This picture was supposed to be all smiling and happy but it is hard to get a 4 1/2 year old and and almost two year old smiling at the same time, at one point they were all smiling very nicely. Carter was being goofy and Finnean had a mouth full of food! I think Michael was just trying be patient.

:)

Ellie and Carter stopped and had dinner with us tonight after a day of fun in Des Moines. Finnean has been missing Carter. When we told Finnean we would see Grandma and Poppa earlier this week he said "Carter?!" Thinking that Carter would be there too...then today when we told Finnean that Carter was coming over and he said "Poppa?!" thinking that Poppa was coming too. I think he thinks that all of his family should travel together!

New Finnean word: "Noo-te." He means NO but somehow he started putting a T on the end of it! It do not like when he says Noo-te but dang he is cute when he says it!
