Happy Halloween

Finn was a cute little pea pod for his first Halloween. He instantly attacked the foam peas on his costume, so they lasted about two minutes. We took him over to our friends house and he fell asleep, so that's about as much "trick-or-treating" he did. I'm not sad that he can't eat candy yet, because that means he won't have a major sugar rush and bounce off the walls. As for us, we had our buddies come over and party. We had homemade root beer, pumpkin pie, little smokies wrapped in bacon (I know, so devilish, but so yummy!), white chicken chili in pumpkin bread bowls and of course, left over candy that was meant for the trick-or-treaters that didn't show up. I don't blame the trick-or-treaters for not coming to our apartment. Our apartments are old and kind of creepy. And it means more candy for me, so I was happy. The only part about halloween that I didn't like was watching a scary movie. I am so jumpy already and the movie we watched was based on a true story which made it even more scary. The guys were loving the scary movie and me and Deyette were basically covering our eyes for 90% of the movie. It's amazing the comfort putting my hand over my eyes gives me. If I can't see it, then it's not there. We didn't get to sleep until late (which is midnight for us, no laughing!) so once my head hit the pillow I was out! It was nice to be that tired because I didn't have any nightmares(another reason I dislike horror movies). And another bonus to this holiday weekend was daylight savings, so we got to sleep an extra hour last night. I never realized how much I appreciate even small amounts of extra sleep until we had Finn. Kids teach you so many things and also rob you of so much sleep. I know sleep is for the weak, but I'm admitting I'm weak. I need and love my precious sleep. Ok, sorry for the sleep tangent. I hope Halloween was fun for you all and please post pictures of your little ghoules and goblins.

National Doctor Groups weigh in on the proposed health care plan

The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not
to make any rash moves.

The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the
Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.

The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception.

Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.

Pathologists yelled, 'Over my dead body!' while the Pediatricians
said, 'Oh, Grow up!'

The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the
Radiologists could see right through it.

Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing The Internists
thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons
said, 'This puts a whole new face on the matter.'

The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were
pissed off at the whole idea.

The Anesthesiologists thought the idea was a gas, and the
Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.

In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up
to the assholes in Washington."

Healthcare Reform is Crap!

This is how I feel about Obama's approach to healthcare reform. Please watch.

Finn's First Hair Cut

Happy to have shorter hair!

Good lookin boy

Now you can see his ears better


What are you doing to me?!

Of course, he had to suck on the cape covered in hair

Getting ready to lose hair

We all knew it was going to happen sooner than later, Finn finally got his first hair cut tonight. He still has a lot of hair, it is just trimmed up. I'm not going to lie, when Nicki took the first cut I clinched a little and wondered if I was doing the right thing, but I'm good now and he looks great! Thanks, Nicki, for doing a great job!

Happy Four Month Birthday!

He's a very happy baby (thank goodness!)

Another crazy hair photo

Dear Little Finn,

I can't believe that it has been 4 months since you came into our lives. We anticipated your coming and now enjoy every little moment we get to spend with you. Thank you for your smiles and very sweet temperment. It is such a joy to watch you grow and become a healthy, strong little boy! Thank you for choosing your Dad and I to have the opportunity to be your parents. We love you so much and look forward to all the wonderful experiences that lay ahead! Happy four month old birthday!!!

Love your parents

School is in the air

Yes, it's that time again, to go back to school. But thank goodness I graduated and I don't have to go back this semester! Celebrate good times!!! But I do have some good news. Just recently I have been looking to find a part time job to help out with the finances. And to my surprise, this morning Meagan Latimer called me and offered me a job! How often does that happen? NEVER! (Especially to me) My new job entails cooking, planning menus, and grocery shopping for a sorority house on campus. Some of you may think this a subpar job, but it works perfectly for my situation. I only work Monday through Thursday and in the evenings. Caleb comes home from work right when I will need to be leaving, so there will be no need for finding a sitter. This job also kills two birds with one stone: I will be getting paid while getting dietetics related experience. It's crazy how well this job fits into my life right now. I am amazed at how much the Lord knows us and our situations, so I'm humbled and grateful for this blessing. I hope all is well with whoever reads this and know that we pray for our friends and family.

The kid is growing!

Yes, I know I'm weird, but I guess I thought Finn would stay little for forever, but he's getting so big! I took him to his 2 month appointment on Thursday and he weighed 15 pounds and he is 25 inches long! That puts him in the 96th and 97th percentile. I knew he was growing, but not that much! At least I know he's getting enough food. You wouldn't know it because every three hours he screams like he is starving. He is sleeping through the night and was very brave for his first set of shots at the doctor. Babies are awesome and I love my Finn very much!
