Happy Birthday, Grandma Pat! We love you and miss you very much. We're waiting for when we can be together again. Have a wonderful birthday, and my thoughts are with you today even if I am not.

This is gross. Seriously, people, there is more to life than shopping. Speaking of shopping, what the fuck is with Christmas being retailed in August? I like Christmas as much as the next person. I like buying and receiving presents, putting up a tree, decorating, the lights, the yummy food, but I really do not need it to begin in August. Seriously.

We have progressed to hanging out on the Elmo chair together, and things have never been cuter around here.Hand-holding! Well, actually, Finn is using Rosemary's hand to push the buttons on the remote, but whatever, it's still cute.

And here, Finn is...um...licking her head. He does give kisses too. She definitely prefers the kisses. "Quit licking me Finn!!"

Dylan thinks she looks like a cabbage patch doll. Perhaps he is onto something.
