More. More. More.

Many people have told us that Finley looks like a 'porcelain doll' or a 'China doll' and so her cousins (Sydney and Sadie) wanted to get a picture of Finley with all of their dolls at the house...












SO BEAUTIFUL!

Mom and Fin have some close up time

Still in the game...

Life is movin' right along. Busy as usual, yet making time to snap some great pics of life as we know it. It has been a big adjustment adding Finley to our life. There is not as much freedom for us to just pick up and go like we were so used to doing. Buuuuuuut, Finley definitely does not keep us from living / experiencing life to the full...

Finley is such a 'chill' baby for the most part...












Two weekends ago we went to Denton to see my folks and my dad's mom (Finley's great grandmother!!!). She is such a sweet lady. Four generations in this picture...












Mom and Dad in Hog Heaven!












One of my good buddies Josh McWhorter (he's single, ladies!) was an old YL Leader of mine in CenTex for many years. He is out of the Army and back in Illinois going to school. He came down for his Spring Break to meet his first niece... Josh is such a good friend! We laugh A LOT when we are together.












Josh is holding Finley while I attempt to clip her nails with a pair of scissors! I am deep in concentration while Josh appears to be a little skeptical... Since Charlie Sheen got kicked off his show, Josh, Finley and I are thinking about filling in for a few episodes.

Only the best, Clark...

We made our first roadtrip this weekend back to Killeen, Texas, so that Finley could meet our friends in CenTex as well as see our old neighborhood...

We stayed at Taylor's parents' house and got some really great time with some old friends of ours. It was great being back in Central Texas again. It is even better being back home in East Texas after a long weekend of late nights and somewhat early mornings.
I was the MC for the VLA (Vive Les Arts... the community theater where my mother-in-love works) fundraiser again this year. It was a good time once again!

Finley does really well in the car and was a delight to travel with thus far.

Below are some pics Taylor took when we got home this evening. I believe that our lil' Finley Claire TRULY is the Most B-E-A-UTIFUL 2 month old on this planet!!! It is without fail when people see her...the first words out of their mouth are, 'Look at all that HAIR!'

Only the best, Clark












Say what?












How are my feet so flat?












Mommy and Daddy are trying to figure out this whole size deal on my clothes... My outfit is for a 3 month old, yet I can barely get my hands through the sleeves and sleeve holes, but the place for my foot is larger than my entire body! I believe in Sasquatch...and Santa!












My (other) Brown-Eyed Girl!












Finley has started 'talking' a bunch lately. It is so crazy and cute! I love to hear her and Taylor carry on a conversation together.
While we were in Killeen today, Jensen and Hilary (Taylor's brother and sister-in-love) came up from Austin to meet Finley as did my eldest brother Wayne and his family. Finley had a great time meeting her extended family.
It won't be long before she meets the rest of the Russell Clan and woo's them with her sweet personality...
