Mother's Day!

We had a fantastic mothers day!
We had a picnic in the park and I got to do all the things I love to do with my girl. Ever since being back at work I get very little time during the week with her and so it was truly a perfect day!





Pooped out!

Sorta' crawling

Our girl is moving and shaking!
Sometimes it's just 10 rolls to get to a toy she wants or other times it is an arms in front of her schooch, other times she is on her hands and knee's rocking back and forth-flop forward- do it all over again until she has moved across the room.
Here are a few pics of her in action- I love her different stages in this whole new territory! She is quite pleased with herself:)

Swim Lessons

Finnegan started swim lessons at the YMCA yesterday. She didn't love it at first but soon relaxed enough to allow herself to enjoy it. She was pretty stiff which made me laugh bc it was hard to get her to kick and splash! She went under a few times and was a bit shocked but all in all he 1st lesson was a success.








**We found out 10 minutes before the lesson that swim caps were mandatory- they had a few really pretty one's for us (found them after Gabe ran to the drug store to purchase some)

Happy Easter!

Baby Dedication

Today at church there was a baby dedication. Finnegan was a part of it, and it was so special to publicly dedicate her to God. It's also such a special time for the community as they commit to pray for our little ones. We feel very loved by our church family and are so thankful for our friends who pray for our sweet girl and Gabe and me as we strive to raise her in His love.

We each get the opportunity to say something to our babe and this is what we said:
"Finnegan Marie you are truly a gift from God and we love you more than you'll ever know and your Heavenly Father loves you more than you'll ever understand. Our prayer is that you follow Him and as you grow in your love for Him you'll grow in your love for others"

Here are a few pics of our little love
This when we were speaking to her:

Special play time with Uncle Andy

Picture Overload

Yesterday we spent the afternoon at the Brooklyn bridge Park and walked across the bridge. It was a beautiful day and it was great to be with family.
