Finn

Another development from last weekend was that Uncle Kevin finished up the job of refurbishing one of Coby's old bikes to give to Finn to use.  Finn's been needing to move up a step in bike size, so we stopped at the Bridges' house to pick up the bike on the way home from Grandma and Grandpa B's house on Sunday...and had 4 bikes on our new bike rack for the first time.  Only one of the four bikes really fits on as intended, so it look's kind of funny.  Here's a photo:

Today I went to Aunt Robins cottage.  Who went with me?  Coleman, Aunt Allison, mommy, Elliot, and Grandma B.  I went wave riding with Aunt Robin and played at the beach.  I went fishing and caught two fish.  Wave riding is like jet skiing.  We were on a lake.  I went this fast: 45 miles an hour!  That's it.

Dad will post some pictures when he gets them from Grandma.

Amen.

Both boys enjoy playing the piano and are going to take some lessons this summer.  Here's some footage of Finn playing one of his favorite tunes:

Here's another video of Finn playing some original compositions and Elliot playing harmonica:

Here are some recent photos of Elliot at school, Elliot and Finn playing soccer, and Finn's birthday party.  More photos are on Picasa: link.

When it's your birthday in Finn's Montessori class, you take a symbolic walk around the sun once for each of your years.  Your also share a photo and a few thoughts about each year.
