Happy Birthday Finn!

A day in pictures (and one video), in no particular order:

Cousin William, often called 'Un-Nick' as is every tall thin person we are related to.
Mama and Daddy, two years later... do we look any older? Perhaps more tired...
Grandma & Poppie having girl time while the boys play (does it get more adorable or loving than this?)
Grandad in an old church on a cool beach walk
The cleaners were in the house so we had to drive the littles around until they finished. We got lost, on purpose.
Issy the dog, who is the same age in her brain as Finn. They play like a Norman Rockwell painting, complete with the pulling-on-the-diaper image
A birthday boy, ready for the beach. NOT going to fall alseep in the car.
Cornish cream tea, a new favorite. You want to melt a heart? Have an adorable 2 year old ask for 'cream tea, yah? cream tea, puleez!' Clotted cream has broken my 'no-dairy' diet. Just this once.
Beautiful Cornwall. A perfect place for a boy who loves to dig in the sand, a mama who loves quaint little seaside towns, a baby sister who loves to be carried snuggled against chests and a Daddy that loves to be home again.
Swimming at the end of the evening. One of the main ingredients in the recipe to a good night's sleep for both boy and parents.
An old church on the beach walk that the boys discovered. The girls were exploring a little village a ferry ride away at this moment...
Kids asleep in the car. A tiny, quiet country lane. A quick stop for a kiss, it's been ages (aren't we wild? I guess this is where the bar is set when 1000's of miles of travel, a newborn and a toddler all merge on a couple)
Digging. Need not say more.

Oops. Fell asleep.

  1. What a sweet series of your family! The photos of Nick and Jenna together, Poppie staring up at her grandma, Finn on a walk with his cousin, the English seaside + digger. . . all wonderfully evocative images to look back on in years to come. Looks like great memories are being made!
