Long Time No Post

Wow... so its been a while since I've posted an update. A couple of months have gone by-- which means lots of changes in the world of a one-year-old. I realized the other day that I also haven't picked up the camera but once or twice in the past month. We've been trying to video a bit more and if I figure out how to post video-- I've got a great one for you.
These photos are back from the beginning of June... my grandma ("Granny" to Finley), Aunt Shelli, Uncle Scott, and cousin Andrew came to visit from WV. My grandma had not visited Florida since about 15 years ago so it was such a treat!! Above is the first day they arrived. My mom is reading Finley a book she bought for her for her baptism. It has the "I love you Stinky Face" story in it... one of Finley's favorites.
Also, I should point out that I picked her up from baby school the day my family flew in and noticed one of her earrings was gone. There was a note that they found the back but not the earring itself, so not wanting her to be lop-sided, I took the other one out when I got home (more on that later). Hence, she's earring-less in these photos....

Below is Finley and Aunt Shelli (my mom's sister)... Aunt Shelli is crazy fun and her and Finley always get each other cracking up...



Here's Granny and her Finnie...


This one is a little out of order... but this was Finley's face when Nana brought her out from her nap to show her everyone was here...

Finley playing peek-a-boo with Granny...



Below Finney got her first taste of custard-- and many more tastes after that :)

We all spent a day at the beach... we had a blast. This photo is after we took her water-logged diaper off because I didn't put the swim diaper on... She's getting so tan even with her baby SPF 50 sunscreen. Her Aunt Shelli is very jealous.

Out of order again... interrupting the beach photos for some photos of Finney and her presents from her Aunt Shelli and Granny. Aunt Shelli got her this tent "salon"... so cute!

Here Aunt Shelli and Finley in the tent reading the Nursery Rhymes book from Granny.

Grandma and I at Bradenton Beach

Finley and Aunt Shelli loving the sand, the sun and especially the surf!

We loved having them here and looking forward to heading their way for a visit and family reunion in October!
