Just a Walk in the Park

On Wednesday, Grammy, Grandad & Finley walked to Hermann Park. We enjoyed a lunch at "Little Bigs," lakeside. Then the fun began...with Olympic spirit, Finley challenged the pigeons, careened across the hills, scrambled over the obstacle walls,and sailed down the pathways with joy and abandon.








It's great to be a champion!

Beautiful Butterflies!

Grammy & Grandad took Finley Anne for a walk to the Houston Butterfly Center. It was rather a sentimental journey as Katie & Clifton were married there almost 5 years ago. Finley was mesmerized by all the flitting butterflies, and she was delighted with the walkways through the leafy jungle. What a memorable and amazing afternoon!

Playtime

Finley spent the morning playing with 2 colored straws. The afternoon found her enjoying more conventional toys: an apron, dishes & a kitchen... both brought laughter and delight.

Happy Valentine's Day

Finley wishes all her friends, family, and her Mommy & Daddy a Happy Valentine's Day! Thank you Max for the heart treats, and thank you Ryan, Aunt Sharon & Uncle Al for the cards.

Going to G-Ma's

Finley left on Friday to spend a couple of days with G-Ma. We packed her bags, and she was ready to go!

Rainy Day Play

It was a dreary, rainy day in Houston on Thursday, but we kept the fun going at home!

This one's for you, Mommy!

Finley latched onto a photo of her Mommy and carried it around, clutching it to her...just look at that face.

An Afternoon at the Museum

No dinosaurs came alive, and we did not talk to Sacajawea, but oh what great fun Finley and the old folks had at the Children's Museum! It was a dreary afternoon, so it was brightened by taking the high roads and low trails at the Tot Spot. Finley giggled through bubbly water and glowing colored pegs, doors and tea sets, and Grandad even played Husky dog by pulling eskimo Finley around and through all the exciting fun.

Window Wonder

Finley has discovered the huge windows in Katie & Clifton's room. She has spent much time gazing out the window...queen of all she views.

The Replacements

Katie and Clifton have flown off to paradise, so Finley will be spending time with her grandparents, aka Grammy & Granddad. We are super excited, and we will let everyone know how the old folks and little bug are doing via the blog.

A New Toy

My parents arrived on Sunday. Now Finley has everything including the kitchen sink! Decked out in her new bug apron, she spent time "washing" dishes and her hands. Cute!

Super Sunday

Finley screams, "Saints Score! Yea!"

New Chair Fun

We got two new chairs for the Ms Pac Man machine. Finley had great fun playing in them!

Clifton and I are headed to the Maldives and London for a couple of weeks. My parents are coming to town to watch Finley. I wonder if I can teach them how to post a couple of blogs while we are gone?
