Mama has been busy being mama and med student. Dada has been busy trying to figure out next steps. Fin has been busy being awesome. Mac has been busy being awesome.
Our boys are super sweet together. Mac still lights up like crazy whenever Fin comes around.
Giggles.
All of my boys. So much happiness in one picture.
Dessa and Doomtree, local musicians, came to Fin's preschool to read books. She loved little Nugget.
Fin and his great preschool. The girl to the right of Fin, Tuula, told her parents she wants to marry him.
Mac!
Fin trying on his skis. He took ski lessons! He went up the rope tow by himself and made some sweet turns down the hill. Fearless, happy dude. I could here him giggling while he "far and fast" down the mountain.
Peace Party! They had a Peace Party at Fin's preschool. Here he is with Allison B (our neighbor!), one of the teachers. They sang songs, recited a Peace Poem with accompanying sign language. It was adorable.
Decorated gingerbread cookies after the Peace Party.
On stage at the Peace Party getting ready to sing!
Jeff and I went away for a quick ski weekend in Winter Park while NanaBob watched the boys. I had an interview at U of CO too. We got TONS of snow and it was super fun to see our friends Rebecca and George. Total blast.
Yay for Winter Park-so fun!
Batman! Fin got a new batman suit for xmas!
Our boys! Merry Christmas!
Family in new pajamas!
The boys got memberships to the Science Museum from Grandpa and Mama D! We visited the butterfly house. Fin was so weirded out by it!
Boys!
Great-grandma Mattson and her great-grandkids. 91 years old looks dang good!
Seriously, so melty!!!
Holding hands with my boy.
Influenza A positive. Boo.
What's that Mama?
You surprised me!
Silly Mama!
Running around on a frozen lake with Auntie Vi!
Visiting with Great-Grandma Dahl! We had a nice visit with her: she fed us well and we had a blast playing at her house.
Ice-fishing!!!!! Fin's head practically exploded with excitement. Seriously, he was doing "excited dances" and couldn't sit still. Loved putting the minnow down the fishing hole! Fun to share the experience with him.
Throwing snow balls.
Fin also started violin lessons (just like Mama, Uncle Jason, Auntie Kelsey, Great-Grandpas). He really likes it and is doing a wonderful job! First recital this weekend. He's getting up to sing a song with his bow. Can't wait!
Aaaaand every Sunday Jeff and Fin have a squash date. Fin loves spending time with Dada and is getting the hang of playing squash!
Making good connection!
Fin enjoys "salad smoothies": 1/2 avocado, 1 apple, 1.5 cups apple juice, 2 cups spinach!
What a crazy boy!
As much as Mac loves Fin, Fin loves Mac. He gets a kick out of making him laugh and is always interested in all the things Mac can do. Speaking of, Mac is doing wonderfully. He is eating well. Goes to sleep well. Wakes up a few times a night to feed still but we're working on it getting him to sleep longer. Uffda. He is getting stronger at sitting up. He also is really interested in everything we're eating. Got a chunk of banana from me the other day, definitely wanted more! I think he's ready for solids! Still as smiley, giggly, and joyful as ever. We really are lucky to have two amazing kiddos.
Are you ready for some football?!
