Finn Riding his Bike

Julien's Next Stage of Crawling

The Boys are Growing!

It has been a fun spring so far. We have been enjoying the weather, visits from friends and family, hiking, and a couple trips down to Palm Beach. Sean is officially finished with classes and is now working on finishing up his paper (which is a step below a thesis). He graduates on May13th!!!! We are very excited to celebrate this accomplishment.
Finn is such a blast. On my spring break we had a "mommy/Finn day date." To start the day we went out to breakfast, then headed to Do Art (a place where you can paint on pottery), out to lunch and then finished the day at the movie theater. Conversation with him keeps me entertained and amazed.
Julien is changing daily. He is on the move. In a matter of a few weeks he has grown new teeth, started crawling, lifting up on everything he possibly can, and beginning to imitate sounds we make. It is so amazing to watch. He still smiles like crazy and it is infectious to all those around him (even the gruffly old men we pass around town).
Our future is still to be determined. Sean has applied to a ton of jobs, interviewed with a few and now we are waiting to see what doors will be opened to us. It is exciting and scary at the same time.
I hope that you enjoy the new pictures and videos.
Finn is really great with Julien

Finn loves exploring with Sean on hikes
