Some Family Photos

Our lovely friends the Deans took these pictures for us this fall. They were taken here in Denver at Cherry Creek Park. The last picture is their little boy Eddison. Him and Finn are quite the little pals... And I hope it stays that way. Eddison is almost a month younger than Finn and Finn is the runt as you can see. We're hoping Eddison will protect him when they grow up!

First time meeting Santa

Jesse was down in Fort Collins interviewing for residency on Thursday so I thought it would be fun to have Finn's picture taken with Santa and surprise Jesse when he got home. I am not sure if Finn liked Santa or not. He was either tired or terrified but he didn't cry until the very end when mom bent down to look at the pictures on the computer screen and Finn bawled his eyes out on Santa's lap. But the picture turned out pretty cute!. Enjoy.

Interviews and Holidays...

A quick note to let you know that we are alive and well. I am sure that the mass amount of people who read this have all been worried sick. Jesse has had interviews over the past few weeks and we have been visiting family in between. It has been crazy and we are only about half done. We took a total of zero pictures over the past month (although the camera and video camera were lugged along with us on our road trip) so here are a couple of somewhat-oldie-but-goodies:

A Couple of Firsts

Finn had his first Trunk-or-Treat this past month as well as his very first birthday! Crazy that it has already been one year. He is loving this little walker/car thing and used it to make the rounds for candy. Luckily, he doesn't understand the whole Halloween thing so wasn't too upset when we didn't let anybody give him treats. Grandma Kris was in town to help out over the weekend and party with us. She did a great job of spoiling Finn (and us) and she was a good sport about Finn waking her up in the mornings by crawling on her face. Finn's 1st birthday went well. We will post some video of the cake event later. He got lots of fun stuff that makes lot of fun noises. We can't seem to get all the music out of our heads- The Learning Guitar song, the Farmer Tad and His Banjo Song, the car noises, Mowing Grass song, etc.....

We got the gorilla to smile, but Finn was too distracted.

Simpsonized!

Killing time on the Internet is one of our favorite pastimes. This was a promo for the Simpsons Movie and was quite the rage many months ago. As usual, we are behind the times so we just got to it. Here is the link if you are interested: http://simpsonizeme.com

ROCKTOBER!

Here are a few pictures from the recent Rockies game. This town has gone bonkers over the Rockies lately and going to the playoff game was incredible. World Series tickets go onsale tomorrow- wish me luck!

Before the game just outside Coors Field.

Just before the game got started. We sat on the purple row-the mile high row.

The flag and smoke from the fireworks. This is about the time that the temperature dropped 20 degrees in 10 minutes.

This is a picture of Finn's bum in Boulder, getting a fresh diaper in front of the courthouse.

Finn's First Halloween Costume

This is Finn's second Halloween, but because he was in the NICU when he was born this is technically his first official Halloween where he is all dressed up!

Finn was so fun to watch as he was getting his pictures taken.

They turned out pretty dang cute!
