Finley with his new friends...

During the weekend of July 17 - 19, the church put on a 25th Anniversary celebration for my mom and dad being at Grace. It was very exciting! And, of course, Finley got to meet all of our family friends who came in for the weekend. So here he is with Mr. Ted DiBiase and his wife Mrs. Mel and then with Coach John Fox and his wife Mrs. Robin.

I tell you what...this kid is spoiled! And since that weekend - he wants to be held all the time. That's okay though - he's our sweet baby! We cannot wait for him to meet more of our friends!

GGUB

Well here is where Finley's name came from. This is my Great Uncle Boyd Finley from West Virginia. He is my granny's brother. About 2 weeks ago he was outside tending his cattle and decided he wanted to come meet Finley Leo. So, he got in his car and drove to meet him. He came to the church office, sat and talked to him for about half an hour and then left. Finley loves his GGUB (Great, Great Uncle Boyd)!

Our summer baby

Just wanted to post this picture of Finley in his sunglasses and swimsuit.

Here he is playing on his ocean playmat. He is getting ready to learn to scuba dive wth Nonnie. Finally she will have a scuba buddy.

Buc...

Buc, Buc, Buc... He is one of a kind. He had a rough time when Finley first came. He is getting used to him though and loves him dearly. This is his new sleep position that he seems to really enjoy. It is most amusing when he begins to dream and kick and flail his legs...don't you just love him! (Eventhough he is a little overbearing at times...)

The Many Faces of Finster

Life with a 5 weeks old baby is interesting. Things that are normal daily events - such as taking a shower - that just don't happen. But it is a great price to pay to have such a wonderful baby boy. He is so much fun! We love taking pictures of him and playing with him. He has started to smile when we talk to him or tickle him. We are only having one issue - we think he has acid reflux - so please be praying for him. We will get him checked out at his next appointment. So hopefully the doctor can fix it. Other than that he is wonderful! He smiles and coos and sleeps wonderfully - 8 hours last night - our new record! He makes the most funny faces too... If you have not met him yet - we can't wait for you to!

The Photoshoot

OK so this is sad... I thought that after having Finley I would bl0g, blog, blog. And, I was wrong! Life is a little crazy with a baby! But it is so much fun. Of course , having to come up to the church to my parents house to blog is a little difficult at times. But here he is, beautiful boy.

We had a some photos taken on July 5th by our friend Sue here at church. She did an amazing job! Enjoy! Everyone is doing well and we are loving life.
