just cuz

someone got a cute (yet serious) photo of cousin caroline....

aunt jane

so, aunt jane has a way with both of our kids. our family has a lot of respect for jane's skills although i probably don't say it enough. we really look (ed) forward to jim and jane's visit because we know how much jane has to offer our kids and because we like jane too! here is an example of aunt jane's awesomeness with the fin.

jane chills with fin while we do stuff (create wind blocks, create more wind blocks to light grills to cook food, cook food, go for walks with vera, head into the dunes, take a short swim in the ocean, eat food, hang out with vera, etc...)

 one of those moments.....

the many faces of finley

this one is all about quantity, not quality..... although for the most part, the quality is pretty great.


thanks uncle jim, who took 99% of these photos. note to self, close ups of my kid's face are pretty awesome.

fin and great grandma

fin visited with family at great grandma's house.

smiles

the moment you have all been waiting for.......

our fin is smiling quite a bit these days. i like it. jess caught some smile action on video. if i get a chance, i'll look into posting.

Soon enough my man, you too can stand around staring at fire. soon enough......

 i think our friend nina grabbed this photo. she has an eye for nonsense, tomfoolery and general shenanigans.


for now, we'll make sure to hold you tight while we hang around fire.

finley's first fire

stay warm little buddy
