Our Family, Our Story

Well our first days home. We are starting to feel human again, and loving getting to see how our family "works" now. I think Mina is really trying to figure out if she likes being a big sister. We are really going to have to work on our sharing. She does really like treating Finn like a baby, but she is not sure if she wants Finn to touch her, her toys, or to be held by us unless she is on our opposite hip. This should be interesting. Finn seems to be doing extremely well, she LOVES to have the freedom to explore the house, she LOVES her grandparents and Aunt Jenny, she LOVES our dog, Maggie. While we were in China she threw several tantrums a day but we really haven't seen any since we have been home, which is really nice. She has a doctor appointment in a few hours so we will see how she likes her car seat again. I would normally wait to take her to the Dr. as I know it will be quite traumatic (judging from the quick medical exam while in China) but she has quite a large bump on her head that we keep trying to figure out and we are still not sure what it is.. We need a Dr. to take a look at it, as it seems to be getting worse. We shall see. Thank you all for the well wishes, it is so great to be home! Thanks Mollie and Sarabeth for coordinating and putting up the adorable stork to Welcome Finn home!! I can't wait to give you your squeaky shoe collection!

Our first so-so attempt at a family photo.  Not the best for sure but there was no way I was going to pull out my crazy "I need the perfect family photo attitude". It wasn't in the cards, and I'm glad I let it go.  We are all here we all look awake, good enough for today. 

Open wide baby! Mina loves to "baby" Finn, and she does a great job playing the big sister.  I had figured this is how she would need to adjust to Finn, as her compliant underling.  Hopefully soon they can play better side by side.
