Families Are Forever

Conner and Sariah finally made it home late Thursday night! It is great to have the family back together. We have been adjusting to Conner in the home. It is always a little crazy the first few days as we figure out how to care for him in his own way. So far, our biggest challenge is getting him to eat without projectile vomit. Otherwise, he is doing great.

You may notice a little red in his hair. It looks like he might share Tanner's auburn hair color. We love it.

We have been blessed so much with Conner's good health and relatively quick recovery. We scheduled a follow up heart cathater and surgery for April. It will be a much more complex operation(s). The important thing right now is for Conner to grow. This helps the surgery(s) to come. We also need to keep him from getting sick. That should be a good challenge with our socially active family.

So what do you do when life brings you a several weeks of severe winter storms? You play in the snow. The kids made a snow man...

...on the roof! As you might imagine, Sariah was still in CA. I was boss for the week and things got a little fun (I mean out of control). Kids were jumping off into 3' of snow from 12 feet and loving it (I mean endangering would-be generations of Finch kids).
Whitely turned into a polar bear.
We made a very spacious fort in the back yard. It is 154 sq. feet home with the main entrance on the southern exposure. Room for a dad and 5 kids. We wanted indoor plumbing, but with warmer weather expected this next week, we decided to save the pipe.
I honestly love the snow and the beauties it brings - but remember, you don't get snow without the storm. Opposition in all things...
