We have been keeping Finn very busy this summer. He has enjoyed a quick trip back to Grandpa Keith's farm and loved every minute of it. He rode on a "red tractor" (sorry Uncle Ed) and of course watched the cows.
He has been taking a soccer class once a week which is pretty entertaining. It basically involves him running in circles for about 45 minutes. He enjoys it but does keep saying when it is time to go to "soccer school" that he wants to go to baseball school. I think his daddy has brainwashed him! He loves the Brewers and we also recently had an evening out at a Brewers game. Finn wore his Brewers shirt with matching pants and baseball cap. He brought along his little baseball glove and as soon as we got in out seats he took his "baseball stance" and held his glove up high just waiting for a ball to drop out of the sky into the glove. An extremely kind couple sitting beside us actually went and bought a baseball and dropped it into his glove for him. Finn was very excited to get a real, hard baseball! What a great act of kindness! Finn has continued to play baseball at home and calls our backyard Miller Park and makes us call him Ryan Braun, his favorite player of course.
We also traveled up to Green Bay to see Thomas the train at the National Railroad Museum. We rode the train and Finn got to speak to the conductor which he was tickled about. It is so fun and heart warming to see his face light up getting to do and see all of these things he loves.
Currently Finn and Chris are taking swimming lessons once a week. I think Finn is starting to participate a bit more this year!
Finn is also taking some zoo classes this summer and at one of them got to feed the goats on the zoo farm...freaked him out a little bit.
We also recently took our annual trip to the strawberry farm for some picking. Finn was more interested in eating rather than picking and kept telling me how good they were while I was trying to pick faster than he was eating!
Helaina is growing by leaps and bounds. We had her 2 month check up and she was 11lbs and 6 oz and right at the 50th percentile for height, length and head circumference. She is smiling a lot and just starting to work on some giggling.
She continues to be a great sleeper and actually slept through the night the past two nights. Hopfully that keeps up!
We had our first annual tree planting for father's day this year. Finn picked a great tree!
We keep reminding ourselves how fortunate we are to have two great and wonderful kids that make us smile every day!
