Labor Day weekend seemed to creep up so quickly and as we checked the calendar, we realized Finn had achieved his half a year milestone! Pushing 17 pounds now, he is chowing on apples and bananas, soon to be introduced to sweet potatoes and other vegetables.

We were fortunate this week to have a good friend come visit us and we all were able to relax at a beautiful hideaway in Maryland called Gibson Island. It was a bittersweet trip as Paul and his family are moving from NYC to Sydney Australia so it was a bon voyage to him before his family hit the road on their new adventure. I am grateful Paul was able to meet Finn.  We look forward to Finn’s trip sometime in the next year or so to Australia to visit Paul and see the rest of his Aussie roots.
