Bloomfield Adventures

We have been in Bloomfield the whole week due to my mom being in the Hospice House in Ottumwa. We have been taking advantage of being with her and visiting with family. Finnean is getting to meet a lot of people that he hasn't met before due to her being ill-so we are trying to make the best of the situation. Thank you for all the prayers that have been coming our way. We did get some good news from the doctor that she believes that my mom has more months to live. We do not know how many or what that looks like. We just want to take advantage of that time. Keep praying and thank you again for all the support.

We had a BBQ tonight and Finnean had the chance to see some farm animals up close! He LOVED the chickens but wasn't sure about touching them. He walked around like they did and made little noises. Cousin Sullivan caught one for him to get a closer look! Finnean cried when we had to leave the chickens! :(

Getting dirty!

Finnean had his first bite of homemade ice cream...and this was after all the bites were gone! He was so mad that we didn't get him anymore!

"Cow!"

Finnean LOVED that he could sit and play and the cows were right there close to him! He kept mooing at them and saying cow.

First 4-wheeler ride.

Well...not really. A few seconds after he got on he started screaming! Not too excited about going on it with Uncle Dan!

This is Finnean when the "horse!" was coming!!! He loves horses and got to see one up close!

Finnean liked to pet "Brownie" and could even say his name. BUT he did not want to ride Brownie!! (Yes-I am on the horse :)

"OOOOOO!"

He kept saying this when Uncle Dan (Finnean warmed up to him) would make a basket! Of course he warmed up because he found a basketball!

What a sweet little boy! I love his little eyes in this picture.

He kept trying to take off his hat but here he is trying to buckle it!!

Ball!

In the last week I feel like he has grown up so much. He looks so big in his little cargo shorts and polo (and just like daddy!)

Soaking up the farm life.

This was after he got to see all the animals and then played basketball for almost an hour. He was pooped!!!

Finnean and Dad resting after the BBQ.

What a funny little boy! He loves trucks and you can usually find him with one.

Books before bed with Grandma Lisa.

Finnean has found all of the Little Golden books that his Dad, Adam and Ellie used to read. He loves looking at the pictures and pointing out all of the things he knows but he really loves reading with Grandma! We have been here for a few days and has really gotten comfy with Grandma and Poppa.
