Somehow, it has been eighteen years since Finnegan arrived on the scene. Neither of us is quite sure how time flew past so quickly, but here we are, staring down his impending high school graduation and journey to college!
He’ll always be my round-cheeked squirrel, my little butter-blond Finny – going to preschool, then learning to ride a bike, learning to speak Spanish, and anticipating his first day of elementary school. We have had so many great adventures with our boy, and watching him grow into a kind, witty, whip-smart, athletic, and thoughtful young man has been such a treat.
I won’t torture you with a full-length slideshow of his whole life…we’ll just focus on some shots from the past year, which has been chock-full of adventure!
