Finn's first haircut at 12 months

Mother's Day at the Zoo

To celebrate mother's day the three of us went to the zoo. It was Finn's first trip to the zoo and he was really into everything. The great thing about the Woodland Park Zoo is that in many instances you can get fairly close to the animals. Finn really focused on some of the simpler things at the zoo, but he really liked the giraffe that got about 15 feet from him. We didn't take any pictures of the giraffe becasue we didn't want to scare it away. Finn and it were having a real moment.

We took a pit stop at the food court. Crows were on watch for fallen tidbits.


This beautiful wolf was just pacing back and forth. It's not exactly Yellowstone.


Finn was really checking out the gorillaz.

Finn's First Birthday (pictures)

Finn turned one on May 4th. We had his party on Saturday and it was great. I would like to thank everyone who came to his party and also those who sent him birthday wishes via mail. Finn really enjoyed when I read him all of his cards after the party. Finn turning one is so huge. The fact that we've made it this long is a pretty big milestone. He's still alive and well and we are still functioning on a fairly high level. It's also good because now Finn is sleeping through the night. Interestingly enough, it only started on May 4th. Before then he would wake up at least once a night on a regular basis. I must say that he is the man! So onwards and upwards and thanks again for all the birthday wishes.
