Finley is not quite four months but I wanted to get in an update before the end of the year. It’s just craziness that I have been a mother for this long! Finally, this month (mostly) everything has fallen into place. Finley had his post op check up and doesn’t have to...
A couple of weeks ago we had some photographs taken by the very talented Andy Turner. After I had some maternity photos taken I knew I wanted to capture some special photos of our family while Finley is little. We’ve got a great package with our photographer where we...
