Finn spent this past weekend with his grandbaa (my mom) while Mark and I went to DC to scope out neighborhoods and ride around our future home. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of their time together, probably because mom was too busy spoiling him to take any. But I'm pretty sure he didn't mind.
I have to say that I am more excited than ever about our move to DC. It is such a pretty town and there is so much to see, do and explore that I can't wait to get started. It didn't hurt that while there we found ourselves across the street from where the Obamas were dining on their first "date night." WHILE THEY WERE THERE. We saw the motorcade, the Secret Service blocking the street, the throng of people waiting and Mark even caught a glimpse of Michelle, although I didn't believe it at the time, his description of her outfit was spot on. Had I known this, I would have been elbowing my way up to the front of the pack. Anyone that knows me, knows I'm a sucker for celebrities.
Other than that whole moving thing, we are getting ready for our trip to Hong Kong. Mark, Lindsey, Mary Daniel and I are leaving on Sunday for our big trip. I'll make sure not to kiss any pigs while I'm there. Finn will be staying with the Lyles' clan in Sumter. I can't believe I won't see him for 10 whole days. I can't talk about it anymore because I'm getting verklempt.
I also have some sad news to report. Today, we said goodbye to Lily's longtime chew toy and inspiration for my original blog, Jimmy Chew. He was a good chew toy and I know he is in chew toy heaven right now. I can't believe that toy has lasted as long as he did, but then again, Lily knows a good chew when she sees one.
These aren't really new pictures, but they are pretty funny, so I'll share. Finn has really developed a strong attachment to Lily. I'm pretty sure Lily would see it differently. She probably thinks he has developed a strong need to annoy the daylights out of her all of the time. In his new favorite game, he takes Lily's toy or in this case stick, away from her and then tries to get her to chase him to get it back, which she does, and then he takes it away again, and so on and so on. To him, it never gets old. Lily disagrees.
Pssst. Lily, don't you want this stick?
It is so much better than yours.
Fine, I'll just take yours
Why are you making this hard?
Quick, look over there
Come and get me Lily
I just love Lily's expression in this picture
It says "there better be a warm bed, belly rubs galore
and a steak with my name on it waiting for me when we get back."

Oh no!!!! Farewell Jimmy Chew. Rest in peace with Monkey Skull, Chicken Torso and all the other lovely toys of days gone by. We're about to say good bye to Big Mama. That will be a sad sad day.
