Happy Birthday Uncle Mick!


Wish we were there to celebrate with you! Really. We wish we were there. But we wouldn't want to fly there, we'd like to be teleported. That would be awesome.

Have a great day and pardon my lame Marines sounds at the end of Finn's song!!

Car Snooze

I really enjoy taking photos of Tess when she's asleep in her infant carrier.

new haven fun

We went to Connecticut last weekend, had a GREAT time and fulfilled our goals of seeing old friends and pretty foliage. Here are some photos of my friend Marla's birthday party on Sunday. What i miss most about living there are these friends and their girls, who are all Finn's age. I look forward to watching them all grow up, even if we only get to see them every few months!

Lucy was so full of hugs.

Lucy and Finn, with tiger.

Jillian's giant tiger is the envy of every toddler.

Tess, rocking the pink beret!

Train Time

This is one very tired toddler.

We are home from a 4-day road trip to CT and decided to stay in for the morning. Finn has shown some interest in toy trains lately and we decided to set up his trains from Granddad from holidays past (for the first time). Upon seeing them out of the box Finn exclaimed, "(gasp) This is the best train EVER!!" My mistake thus far seems to have been setting them up pre-nap adjacent to his crib.

Here he is gnawing on the fire from the City Rescue set, after saying "Tess, be gentle to the fire."

ah, fall...

This weekend was sooo beautiful, we had planned on going to a festival or two in the area and then, well, we didn't. Partially because Finn had a minor case of the sniffles and also - because we didn't have to travel far to enjoy the season! Papa and Mimi's pond is so beautiful and the big hickory tree in their backyard had shed just enough for us to demonstrate the joy of a good leaf pile.

such a sweet photo.

a prime photo op.

leaf pile pile-up!

Sigh. I'd SURE LOVE a Marines sweatshirt.
In the meantime I'll wear this ARMY one ;)

Nature Nap

It was inevitable, I suppose - a beautiful morning, the calming lull of a walk through the woods...

Today is what I imagined that living here in Autumn would be like, and it's gorgeous!!

Let's get some nature

We're out for a walk at Spencer Crest and this is what Finn keeps saying - so glad he's not indoorsy like his parents!
