Some Amateur 3 Month Pics of Finley

I took a few pictures of Finley so we would have some of her at 3 months as I do of both Emerson and Cameron.  I really love the pictures, especially the ones where I caught her beautiful and happy smile!  :)

Enjoy!

Fall & Holiday 2015 Memories

I am so far behind with my blog posts and I see that it is actually mid September, (2016!!) and I have yet to publish this post that contains all these wonderful images from this past fall.  (And THIS fall is upon us, so I am a WHOLE year behind! Ahhh!)

Seeing Finley so tiny in the first picture brings back wonderful memories.  It was such a special time for us as we adjusted to being a family of five.  Things couldn't have gone better and we had a great time enjoying the holidays.

As I can't feasibly post every picture here, this is obviously just a sampling of the joyful moments we shared.

Uncle Glenn came to meet Finley and spent Halloween with us.   We took some sweet family photos for our Christmas card last year, thanks to Justin and Alyssa's help.  And I tell you, I love, love, love those sweet photos.  So special to have the pictures of us for Finley's first Christmas time.  We had an early Christmas on our Chandler side, which was filled with so much happiness and gifts galore.  Our kids are always so spoiled with all kinds of fun toys and it is a lot of fun to see their glee when they open all their gifts.  We were in Austin over Christmas with MomMom and Glenn and it was also magical.  We enjoyed the New Year's Eve service, made cookies, left Santa some cookies and enjoyed the Christmas morning together.  As typical, the morning after Christmas I went shopping to take advantage of the discounts in the Christmas section at Dillard's! After returning home and opening more gifts (geez, I am seeing a theme here... we have a lot of gift giving!) we went to the Gaylord Texan for the first time to see their decorations and have fun with the activities there.

This doesn't completely cover everything in as much detail as I would like, but I am learning it is ok to cut a few corners here and there.  And clearly, I would have to really do some thinking to get too descriptive with events from so long ago.   I can't wait for all of the holiday fun this year, which is truly right around the corner!
