Finley's Future Husband

Zane Jr was born on Tuesday, October 27, 2009. He is perfect! Zane and Karen are going to make the most wonderful parents. We were so lucky to be there for their wedding and they are one of those couples that just exudes love between them.

Miss Finley cannot wait to meet him and neither can I. Methinks a trip down south is in order...

Now officially, the most loved bear in the world

My dad got me Fuzzy bear when I was a little girl. Finley spied him and loved on him so much. It was adorable.

She also took her first step towards me today. It was a really short one and she lunged to grab me as soon as she made it, but it is still a huge deal!

On another huge note, Zane Jr is almost here. Zane and Karen are at the hospital. We cannot wait to meet him!

Party, Pizza Party

Finley and I had a spinach pizza party! We made thin crust pizzas topped with spinach since it is one of her favorite foods. She loved it.

First Light Rail Ride and First NFL Game

Finley had another huge day today, with her first trip on the Houston Metro Rail and her first trip to an NFL game. This was not her first football game, that honor went to the #15 Houston Cougars last month. I didn't get to go to my first NFL game until I was 25 years old, how lucky is she to go before her first birthday!

She was the only baby I saw at the game and the only stroller as well. Thank goodness we had the stroller Auntie Kristina gave her, it folded up perfectly and stowed under our seats. I won the tickets from 1560 The Game. I also won tickets to Finley's first basketball game from The Game. Finley is their youngest and most loyal listener! Finley with her Rail Pass. Well, technically my pass since she isn't old enough to need one yet!
Waiting for the train.
Boarding for her first train ride. Mind the gap!
This train sure is crowded!
The train ride wore her out! Once again, she hasn't napped at all. So at least she caught a 15 minute cat nap on the walk to the game.
Go Texans!
Enjoying a snack in the second quarter.
What a view!
YAY! Go Texans, way to beat the 49ers. Two wins in a row and we are above 500.
Waiting for the train...

"I am not sure how I feel about it...
....I love it!" Coming from our family, how could she not?
Off the train for the walk home.

First Fashion Show

Finley and I went to Neiman Marcus to watch Riley in the Mary Poppins Children's fashion show. She was so excited to see Auntie Carrie and Auntie Becca. We wrapped up our girly afternoon with lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. The only bad part of the experience is that we are once again napless....sigh.


Riley, she did fantastic!

Yummmmmm, lunch! This was right before she winked at Ben. Such a flirt!

Playgroup Halloween Party

Finley has had no naps today, but she has had a ton of excitement! The first photo session, Finley had someplace to be.
She's still the only one not willing to pose.
"Hey, where did everyone go? I am ready for my photograph to be taken now"
Photo session number two.
It's like a tennis match....look right...
....look left....Sarah, the sugar plum fairy, Oliver the cowboy, Chloe the pink poodle, Brielle the chicken and Finley the giraffe
Such cuteness!
