Finn's first wedding

Finn went to his first wedding in Marathon Key, FL. It was my good friend Kira's wedding. Finn had a blast since it was all outside at a beautiful estate with a big yard that included a Bocci ball court and putting green with sand pits. It was not the most relaxing event for Mom and Dad though since Finn is always on the go and we basically chased him around the whole time and made sure he didn't fall into the open lagoon in the middle of the property. :) He sure looked cute though all dressed in his tie and khakis like his Dad.

Florida!

Finn went on his first big vacation to Florida last week. He had lots of firsts - his first plane ride, first hotel and first zoo. He loved all his new adventures except for the long car ride from Vero Beach to the Keys and sleeping somewhere different - he decided that he wanted to wake up 1-3 times every night and then be up at 5:30 in the morning. But it did mean we got to see some beautiful sun rises over the ocean. We traveled with Nana and Poppa and visited Auntie Jo and Uncle Brian and Finn's cousins. We also visited with Aunt Rosi and Uncle "ick" one of the weekends. We are now definitely ready for spring and warm weather. Finn just wants to "walka walka" outside all the time now.

Christmas and winter pics

I'm a little delinquent with posting photos but here's a glimpse at our 2 Christmases with both families and Finn on his new sled enjoying the snow!

Finn finally walking!

Watch out world - Finn is walking! He took his first steps without assistance a week before Thanksgiving and ever since he's getting braver and braver and walking all over the house. All he wants to do now is walk everywhere. It'll be no time before he's running!

Happy Halloween

Finn loved his second Halloween staying awake a little more for it. As you can see, he was a walrus. He came into EF for the Halloween party and I dressed as the zoo keeper. He crawled all over the office and met all my friends and co-workers. He was his usual silly, happy self and everyone loved him. For Halloween night, Brian, Finn and I just gave out candy with our neighbors and hung outside until we got too cold. The walrus suit really came in handy on that cold night. Finn didn't really go trick or treating but Brian brought him down the street in the wagon to show off his cute costume to the neighbors.

Fall fun

Finn loves playing in the leaves in the back yard. We'll see how helpful he is when it comes time to rake them all! He's doing great though very ready to start walking on his own. For now he "walks" everywhere pushing his toys and holding onto furniture. He also never stops "talking". he has so much to say - I just wish I understood him. :) He does say a few words now - da da, ma ma, truck, ball, up and a variation of balloon.

Oct Deveney Cape trip

For Columbus Day weekend this year, Brian Finn and I were joined by the rest of the Deveney clan at the Cavoli Cape house. It was absolutely beautiful weather so we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Brian and Steve ran a 5K race on Sunday and the rest of us watched and then checked out the local fall festival. As you can see, the boys really enjoyed the rides which were designed especially for little ones. Finn and Tyler play really well together and I can just see them becoming best buds as Finn gets a little older.
Finn was a lucky boy that weekend because he got to see both sets of grandparents when Nana and Poppa came to visit on Monday.
