Finn and the City

This past weekend we took a trip to NYC to visit our friends Lin and Geoff. It was so much fun seeing them and catching up. Finn enjoyed walking along the Hudson and chasing birds, as well as trying his hand at chopsticks. He even made friends with a lady who was walking a cat on a leash. Yes, you can see it all in New York. Lin and Geoff are expecting a new addition in May. We can't wait to meet Baby J.

Chopsticks anyone?

I'm not sure if he was eating a lemon or an orange. Probably both.

Since it's been so cold here lately, we have had to resort to indoor activities. Which is another way of saying we are all driving each other bananas. So, I let Finn try his hand at finger painting, even though the box of washable finger paints said "for age 2 and up." Obviously there is a good reason for the age recommendation. Finn was more interested in how the paint tasted than how it looked on paper. We now also have a nice blue collage on the wall and the railings of the gate are covered in blue paint. But didn't the pictures turn out cute?

This video was posted on Dooce, a website that I follow. I laughed so hard I almost fell out of the chair. Since I know many of you are dog lovers I thought I would share. Have you ever had a dream that was so real when you woke up you were almost certain that it actually happened? This video is proof that we aren't the only ones it happens to . . .

Finn's Bromance

While we were in town, Finn was able to pay a visit to his friend Wade. Finn loved playing with Wade and his toys, dogs and eating his chicken nuggets. I didn't take any pictures, but Kriya did, so enjoy hers.

A Walk in the Park

Finn and I spent a week with my parents while Mark was working in San Diego. We had a great time seeing our friends and family. Finn was spoiled by his Big and Baa and Aunt Lindsey--he was treated to ice cream, homemade pancakes with whipped cream on top, new toys, trips to the park, bike rides, a visit with his extended family and lots of TLC from some of his favorite folks. He even made the trip in to Atlanta for a manly playdate with his buddy Wade (while his mom visited with Kriya and got some emergency dental work--Thanks Dr. Beau!).  

And I must give props to the Philadelphia Airport and USAir . . . for the first time in a really long time, our flights were relatively on time and pain free, which is not usually the case. Although, Finn begged to differ when the security agent made him take off his mardi gras beads before going through security. 

A fun day at the park

Look at that million-dollar smile

After much cajoling, they BOTH face and smile for the camera

A great picture, minus the work of local "artists"

Although he had many new toys waiting for him, 

he preferred playing with sticks and rocks
