finley-fest

we had finley's first birthday party this past weekend.  it included a live band (what can i say, finley has connections).  you'll have to harass jp to put finley birthday pictures on his blog.  here is vera rocking out. 

this is her "i'm really having fun" face ;) 

Beach day

Cloudy (rainy) day at beach, building a monster sand castle with friends...

4th of July sparkler fun

Sparklers were a big hit with the toddler crowd

cake

a few weeks ago nina made vera a birthday cake.  not on her actual birthday, but vera wasn't opposed to celebrating more than once... thanks for the pink cake nina!
