The Finn & Hildi Show

On our 9th anniversary, you think we’d have more to do than update you on our kids, but we don’t. Check out shots from the last couple of weeks (note: there’s a little play button in the lower right hand corner of the photo gallery where you can press play to see a slideshow) and you may think Finn’s donned the head gear to protect himself from Hildi’s screaming, but the truth is she’s mostly quiet. She’s got a pretty rough life as you’ll see: sleeping, people kissing her, lying out in the sun, bathing, hanging out at the beach, attending soccer matches, and modeling for mom (notice she’s starting to lift her head, no reliable smiles yet). She did have about 10 days of terrible baby acne. Finn’s figured out how to keep himself pretty busy too: staring PRE-SCHOOL, building things, dressing up, throwing water balloons, going to the Oregon State Fair, being ‘big’ like his cousins at the beach, taking up ‘garage tennis’, watching and driving race cars, small engine repair, and skateboarding. We survived completing the restoration of Opa’s 1961 Austin Healy 3000 and Steve’s near panic attack letting him take it back home. And, all the activity hasn’t broken Steve or Sarah (yet).
