Heiney 2

Finn has the funniest dance he does, appropriately called "Heiney 2." It is a modification from his earlier dance Heiney 1. Enjoy this clip of Finn getting down.

Galveston

We just got back from our trip to Galveston. My Dad was gracious enough to rent a huge beach-front house on Jamaica Beach. Erin and I headed out with Finn on Monday to join my dad. Finn had a blast playing in the waves and the sand. We went to Moody Gardens and visited their indoor "Rainforest", Aquarium, and IMAX. Will, and our cousins Bryan and Cody came Tuesday-Thursday, and Rick was able to join us on Friday night. We went to the Rainforest Cafe on Friday night, thinking Finn would love the rainforest animals that come to life while you are eating. Wrong. Finn was really freaked out, especially by the giant anaconda. We checked out the Strand area and did some shopping and ate at a really cute old-timey drugstore/soda fountain. All in all, we had a great time, except for my hair, which cannot handle the Galveston humidity.

Future Olympians 2024

Looks like Finn and Jaxx have a real future as a synchronized swimming duo. Today, B'Kay, Tera, Finn, Jaxx, and I went to the Veterans Waterpark. They had a blast playing together. Finn likes to copy everything that Jaxx does, including going backwards down a water slide. It was really cute.

This week has been pretty busy between going to the River last weekend, getting a new car, and getting things ready for our move. Finn has picked up a great new habit of saying something that sounds just like "stop beating me mama", whenever I make him leave someplace that he wants to stay. I know he is really is saying or means something else, but it has caused a few embarrasing moments.

Remembering what's important

It has been quite the week for our family. My grandma is in still in the hospital, and everything is still up in the air about her condition. Please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers. On Friday, we left for Tulsa. I left in the morning to meet Rick at an apartment in Fort Worth. On the way, I got in a wreck and totaled my car. It was my fault. Thankfully, everyone was ok and we have insurance. I am going to start looking for a new car this week.

We made it to Tulsa, where Finn was able to spend sometime with his Gran and Rick's extended family. We stayed in downtown Fort Worth Sunday night, and we found an apartment. It is called Firestone, and it's really gorgeous. It is in the Museum district, in downtown Fort Worth. We're really excited to have found a place.

We were able to visit my grandma Monday through Wednesday. Finn wasn't allowed in the room to visit her, so we my Dad and Erin had to take turns watching him. We made it back to Austin tonight and are glad to be off of the road. The picture above is the view from our hotel room in Fort Worth.
