Finley's Aunt Caitlin

My kid sister, Caitlin, had to work really hard to see Finley this weekend. She got stranded at the Newark airport for hours on Friday, only to go back home to Manhattan and return before dawn to fly up to Boston. She saw him for a little bit Saturday morning and then after her camp reunion in NH, came back down on Sunday only to have him nap for over three hours and miss see each other completely. Ug. Thankfully, in Finley's case, her flight home was delayed and she turned her rental car around to hang out with us for another couple hours. He woke up when she called to say she was coming back and by the time she arrived, he was ready to play. He hadn't seen Aunt Caitlin in about two months, but you would not have known it! His "KK" (since Caitlin at Beth's house is called KK) got right down on the floor and the two had a blast.

Finley showed her how he likes to snuggle with his penguins on his blanket and pretend to go to sleep.
But things got goofy from there!
Finley with Arty and Caitlin with Agent P, it was a good old fashioned wrestling match! Then, Aunt Caitlin showed Finley how these flightless birds could fly and they both fly them around a bit before crashing into each other.
Finley was so silly and energetic with her, despite Dan and I both being in the room! Unheard of! The girl's got a gift :)

They tried out the racing ramp and built some block towers before heading out to the sandbox with Dan while I got dinner ready.
Caitlin took some pictures, too, so if she sends me them I will add them ASAP. Voila:
One of my favorite things to see if Finley bonding with people that are special to me and yesterday was quite awesome in that regard.

See you soon, Aunt KK! We love you!
