SANTA'S SUBSTITUTE

When Santa needs to go feed his reindeer, apparently Finley is more than willing to fill in for him. Here she is at Phipps keeping Santa's seat nice and warm for him.

LIFE IS SWEET

As 2019 slowly comes to an end, one of the words that comes to my mind over and over again about 2019 is adventure. Finley, you make all the twists and turns worthwhile. I'm truly having a ball with you.

TAKE YOUR TIME

THROWBACK ALERT: Skeptical Finny, taking her time and assessing this whole swimming pool concept. Thanks for the bathing suit, Aunt Cassidy, we love strawberries. 

Finley, on this day, you and I sat on the edge of the pool for about an hour...and we finally ventured in, you were so ready. You can always take your time with me.

FRIENDSHIP

One of the many magical things about being Finny's mom, is watching her build and develop relationships with people. Her love for Lev keeps growing and growing. As Finny would say, "Lev, is my friend."

The box that pap-pap built is still going strong...

Levie, is this an alligator or a crocodile?

Lev sharing his love of music to his favorite audience, Finny.

Let's work together to fill up this bucket!

1, 2, 3 go!

FINLEY QUIZ: Readers, guess what Finley's favorite color is?

ANSWER: PURPLE!

ARE WE THERE YET?

No trip to and from Washington D.C. would be complete without the obligatory car shot. This time though Finley did not nap. Gulp!

ON YOUR MARKS, GET SET...

GO!!!
One of Finny's favorite activities during the holiday breaking, playing "chase" with Gideon and Isaac, of course.

No cheating, Finley!

And they are off...

Isaac is coming on strong after a delayed start!

Wait, we have to run back? Again? and Again...and Again?

Finny's in the lead!

Don't forget to hydrate! (then can we play chase again?)

THERE'S A TIGER ON THE LOOSE IN WASHINGTON D.C.

Finley had a blast during her visit to see her cousins for Thanksgiving. She even got to creep around the National Zoo in her tiger costume and ride the Carousel. Guess which animal she picked...

Grr...hold on tight! 

Vroom, vroom, push me Miles and Giddy!
