Of Course...Christmas Pix

Happiness is a bad Christmas sweater picked out by Mom...


Ye ole obligatory bow shot


Finnie likes early Christmas

So, you say this dude with 8 flying reindeer brought me all this stuff?

And the bonus shot....Dad doing bathtime

For Reference

No official word on Finn's latest size, but according to my Finn-size-o-meter he's grown a lot since his last appointment.

Hello, Ladies.

Baptism

Finn and Uncle Matt

Good thing we got that baby baptized.....because from the looks of things, he's got a little devil inside.

Just picture this

Going to be a long day...

(to truly appreciate this one, it needs to be enlarged-click on the picture...)

Look at How Big I Am

So, this is not an exact science, having the baby hold the inchworm toy...but you get the idea. Finn was 23 1/2 in. at his 2 month appointment.

I Like Smiling...It's My Favorite.

10 Weeks In

Wee Finn has now been with us for 10 weeks - and neither of us can believe how fast the time has flown by. However, like all parents, we feel blessed to have such a precious bundle in our lives...and are amazed each and every day at the amount of sheer joy he brings us.

Though we have also noticed that his sleep "schedule" has started to take its toll on both of us (and, by schedule we mean that he sleeps randomly and with little regard to Mommy or Daddy's schedule, time of day, or location). Shockingly, Tamara and I have begun to break down a little-and get tired/cranky ourselves.

To illustrate how bad this has gotten, I post two pictures below...

This one, on our wedding day (seems so long ago already):

And, this one (taken in a recent quiet moment after Finn finally went to sleep):

As you can see...it doesn't look too good for T and I (although I don't look too much different from the way I normally do).

College can't be too far off, can it?

Our New Arrival!

On August 15th, 2007, we welcomed the newest addition to our very new family. Finnegan Edward Clark was "born" (actually, reluctantly pulled) into this world and our lives. He has been happily showing two very busy people the valuable lesson of living without clocks ever since...

Above are a few first pictures...we will try to post regularly so all can catch a glimpse of our wee lad...
