snuggly morning

My two snuggle bugs
 
 



Vail, CO

It was the perfect trip.  A destination that is so charming all on its own but add a beautiful wedding and amazing friends, Vail CO was "sparkly" as Todd would put it.   While Connie and my parents watched Elise (she had an amazing time, THANK YOU!!!), we took our little guy and spent four nights in Vail celebrating Beau and Tammy's wedding.  It has been years since we've done a group friend's vacation of this sort and throughout the whole weekend I was wishing we would do this more often.  
 


First night in Vail
 


Charis, Julie and I took a gondola up to 11,000 ft (mid-way) for a drink and lunch.  The girls then went on to do a snowshoe while I headed back down with Finn due to a little altitude sickness.
 


 
 

 
 Beautiful bride to be
 
 




 
This is us taking the local bus to the wedding venue... during the entire commotion, Finn puked all over a couple on the bus dressed in fancy clothes, needles to say they had an extra souvenir to take home that night. 
 


 
Can you tell we are two crazy dancers who just loved letting lose:)

Finnegan: 4 months

Our sweet little boy is 4 months old and is growing and changing every day.  Though a week or so late with my tradition of monthly updates, here it is.
 
 
You are such a sweet, gentle and laid back little boy.  You smile and cooh so often and even give out a little gurgle and giggle in excitement, especially when you're tickled under the folds in your neck.  You are a trooper at daycare where Nickii and Val take care of you.  You've even outdone yourself and actually take a bottle, unlike your sister when she was your age.  You continue to be a night owl, waking up every 2-3 hours at a time, but you do fall back asleep very quickly, so thank you for that.  You snuggle all the time, especially from 3am to 7am and if you could you would sleep pressed up to your mommy all night long.   Your sister adores you and you love her right back.  Right before bed, you lay with her on a pillow in the corner of your room while we read books or sing; she won't have it any other way.  We just got back from your first vacation to Vail, CO and you did fantastic.
 
Love you so much sweet little Finnegan.
 
Just had your doctors appointment today the 11th of February and are doing great.
