What does a 17 month old do???

Beach Finn

Busy is the first word that comes to mind. He is talking more and more every day. His most recent words are, "Here killykillykilly" (for Here Kitty Kitty Kitty), "WOW", "Uh-oh", "NO", "WHALE" (the "L" very enunciated), wahisthis (for What is this), and more! He is running everywhere, not walking. He loves the garden and all the flowers, especially ones he can pick (we are working on just smelling them). He walks around everywhere waiving and saying HI to everyone like he is a super star (so social!). He's finding out that ice cream and popcicles are REALLY good! He thinks airplanes, big trucks and snakes are super cool too (yup he's a boy alright!). He loves playing with the neigbor kids or at the park. He loves water and his little pool. He is just so much fun right now! I am loving him up all I can before I start school. Everyday is something new and exciting and so cool to see it all through the eyes of a 17 month old!

Our latest travels were to LA for our friends Dave and Shelley's wedding. It was amazing! We all loved the sea air!

Here are some pictures from the Redondo Wedding and here are Lindsey's photos from the wedding.

Next weekend, the Ozarks with Nana and Pa...

Our Busy Summer

It seems like we are just go go go this summer, well we are! Last week we spent a week in Minneapolis with Amy and the boys, while Steve and Jason ventured to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Finn loved playing with a couple "big brothers", Doug and James. And I just loved being with my best friend. Jason and Steve saw moose, fishers (in the weasel family), river otters, loons and other exciting wildlife. Here are some pictures from the girls trip and here are some from the boys trip. Now as the madness continues, we prepare for our trip to L.A. this weekend for our friends' Dave and Shelly's wedding.

Kayleigh's Wedding

This past weekend I watched my oldest niece get married. It was a wonderful wedding! Finn was the ring bearer and Jenn and I sang. Kayleigh is now happily married to Trent, and we love him! Welcome to the family! Click here for more wedding pics.

Today we say goodbye

Today Finn's great, great, uncle Glenn Nabb passed. We all got to say goodbye and hold his hand for one last time. He was a wonderful man with the Nabb wit and charm (as well as some Nabb feisty-ness). He lived 94 amazing years on this earth...we will cherish his memory forever.
