..your first friends..

dear finn,

who knew it was possible to have friends even before you were born?! i knew it was! clear back in october, shortly after we announced that we were having a baby, two of our friends announced they were having babies too...and the weirdest part of all - we were all due within a week of each other! a few weeks later we all found out we were having boys! since then we've known you were destined to be friends.

mr. krew clark was born march 22. he came a little early. i had a doctors appointment scheduled while they were still in the hospital, so i went a little early so that i could stop by and visit baby krew and jen. when i held him i was so amazed with how tiny babies are and it made me so excited to meet you! krew is so stinkin' cute...you two are for sure gonna be head turners! a couple weeks later daddy and i went and visited the clarks at their home...that is when dad met and held krew for the first time. while holding him he rubbed my belly and said, "k baby finn, it's time for you to come out now." daddy couldn't wait for you to get here so he could hold you the way he was holding baby krew!

mr. max halverson was born april 7, and he is a little stud muffin too! max came a couple days early, but his mom and me were both convinced that you two got together in heaven and made a bet: who could stay inside your mommy's tummies the longest! you won, by the way, mr. "i think i will come a week late!" max lives in idaho so we haven't met him yet, but we hope to very soon! :-)

you have another friend that was born a couple weeks before you - locke phippen was born march 30. i was friends with his dad in college and they just recently moved to bountiful. the day before he was born your dad and i got together with them...his mommy is so cute and i hope we will all be good friends! locke is a handsome little man as well...you two will have no trouble finding girls to take to prom someday! and you are both good babies, too. we took you guys out to dinner at the spaghetti factory a couple weeks ago and you both slept the entire time! way to go boys!

your future wife is a little bit older than you, i hope that won't be a problem. brooklyn tawzer was born december 2, 2010. she is a babe, you two will have cute kids! ;-) after you are married of course. her mom is my best friend, and she was so excited when you were born! she came down all the way from logan to meet you when you were only three days old, and she cried when she held you for the first time. you've got a great future mother-in-law finn!

miss madi mcconnel is due to be born in the next month! she is gonna be a cutie also, but you'll have to fight krew and max for the key to her heart. ;-)

how lucky are you to already have so many friends?! it will be so much fun to watch all of you grow up together and i hope you'll stay great friends with all of them.

love you!

love,
mom
