Halloween

Every year, our neighborhood has a Halloween festival. Kids go trick-or-treating at the local businesses, they can decorate pumpkins, and it's pretty much mass chaos!! We went with a bunch of friends this year and enjoyed a beautiful afternoon outside. Finley dressed up as a "Fifties Girl" complete with a poodle skirt.

At the beginning of the afternoon...Fin started out a bit stunned by the crowds!

Finley and Dorothy (Emma) checking out their loot.

Studying the train set in one of the store windows.

Heading back south to meet none other than ELMO!!!

Seriously, this kid LOVES Elmo. Every time she ran up to him to hug him, we started laughing.

Fall is Here

Here are some recent pics of Fin....she's doing great, and talking up a storm. She even spent a weekend on her own with Dave while I spent a couple days in Denver visiting my friend Lindsay and her gorgeous son, Jack. Amazingly enough, we all survived being apart although I missed her (and even Dave) like crazy!

Here she is hanging out in the neighborhood, our very own tree hugger.

Fin loves her new rain boots so much that she insists on wearing them even when the sun is out.

We spent an afternoon playing at Pump It Up, where Fin had a blast bouncing around on all the equipment.

No, she's not a sumo wrestler...it's just a souped up wearable blanket with legs. I had to take a pic so I can remember how goofy she looks.
