Thankfulness

We have so much to be thankful for this year!  Stuart has a great job at the University of Notre Dame doing what he loves.  I have what I think is the best job -- raising a cute, sweet, intelligent, caring, funny little guy.  We couldn't be more proud and blessed to have Finley in our lives.  He makes us smile, laugh, and really see life through his eyes each day.  We're all healthy and happy living in South Bend.  We take time for ourselves and as a family.  We cherish every moment we can and capture them as often as we can.  Here's a peek at our Thanksgiving week:

Uncle Peter was nice enough to do a family photo shoot for us at Grandma and Grandpa's house.  We really needed a good family picture, and we got quite a few.  Here are some favorites:

It's All Greek to Me

YOGURT, that is.  I love Greek yogurt!

Pint-Sized Picasso

It's painting day!  I must admit I love the look of our little man in a smock.  He has the best time being creative and messy.  Can you tell his favorite color is blue?

Family Zoo Day

Soon the zoo will close and the weather will become much colder.  We decided to enjoy one more outing at the zoo while the weather was just a bit cool.  Don't the Jones boys look adorable?!?!

Snip + Suck

Today not only marked the first snowfall of the season in South Bend, Finley got his first salon haircut (I previously trimmed just the back, more on that here.)

 Finley has also been a great helper around the house lately.  His favorite chores are vacuuming and sweeping.  He would clean all day if I let him...and if he actually cleaned.

15 Months old

Happy 15 month birthday to our little man!

Toledo Zoo

Momma took Finn to the zoo today, zoo today, zoo today.  Momma took Finn to the zoo today, wish we could have stayed all day!

We headed to Toledo, OH to spend the day at the zoo with Auntie Rachel and cousins Rowyn and Jaymisen.  We had lots of fun seeing the animals and having a picnic lunch.  It was such a busy day, Finley fell asleep in the stroller on the way to the parking lot.
