Fupdates (finley updates)
running, dancing, impersonating babies.. she knows lots of colors, we count to ten (mostly saying "two" with different inflections for the other numbers:) - counting to ten is absolutely one of the best tools I use - it lets her know we are almost done or "there" or whatever. she tells you when she is hot or cold. very exciting news is that is she is starting to make full sentences. "Papa read book!" (though it was Uncle Jim reading that book - sorry Craig) She also curiously scrunches up her face and says a lot of things in what I think will be her real speaking voice though even I have no idea what she's saying. she says "please" which is VERY cute. she also grabs as many fingers of your hand that she can in a death grip and takes you for a Walk! - you go if you want to keep those fingers. what seems to be on her mind a lot of the time is what Murray is up to and Elmo who I am still kind of on the fence about but am grateful for when I need him so I can make dinner or whatever. Craig has been gone for a few days and is back today, yay!!! My grammar suck in this post and I don't care!

Colorado Craziness
To start things off we have my brother Scott and his lovely bride-to-be Debbie who we will see again in a couple months at their WEDDING! So cool... Thanks to these guys for all the airport pickups and drop-off, we would have had a much more complicated time without you!!

I love the group photo before everyone thinks the photo is happening - don't you? Craig, Finley, Jim, Liz, Anne and Nana!

My little (HA!) brother Shawn and his wife Kristen, my niece Sabrina and nephew Evan. They couldn't make it to Dillon, but we saw them in Colorado Springs though briefly:(

My good friend from junior high, Cheryl and our girls... Her girl, Kendall is exactly the age we were when we met. Bizarre!

Look very closely and you can see Craig running down the road (at 9,000 feet above sea level.) Impressive.

The condo had a play pen from the 70's - she wouldn't sleep in it but liked to throw herself around dramatically.

No offense to the family, but the most relaxing place has to be, hands down, Gracie and Lori's fabulous new house in Monument. I can't say enough good things about it. Here we are watching some Sesame Street and doing some hair.

A view in Dillon - one of the most beautiful places in Colorado. Thanks to Aunt Anne, my family has great memories there.

I love this video with Anne though I wonder if babies ever get tired of being performing monkeys for adults!

Colorado Bound
Kelli's DreamTrailer in Montauk
On her first trip to the Hamptons (and my second), Finley and I spent two days at my friend Kelli's trailer in Montauk. A tiny slice of heaven in a surfer's paradise. Finley literally spent the whole two days going "WEEEEEEE!" what with the beach, waves, swings, and convertible car rides. Not to mention the sublime excitement Mr. Edison, Kelli's Boston Terrier.

Silas Loyal and Baby Feeeee!
Baby Cousins! They are close in age and look even closer because Finley is such a GIANT and Silas is such a wiry little wisp of a boy. Anyway, they deserve their own blog because the camera was just on them much of time. She is still walking around going "heh, heh, heeeh" - his wickedly funny little laugh.
The Chicken Pie Shop - my new favorite place to eat in San Diego. This is also a continuation of the photo project of S&F in diners.

One of my very favorites, ever.
