandpa Egg's (my dad), hoping he would be home. And he was! Finn even got to stand on his backhoe (Finn's favorite piece of construction equipment) and see grandpa's dump truck. Maybe Finn will even get a ride next time.
When Jim was done, we finished the drive to Oville. Uncle John had a baseball game, so we ate a quick dinner and went up to the game. They lost (boo!), but Finn had a BLAST. He and daddy got three foul balls and Finn made a new friend with the daughters of one of John's team mates.
Finn is sitting in the chair Memere got him...he LOVED it. His Northstar sweatshirt from aunt Kelsie was a little bit, but SUPER cute. It "matched" his Vikings pants and Twins hat! Memere and NeNe took care of Korri, so I got a much needed break. In the above picture, she FINALLY gave in and fell asleep for a little bit. Oh, and John broke his hand at the game! Crazy. It was the first time I'd seen a cast being administered, since I have yet to break a bone (knock on wood). He wasn't convinced to go in until Saturday and then Jim and I went with him tot he ER. I think he is really bummed that it was actually broken, but it was a small break and should heal quickly if he is a good patient! We're trying to convince him to come visit us this weekend since he can't play baseball for one weekend this summer!
Saturday, we went back to Murdock to spend some time with Grandma. We got a later start than I'd hoped for, but Korri was taking a monster nap and I wasn't excited to wake her up. This morning the kids and I got up and went to church with mom. I just love going to church in Murdock where I grew up. Feels like home. And Finn got an A+ for behavior...I think Jim even would have been proud.

That sweatshirt is so adorable!!! Even cuter than I imagined!! I thought it would be a little big but that way he can wear it longer! :-). Thanks for posting a picture!! I sure wish I could've been there with all of you.
Lots of love,
Aunt Kelsie
Yup, I think it should last him through the fall! Seriously, so cute. Thank you!
