Trip to the Japanese Garden

It was a beautiful fall day here in Seattle, so Melissa thought it would be a great idea to take a trip to the Washington Park Arboretum and see all of the great fall color. We ended up finding our way to the Japanese Garden and had a great time walking around in the sun and snapping photos of this amazing landscape this time of year. Enjoy!

The Bear Suit

Last weekend while out shopping we went to a Carter outlet store and Melissa saw this cute little onesy with little bear ears on the hood that would be good for Finley when we take outdoor excursions. So here she is in her cute little outfit we call the "Bear Suit"





Here are a few other random photos from the past week.

6 Weeks Old

Well Finley is 6 weeks old today. She is eating a TON and sleeping better and better. She's starting to sleep in 4 hour blocks which is making her mother very happy. :) She's also starting to hold her head up on her own and grab onto her toys. It's amazing watching her grow up so quickly. Here are a few photos from the past week.

Notice the word on the TV behind her...how appropriate.

1 month old

On Friday, Finley turned 1 month old. So in celebration, Mom, Aunt Heather and cousins Lily and Aidan headed up to the Pumpkin Patch near Standwood. Here are a few photos from her big day. Enjoy!

Finley's Halloween onesy

Cole was jealous that he wasn't included in the blog, so we took this picture to appease him. He feels much better now.

Kisses from Dad

She loves the nightlife.....that's why she never sleeps during it.

Meeting Grandma

Well, Finley finally got to meet her other grandma this week. Barb, (Chad's Mom) flew in from Las Vegas to spend a few days with Mom, Dad, and Finley. It was great to see her and for her to have a chance to meet and spend some time with the granddaughter she shares her birthday with.
