Our lives have evolved, devolved, revolved around these three things for the last three weeks. This is our new Trinity! Finn turned 3 weeks old tonight at 6:50 p.m. We gave him a bath to commemorate the occasion. He’s still not ready for birthday cake…he continues to eat what his mom provides. We took him for a walk this afternoon and snapped a couple of these cute pics. The hat comes from his cousin Katie. It is still too big for Finn, but the way he’s growing, he’ll grow into it very soon.

We spent yesterday visiting Grandma and Grandpa Cox. Finn had two long naps (1-2 hours) while we were there. Erik stayed with Finn, Grandma and Grandpa while Melinda went to the dentist. Finn slept the whole time she was gone!

We’ve been receiving lots of cards, gifts and well-wishes from people all over. Thanks very much for all of your generosity and support. Finn has been busy opening packages and cards….we’ve been making him go get the mail…ok, well, we push him to the mailbox in the stroller.

We’ve discovered that a great way to soothe our little guy is to sing Lenten hymns. There is something about the despair of these tunes that calms him. So, we’ve been paging through the old LBW (green book) and singing or humming the tunes to him. It works, so we’re going to keep doing it. Our poor child is getting indoctrinated into the Lutheran faith at 3 weeks old. What else would you expect from us? We’re starting to think about baptismal dates…Reformation Day (Oct. 31) is on a Sunday this year!!!

That’s all for tonight. Talk with you later….

Erik, Melinda and Finn
