Summer of Finn

It's been awhile since I've posted anything and my only excuse is that we've had a very busy fun filled summer. But don't worry, we've taken lots of pictures to document the last few months so I'll do my best to recap and post some of the best pics. One of the highlights of our summer was going to the Cape and spending time with all the Cavoli clan and extended family. In mid July we had a mini reunion with a bunch of aunts, uncles and cousins on both sides of the family. It was a blast for us to meet some of our cousin's new children and Finn had a blast hanging out with the other kids. He
also loved being read to by his cousins Emily and Brenna.
Another highlight of the summer was that Brian got to stay home with Finn and have lots of daddy days and adventures. He's back at school now and is a sad about his daddy days ending. We all feel lucky though that they had those days together and all 3 of us had four day weekends together as a family. And best of all, we can do it all again next summer!
The biggest milestone for Finn is that he started crawling this summer- right around mid July and our lives have never been the same. Actually it's a lot of fun and he loves exploring everywhere. He's now pulling himself up and climbing stairs - keeping us on our toes for sure.
Both Finn and Brian had a first this summer. They did their first road race together (see the stroller picture above). It had potential to be a lot of fun - 5K race right down the street from our house. Unfortunately, there were thousands of runners and many of them kept cutting Brian and the stroller off. And then Finn cried for the last 10 minutes of the race. We'll be looking for less crowded races in the future. We are now excited for many fall New England adventures.
