Finn rejoices that he made it to Connecticut!
Wyatt and Mimi in action...
Finn got to play with Cousin Jake with some toys!
Uncle Sean tries to decipher the directions on a new toy for Wy...
Hanson and Baker men!
Wyatt has a big smile on his face, with his favorite thing - basketball!
Finn and the tree...
The weekend comes to a close, so everyone headed back to the train station!
A wonderful weekend on the road - thanks Mimi, E Pa, Sean, Des, Jake and baby Cole!
The tree is up! Wyatt's first tree at home.
"Guys, I love our holiday card so much, I want to smash it in my face!"
The tree...small but tasteful!
We headed outside for some fresh air and running!
Finn, in a moment of reflection...
Wyatt, on the teeter-totter.
The boys chase each other around...
Finn...looking more and more like a big boy every day!
Hope everyone is having nice pre-holiday time!
And Finn...cute!
And Wyatt...tooth brusher!
The boys...look at that drool on the chin! Captured in 18 megapixel glory.
What a mug!
"Daddy, we like the new camera!"
Can't wait to learn more to use it and take great pics over the holidays!
Some jumping jacks...
And picture-posing!
Our team was ready!
Well, for a nap anyway...the Bakers ran the whole way, in for a respectable time of 34:05!
Paloma/Charles/Sebastian, post-race!
After the race we headed to the grocery store for some last-minute dinner supplies...
Then Erin did some cooking! It was an Italian feast.
Everyone hunkered down and tied on the feed bag!
And Wyatt, fresh from his nap, got ahold of the spaghetti sauce!
On Friday, Finn and Erin hit the ice skating rink. Finn had a ball!
Then took a seat and watched. Unfortunately, the photographer didn't catch Erin's impressive triple salchow, or quadruple toe loop. Darnit! You'll just have to take our word for it.
Off we all went for a walk through the zoo! Lovely weather, lots of critters were out.
Finn finds a rare stone bear!
And the elephants were out, too.
It was a great thanksgiving weekend! Running, feasting, skating and zoo-ing!
These people are neither on fire nor able to actually levitate.
A little taste of Asia - no real dragons were hurt in this parade.
Lowlight/Highlight of the parade - Ye Olde Ford Model T breaks down in the middle of the street, so parade onlookers had to push it!
Next stop - a birthday party! Finn "checks out" the cake - look with your eyes, not your hands, Finn!
Finn revels in the thought of sugar and icing coursing through his veins soon...
Mommy makes a cheesecake for Finn's "Harvest Lunch" - so Finn samples the whipped cream. Hmm...I'm sensing a trend here for Finn's taste...
Delicious.
Daddy and Mommy visited school with Finn to watch him sing a little and share some food!
The Baker Bunch - sans Wyatt, who was home napping.
Looking forward to a nice long Thanksgiving Weekend!
Finn had a pre-school pajama day!
And Mom got to go to school in PJ's too!
Sebastian visits for a playdate with Wyatt!
On Saturday, we got wonderful weather and went to Finn's last soccer practice of the season!
"Go Royal Blue!"
Wyatt likes climbing the hill like the big boys!
Dad's in goal - nothing's getting by him!
Finn checks out his new medal for the season...
The team picture...watch out Real Madrid!
Sunday was Finn's 4th birthday...so we had a "Yoga Party" at a local studio, with a class for the kids...I don't think I've ever seen 18 kids have so much fun!
Wyatt joined in the festivities, too!
"Guys, I really love Yoga. Especially the part where we all lay down on our tummies. No wonder they call this the Child's Pose!"
Cake and snacks for all!
Happy Birthday, Finn!
