Welcoming Charles Paul



My best friend in the whole world Amy (and Steve) had a baby! Charles Paul AKA Charlie was born on Friday October 22nd. We were all lucky enough to scoot up to Minneapolis for the weekend and meet the newest member of the family. Not surprising Amy was up and moving and looking fabulous less than 24 hours later. She is amazing!

Big brothers Doug and James were very excited to meet "popcorn" (glad they decided to change his name, I do like Charlie a bit more). Finn liked to call him Chachi and he ADORED him, just so interested in his every squeak and move and very concerned when he cried. We are all very happy everyone is healthy and happy and home safe!

Long overdue


Mr Bike!

Well, we have be very busy since "Momma" started school. But I live to tell the tale and am enjoying the vigorous learning, so far... And Finn has been a trooper at daycare and with Great Aunt Chris and Great Uncle Ray (on Tuesdays). He comes home almost every day from daycare with an accident report (go figure, he is a TRUE boy!). Finn's latest and greatest include a new love for choo choo's (especially Salty), playing his harmonica or recorder, looking for buggies, and saying NO (which he says very clearly). We are all adjusting to our new lives and finally getting into the swing of things. Jason and Finn flew to St. Louis by themselves a couple weekends ago and had a great time, despite leaving mom behind. We got out yesterday for a nice canoe adventure and today Jason took Finn on a wonderful hike. We are looking forward to a beautiful Nebraska fall as the leaves are starting to turn and the cool smell is in the air. Hope all is well with all of you!
love, nicki
