BABY OLYMPICS STARRING FINNEGAN ‘N KEEGAN

Hi Folks,

It’s been awhile since you’ve read about our newest accomplishments. At 19 months we’re really on the go. We’ve been training since Christmas.

SLEDDING

We still need someone to pull us through the snow, and we hang on tight. Our Dad runs fast, but gets winded. (Too many Big Macs) We’ve made it around the block and back without falling off. That’s a definite Bronze Medal!

HOCKEY

The big guys use hockey sticks and pucks. We use anything available. Just the other day we used Liam’s Davy Crockett Pop Gun to hit Matchbox cars across the floor. They really went zooming. Not worth a medal, but good training.

SNOWBOARDING

It’s just a matter of balance and jumping. We do that all the time. We climb up on the couch, from there to the end table, then stand up and jump to the next couch. Applause! Applause!

CURLING/HURLING

Well Keegan had beautiful, blonde curls until Mom got us little boy haircuts. I’m Finn with straight hair. That’s all we know about curling.

But hurling is a whole different story. We can hurl with the best of them. Sometimes at 3 a.m. I can hurl to the middle of the room and wake Mom ‘n Dad up crying. They always come running. Dad has to strip my crib and re-make it with fresh linens while Mommy gently rocks me

It’s a Silver Medal feeling!

We also hurl balls, Elmo, our blankies, Papa’s Waterford N.D. football, Fisher Price people, water toys and just about anything we can get our hands on. O! we almost forgot! Food! We really can hurl that, and our dog, Baloo, loves it when we do. He just runs from high chair to high chair.

SKIING UP HILL

The Olympian skiers are awesome. Swish, swish, swish and they’re down the hill. But have they ever tried skiing up a hill? Now that takes talent. See our bedroom is on the second floor, which means we’re learning to climb up 17 wooden stairs. You would think the Mom ‘n Dad would carpet those stairs, just for our knees, for heaven’s sake. But No! So twice a day we climb upward. We push each other, compete for space, and try to be first to make it to the top. Me, Finn, I’m 10 pounds lighter than Keegan, so lots of times I get there first. But other times my bro is elbow to elbow with me all the way. When we reach the top, we cheer! Go for the Gold! And we do.

Well that’s it from Vancouver, um St. Charles. Look for another up-date soon. We’re proud to be Americans and happy our parents bring home the gold, money that is.

U.S.A! U.S.A.!
