Last week, I got a wonderfully unexpected phone call. My Uncle Perry called saying he would be near Boston the next day after a job interview and would love to come visit us before he had to head back to the airport. Hooray! Finley and Dagny have gotten to see a lot of their extended family in recent days but Perry lives in the Carolinas, I certainly didn't think they'd get to see him for a while!
He arrived while Dagny was hanging out with us and Finley was still napping. Perry is a father of two girls, so he knows what we are in for with Dagny (but thankfully he didn't tell us too much and frighten us!).
When Finley woke up, he was a bit out of it and "desperately" needed a snack so we sat at the table with some watermelon and pretzel sticks. Finley was interested to learn that Perry is Granddad's brother, who knew Granddads had brothers?! Finley began to come out of his shell and then it was time to open presents! Finley's little buddy Darwin had dropped off some gifts for him and Dagny and the excitement ensued when the bubbles came out of the gift bag!
Finley's still working on his bubble blowing skills, so after a few tries he asked me to do it.
These were great bubbles and Perry encouraged Finley to try and catch them with his mouth--let's just say that Finley took that idea and ran with it!
