here's finn on the plane. remember these crayons- or well, i have mentioned them yet? finn loves them. my friend kelly- gave them to finn at her wedding earlier this summer. he can sit there & rearrange them for hours- which makes this mama very happy on a plane. doesn't he look like a big kid in his own seat!?
so we land, sarah-anne & the boys pick us up in albuquerque :0 thanks babe! we drive back to santa fe, play for a little bit & then i shower & get ready. we start on the drive which should be about 1.5 hours. i took the scenic route & arrived a few minutes before 4 thinking i was right on time! but, alas- the wedding was at 3. i've done this one other time for our friend kace's birthday party. i'm blaming it on pregnancy brain- what i'm not allowed to do that since i'm not pregnant anymore? well that's just not fair.
the reception site was amazing. rourke works here. lucky guy- in more ways than just that!
there were plenty of children there for finn to play with. this sweet lil girl caught his attention.
told you!!!!
isn't this beautiful!!! my girl lauren's got some taste!
the guy at the drink counter took a liking to finn. or maybe he just had pity for me since finn didn't stop moving for like 2 seconds. i'm eating & he's playing with him :)
this is valles caldera national preserve. you're driving up winding roads in the mountains & then all of a sudden the road curves & it's this. just. pure. beauty. for miles & miles.
finn playing in the field.
he was a total ham the whole evening.
during the very last ceremony of their wedding. washing each other's hands. it was so beautiful & emotional. they were married by a medicine man. it sounded very cool!
lauren & i. & finn asleep in the sling!
what a beautiful celebration lauren!!!!! congratulations, i'm so happy for you & rourke & lil babe on the way!& then we made our way back that night because a big storm was supposed to be coming in & i didn't want to be driving on those crazy roads in pitch black. the storm really hit once we got back into santa fe- i don't know that i've ever seen rain like that before. it was amazing- intense lightening, crazy loud thunder & the heaviest rain drops. i wished bryan had been there with us, because he would have been in heaven. finn slept through all of it.
the next morning we went for a little bike ride/walk.
sebastien loves his bike!
some of the time, then he wants to balance beam :) i love this photo.
& jump in puddles.
& then he started to realize that that meant he was dirty- so we jumped in one together so he'd know it was okay to be dirty.
finn trying out the skuut.
mama & sebastien.
this mama & finn. in a shirt that i made!!!!!! how cool is that. loving my sewing machine!
so. i had no idea that finn was watching sebastien & i earlier... he took that message a little too literal, but he had a blast!dare me?!
baby steppin it.
precious lil baby foot prints.
oh yeah.
meanwhile- those three were staying clean in the field.
splash splash splash!
what mom?
check it out. dirt!
simon & sarah-anne.
going hiking.
finn being coy.
finn didn't sleep either nights. i don't know if it was the altitude or too bright or what- but he nursed through both nights. the second night- he dozed off & on- so that was something. then he'd sleep in in the morning- lil turd.
this looks way more violent than it was, but simon & finn loved this stool.
dad & sebastien saying goodbye as we head to the airport to leave!
this was a hard car ride- both boys screamed the whole way- occasionally a toy would distract them for about 5 minutes.
sarah-anne dropping us off! thanks guys. you all are awesome & we miss you already!!!
p.s. while i was there we did a portrait session, since the last time we did one sebastien was only a week old! here's the link to that!
