Grandpa's Winter Visit!

We were SO fortunate to have the long, grey Warsaw winter broken up by a visit from Grandpa!  Now that he's retired he has some more time to come and we were grateful he made the trip.  Finn showed grandpa all his favorite toys and books and even introduced him to a few of his buddies!  Tom and I were fortunate to benefit from Grandpa's babysitting services and were able to get out for a couple of date nights.  We also took him to the new Musesum of the History of Polish Jews and to the Jewish Cemetery in Warsaw....both very cool places! Over the weekend we did a mini road trip and went to Southeast Poland to the cities of Lublin and Kazmierz Dolny!  They were both cute little towns and Finn especially liked that our hotel had a swimming pool....he got to take Grandpa swimming.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing the joy that Finn and Grandpa bring each other. It was such a very special visit and we can't wait for Mimi and Grandpa to come back in a couple of months!

9 Months

Finn celebrated 9 months returning from his first big trip to the states!  We fought some serious jet lag and his first tummy bug, but all seems to be back to normal now and he's so playful and fun!  He's still on the move and getting better and faster as time passes.cches also started to really enjoy standing with mom and dad's help!  We love our little guy!  You make mommy and daddy SO very proud!

Finn's Inaugural Visit to America - Part III

We headed back to Chicago to ring in the New Year with friends and celebrate Mary Alice's birthday before heading back to Warsaw.  We had a small open house for our Chicago friends and their families to meet Finn.  It was so great to see everyone and catch up.  Finn also got to meet two special people:  Grandpa Davis and his GiGi (great grandma).   It was a great way to end a very special trip!  Thanks to everyone for taking the time to come see us and for your generous hospitality while we were home.  Finn had a great welcome trip to the good ole U.S.A!
