Finley is my guage of how long we have been in Missoula since I was at the end of my pregnancy with her when we moved here. My friend, Danielle, was the first to welcome us to town at church and with play dates. We just said goodbye to Danielle tonight as they move to New Mexico tomorrow. She's one of many friends who have been moving away recently. It's always so sad and meloncholy a time to say good bye to dear friends. I do think that someday heaven will include being able to spend time with all our friends from everywhere all at once. Teleporting, I suppose? Back to Finley's birthday on the 17th. She had a rainbow cake last year and requested the same this year. Hope and Avery decorated these bad boys.
The day before her birthday she was rocking these goggles. Tonight she was having a rough time and crying pretty hard during prayer time. It was Avery's turn to pray and our tradition is to go around the group to say what we love about the person praying before that person prays. She was still hysterical when it was her turn, but she still yelled through her tears "I love Avery because she's nice!" It was really funny.
Birthday morning gifts. We wanted to have a casual party at the river, but weather didn't allow it, so we had a little play date that week. This is Finley's swimming report card from July that makes me laugh. "Sometimes very silly" is an understatement. Her latest favorite joke is to put her butt on my arm or leg or anywhere on my self and push out a fart. Then she'll laugh and laugh. She's very silly and we love her!
