Future Profession: Rock Star

He partied, then he slept.

Zoned Out, Watching TV, and Holding Hands

How sweet.

I've really noticed that Kinley and Finn are forging a relationship lately. Finn's been really affectionate with her this week, giving her kisses, hugs, and including her in our games (She's Boots when we play Diego and Dora). It's really cute when she's taking a nap and he asks me where she is. She is pretty in love with him too. She loves watching him play and doesn't even mind when he starts pulling on her. But she IS pretty easy going anyway...

Finn's First Day at Gymnastics

Finn started gymnastics today. We were all very excited. He's taking it with his friend Noah, and even though they aren't in the same class, they are there at the same time and can still play a little together! It was really cool. Finn's teacher, Miss Sara, was really great with all the kids and didn't mind that Finn likes to wander. I think Finn might even have a crush on her! Anyway, it was super fun and we can't wait for next week!

End of Year Wrap-Up

How can I begin to describe 2008? It was PHENOMENAL! Above all, I realized just how lucky I have it this year. As everything came sort of crashing down all over the country, I just felt so thankful for all that I have--My kids, my husband, my family, my friends. It amazes me that you really NEVER STOP LEARNING! I've learned a lot about what it means to be grateful in 2008 and hopefully I can always apply that and keep things in perspective.

Here's a few pictures of us at the beginning of the year. Finn was such a baby still!:

And here he is now (so big!):
