| Grammy took care of Finn multiple times when I needed to leave and he was napping. Poor kid normally gets awakened from many naps to go somewhere! |
 |
| Kieran asked me to take a picture of him. He needs a haircut in the worst way! |
 |
| A little blurry but we love this little surfer dude. |
 |
| Grammy returning from another carriage walk with the baby. |
 |
| After getting Finn down to sleep, I come down to kids in mixed up swimming suits, using a plastic golf club as a gate to slide down into a wading pool of cold water. :) |
 |
| Kieran loves to "sword fight" with Sean. Even with toy shovels. With anything, really. |
 |
| The light was really low as the sun set but my camera still eked out a bright picture, though not completely crisp. What a doll baby sweet Finn is. He was without me for 4 hours today, a record for us. I had a dentist appointment and stopped by a friend's house in Waldorf. |
 |
| I couldn't decide which face I liked best. |
 |
| He did pretty well with a friend and then Adam while I was gone. When I got home, he was polishing off pureed squash. Took him about 60 seconds to start wailing once he saw me. <3 nbsp="" td=""> |
 |
| Finnian tried out the walker for the first time. He's taken a few steps already without help. So cute. Here, the kids were so excited about him walking! |
 |
| All my little ducklings. |

 |
| I almost never use a flash but it was that or nothing. Kieran looks like he's about to do some mischief but he's being silly. Sean was excited to discover that soot from a burnt rope might be what the American Indians used on their faces. |
 |
| Climbing a cherry tree in the dark because they can. :) |
 |
| 12 hours into the storm |
 |
| Finn and I were up early Saturday and watched a snowplow get stuck outside our house. |
 |

 |
| Mr. Finn is 9 months old. |
 |
| He crawls fast. He is just now starting to crawl up stairs regularly. And he finally is eating a bit of table food. |
 |
| Sean is LOVING the snow, of course. He had his first sleepover the first night! He's become good friends with a few boys. The 12 yo and 13 yo stayed the night here...they fell asleep sometime after midnight and woke up after 6 to go back outside! I'm going to go broke feeding them and Sean's not even a teen yet! |
 |
| John (Sean's good buddy with whom he talks about living off the land up in Alaska), Sean 2 (new friend that all the kids call Sean 2) and Sean. They're all homeschooled and live on the same block. |
 |
| Pea is loving the snow too! She took a bad fall the first day of the storm and Daddy rushed her to the ER. Large straight gash right in the middle of her forehead. I'll post phone pics eventually. |
 |
| 14" midway through the storm. Sean and John. |

| Sean 2, John, and Sean. |

| Across our street! |
