Shark Fin....

Sweet baby boy....

my little Fin.

I get asked all the time ....what is Fin short for.

Nothing.

Nada.

Zilch.

It's just plain and simple Fin....

not Finneous...not Finnigan..not Ferb.

{just seeing if you are paying attention}

Bryan actually grew up in Florida...and for some crazy reason...he thought

our last child should be named after a product of the sea.
{thank goodness we didn't name him Tuna}

Even though i always say that Fin was named after

Atticus Finch

from the book....'To kill a mockingbird'

our little Fin is really named after the thing on a shark....

that thing called a fin.

Anyway....

where was i?

Oh...

well... you see...
Fin has gotten his glasses.
He only needs to wear them for school...
but the sweet thing is...he's always putting them on.
We also thought he needed a little hair cut before his trip to Florida...
even though i love my wild hair..surfer looking boy.
The funny thing is...
i think he looks like Ray.

Remember Ray?
And no....i'm not talking about a sting ray...
i'm talking about a boy named "Ray"..
from a movie.
Does the name Jerry Maguire ring a bell?



I hope you had a fabulous weekend...
i fell in love with a movie we rented yesterday.
It's called 'An Education'.
It's a small indie movie..but oh so fabulous.
It has a girl in it that loves Paris...
oh...
did i mention Paris?
hmmm.
Yes..as a matter of fact...since you asked....
i leave on Tuesday.
I'm not even packed yet.
I've been loving on my family all weekend so i've hardly had a chance
to even think about packing.
err....
you got me....
my clothes are laid out...
but i've not done any packing.
oh...alright...
I think i'll go and pack now.....

I love the name Fin! He does look like Ray. I adored that little Ray in that movie- he was so stinkin' cute!
I've been wanting to see that movie! I think one of the actresses was nominated for an Academy Award? I will have to add it to my Netflix que.
You will have a fantabulous trip!!

I happened to see An Education last night too...and I have to admit I thought of you. It was an adorable film. I just loved it when she would suddenly speak french.
Fin is too cute for words.
Bon voyage Kasey!

Lisa@Pickles and Cheese said...

Fin is adorable and yes he does look like Ray! So cute. Thanks for the tip on the movie...I have been wanting to see that and oh yes, Bon Voyage!

Alli - Cottage Inspiration said...

Have an AMAZING trip! When you are deciding whether to pack that last pair of shoes, leave 'em behind. You'll need that one good excuse to buy a pair there!

Oh and that Fin, he's a handsome one! By the way, I was one of your readers who questioned how you have white furniture with kids . . . well, I took the plunge & am so glad that I did! C'mon over to check it out :)

traci said...

Melanie said...

He is so cute. My son had to wear glasses when he started first grade and he wore his hair spiked just like that.

Have a great time on your trip. Can't wait to see and hear all about it.

Preppy Mama said...

He is too cute for words!! I have always loved the name Fin. When I was teaching I had a Finley and I always loved "Fin". Enjoy your babies before you go and have a marvelous trip!!

Annie said...

He's adorable & I just LOVE his glasses!

Wendy said...

How cute is Fin! Could hardly believe it was him with that haircut, but I love it...and the seersucker suit? To die for.

Have an amazing trip...can't wait to see all your pics!

Gail said...

Oh my gosh he DOES look like the little kid in Jerry Maguire and Stuart Little. Such a cute little guy. ;)

Wishing you a fabulous time in France, Kasey:) Bon Voyage!

Stephenie from Decorating Addiction said...

He's adorable. Have a wonderful trip to Paris!

MommyLisa said...

Quite the handsome young man.

Cara said...

Your Fin is SO ADORABLE with his new haircut, glasses, and suit. My son's name is Finn too (we use 2 Ns), but his name is short for Finley (also spelled Finlay, and means "fair haired warrior"). Now that several celebrities have named their GIRLS Finley, we usually just call him Finn. ;) Adorable photos!

styling fabulous said...

fin is adorable...love his little outfit...

have a great trip!

Laura said...

I am back in blogland..and you are off to Paris

not fair

Anita said...

He looks so grown up...which is exciting and sad in the same mement...unless you are having another baby. But since you are off to romantic Paris sans hubs, probably not this trip :) Enjoy yourself, have fun, eat the ice cream and take lots of pictures.

Debra said...

He is so cute and I love his suite coat. I can't think of the name of the material but I've always loved it. We can't wait until you go and come back from France. Be safe have fun.

Unknown said...

I just watched that movie this weekend too. It was fabulous! I dream of someday going to Paris too; enjoy your trip:)

Farmgirl Paints said...

Get packin' girl. Have a ball in PARIS!!

Lori said...

He is adorable Kasey! Hope you got some packing done today and you found a spot for all your shoes! Happy trails to you ~ and bring sexy back!

Carmen @ Life with Sprinkles on Top said...

Oh my! He is such a handsome lil guy. I am loving the glasses. Too cute.

I just know your trip is going to be FABULOUS! I can't wait to hear all the details.

Sarah said...

I agree he does look like Ray! How cute! You must be thrilled to be heading out today to Paris!!! Have an amazingly fabulous time!!! You can't take enough pictures of the Eiffel Tower and its angles, different lighting and more. Although, you won't find things that aren't worth taking pictures of there! I sooo want to go back! : )

Patty said...

What a cute story about Fin's name, I'm still trying to talk my husband out of trying to give our soon-to-be-born son the middle name "Optimus", wish me luck ;)

Alicia said...

Ray....naw....he's soo much cuter!!!

paige said...

Tami (Pixeltrash) said...

Fin looks so sweet in his glasses. They are perfect on him. My little guy got glasses recently too. He likes them and I'm glad.

Have fun in Paris. NYC is in our future. The boys haven't been, so that will be so fun.

My friend recently named her little one Finn. I love the name.

Kari said...

So handsome... My little Liam wore the exact same suit for easter :) love target!

Seawashed said...

What a great name Fin(from the sea) and yes he does look like Ray.

I lOvEd that movie "An Education" too. We rented it, but now I want to buy it. I have two teen girls 18 and 16 that I believe this movie has a good message for.
