First Christmas in Nassau

Finn celebrated his first Christmas with his Bahamian family and friends. We got off to a rocky start; he had a 102.4 fever for the first few days, coupled with ear infections in both ears and a sore throat and to make a long story short it turned out that he had a bout of 'roseola', which ended on Christmas day with a lovely red rash all over his little body. After that he was completely fine.
He was happy to see his Pops again, and Ashleigh, Tia Kirsten, Annika and Kassia, and he met for the first time Bruce and Bianca, and lots of my old friends from waaay back at St. Andrew's School.
Of course I was dying to let him loose on the beach, and let him feel the water and sand and let him get in touch with his Bahamian roots...yeah, he started crying when we dipped his toes in the water and lets not talk about the sand sticking to his fingers. The horror. We'll just have to go back soon and fix that right Rog?

Vermont Birthday

This past weekend, Finn's friend Jackie's daddy celebrated his 40th birthday up in Vermont near Killington. It was a big surprise, expertly coordinated by Gloria, lots of friends, babies, kids and dogs, not all evident in the pictures but nonetheless true. Finn checked out the mad skills of all the other kids that were there and decided he would learn how to crawl.
Maybe next time he'll be on skiis.
