HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY, OLIVER!!

It's hard to believe, but Oliver was born this day last year. Happy first birthday, Oliver! I'm looking forward to your birthday party this weekend!

Thank you to Nana and Granddad for clothes and books!

Thank you to Grandma and Grandpa Finnegan for the blocks, movie and table setting!

Kings of Leon in KC!!

Best Concert of the Year!! Lindsey and I were lucky enough to get out and see Kings of Leon at the Uptown on Friday night. I saw the band about two and a half years ago and made it a priority to see them again whenever they come through KC. I'm glad Lindsey got to finally go see them; I have been raving about the 2006 concert ever since I went. I was afraid I set the bar pretty high for these guys, but Lindsey and I were not disappointed. I can't wait to see them again! Thanks to David and Emily Evans for watching Oliver! Oliver, I promise to take you next time!

Setlist: Closer; Crawl; Taper Jean Girl; My Party; Molly's Chambers; Slow Night, So Long; Fans; Revelry; Milk; Four Kicks; Wasted Time; Sex on Fire; The Bucket; On Call; Use Somebody; Cold Desert; Trani. Encore: Knocked Up; Charmer; Black Thumbnail

Oliver's First Steps

Oliver took his first unaided steps last night. I was sitting on the love seat and Lindsey was on the couch. Typically when Oliver is done visiting with me, he'll crouch down, turn and stand up to span the short distance between Lindsey and I. Last night, however, Oliver waddled for a couple steps to reach Lindsey.

Happy New Year!

None of us made it to midnight CST this year...
