Home Alone! Well, kinda.
You know that I can reach that right?
So for the very first time ever, my mom went awol. My dad and I took her to airplane land and honestly I have no idea what happened after that. We left her in a jumbled mess of people that were seemingly walking in circles, we saw mom, then she walked away from us, then she walked toward us, then she said HI! and then she walked away from us only to walk back toward us a minute later! Grownups are weird. You know what isn’t weird? Doing whatever I want. It’s pretty cool, and between you and I, I don’t think my dad really knows what’s going on. I was curious to see how many times I could get him to read the same exact book in a row, seven for those counting at home, and he never caught on! What a sucker.
BUS! BIKE! PLANE! MOM?
So with mom out of the house, I have decided that all I want to eat is cheese and bagels. That, has not been going quite as smoothly as my apparent reading trance over dad. He keeps making me horrible concoctions of carrots and spinach, blechhh. It’s cool though, we always get around to the good stuff at some point. I got to go and visit my friend Charlie while my dad, her dad and uncle Bink tried to watch as the Portland Timbers got smoked for the second game in as many weekends.
Charlie not only has Viking lineage, but she's also like 1/32 Cherokee (or something)! I call her Warrior Princess.
Now, I’m not a soccer expert, but they don’t look great. While they have their moments, and I believe that those moments will grow into the standard of play, their off the ball movement is uninspired, their finishing far from clinical and their defensive lapses seem to come up as often as an elderly person at the 5 am early bird buffet at Golden Corral. The midfield seems entirely disconnected and unable to provide that crucial link to maintain possession as well as feed the forwards. Well, I’m sure they will settle in, at least I hope so, or it is going to be a looooong season for dad. Anyhoo, we’ve been taking Delilah to the park every day, even when it rains like crazy.
Wait, I can just walk around? All by myself?
Where the 2 year old ladies at?
So it’s been hard without my mom around, and I can’t wait to see her, but all things said and done, it hasn’t been as hard as I imagined that it might be. Dad says she’ll be home tomorrow at some point, so we shall see how well the last day goes, but I think I get to hang out with my Me’mere while dad does that whole disappear for the day thing so I’m sure I’ll have a lot of fun. Finally, in summation, and in true dad fashion, he forced me to sit in front of the camera while he flashed a really bright light in my face which he likes to do from time to time. I was messing with him, but he still enjoyed the results, so… until next time, stay cool.
Sure, I'll smile for the camer.. PSYCHE!
Love,
Finn
Looks like the two of you are managing beautifully. I can only imagine how eager Rachael is to get home to the two of you. I’ve been thinking about and missing the you both, so it was especially good to get the update and adorable pictures of each of you.
Thanks,
for the update.
Love,

Just loving this update! The little fella is napping as I write, Dad did do the go away for the day routine as expected, and Mama will be home soon. I am loving having the day with this little munchkin here in Portlandia…..not sure what the rest of the day will bring when he wakes up….but whatever it is, it will bring on a party of a day for me’mere!
This little handsome fella is just growing so much, I know he has his grandparents heartstrings strumming! I bet he missed his mom a bunch, but know his father kept
those little legs running. Then to have his Me’mere come play, I’m sure that made
his day & of course hers also. Of course he must have been so happy when his
momma arrived home after the first separation, I know that was hard on Rachel, but
hope she had fun whatever she was doing also. Miss you all, hope I get to see you
little Fin before you get any bigger! Love Belinda & C.J too
