Jump, buddy, jump

Thursday night we went over to Born's and got to play with their kids. Seems that we kind of take over their kids when ours aren't there! A couple neighbors came over and it was a really nice evening. I volunteered to drive home, so Jim could enjoy himself and let loose a bit. I had to drag him away around 10pm! He and Mike don't get a lot of time like that together to argue world and political views.

Yesterday Jim and I ran a few errands after work, which was really nice without kids! Then we came home and hunkered in for the night to watch the Olympic Opening Ceremony. Loved it. I have to say, the beginning was amazing, the middle was a little boring and the Parade of Nations was very quick. I was a little disappointed with the lighting of the torch. While I liked the symbolism of the young athletes lighting the torch, I prefer it to be one person with a great story as to WHY they are lighting it. Oh, well. I barely stayed up for it, I mean it was 4.5 hours! But I did and then headed right to bed!

Lynn dropped the kids off at mom's yesterday afternoon. We called to check on them (the first time all week for me!) and it sounded like they were having a good time. Korri has been a little under the weather, but mom said she woke up in a good mood this morning. The first thing Finn said when he got on the phone was, "I've been a good listening boy, mommy!" He made us laugh. Mom said Korri kept waving at the phone. Can't wait to see them in a few hours!!!

Here is a video, similar to Austin's, of Finn attempting to jump on the trampoline. While we were watching it last night, we were encouraging him, even though it was just a video. Jim said, "Jump, buddy, jump!" So cute.

We are heading to Murdock shortly for our high school reunion. Crazy that it has been 15 years already. I remember when people who had their 15 year reunion were old. Hmmm... It is at a park/beach that we used to hang out at all the time growing up, so I'm looking forward to the kids playing there. Should be fun to catch up with old friends, too. I think about half our class should be there, which I think is pretty good (and for the record, half is 28 people!).
