Watching the Birds

Fin LOVES birds. He gets so excited when he sees them and can't stop pointing and smiling. Here he is watching the birds from the beach.

This is the way we use our legs

This Just In!!!

One of the most adorable videos ever shot, without question. Please excuse the bum and applaud the dancing.

Happy Birthday Finley Edwin Hocking-Groves!

Fin turned one on the 17th of November. We had a couple of celebrations for him including a mini-party with a few friends and cake last weekend. He was born at 7:19pm and shortly before this time we went up into the woods behind our house and built a fire. We counted down the minutes until he was born and sang Happy Birthday as a family. We hope to make this a yearly tradition.

More Ontario

The fall leaves were beautiful and we had some nice long walks while in Ontario with Grandad Paul. Here are some lovely leaf shots and others with Grandma, Grandad, Great Grandad and Cousin Sophia.

Aunt Nikki!

Fin had a great time hanging out with Aunt Nikki in Ontario. Here are some pictures of them together.

Peekaboo

Fin has learned to be the initiator with games of Peekaboo. He will lift up his shirt to hide and pull it down. He also peeks through the glass on our french doors and then peeks around the corner at you. This picture captures a sweet moment.

Hallowe'en

Fin and I were in Ontario for Hallowe'en. Fin dressed up as a lion and posed with his third cousins. The tears show that he wasn't so sure of all the excitement that ensued (but he sure was cute).
