Sleeping Finlay

Sleeping Peensies are the best peensies...

Gingerbread house

We needed instructions off the Internet, one family crisis and most of that case of beer to get through the building of this (Ikea) gingerbread house... Quite a bit of assembly required! One of us enjoyed himself though.

The madness continues

Finlay is going to grow up to design cars, conceive of innovative urban planning solutions, or become a parking attendant...

The Walking...Finlay

Scary Finlay for Halloween 2012

Finlay breakfast

More of a morning person than his parents.

Best godfather ever!

Sort of a cross between Keanu Reeves and Dan Savage.

This was where the madness started

Dean and the first load of new cars... Finlay's favourite car was a VW Passat (which James probably remembers well). That was far too bourgeois for Dean's taste - a whole load of Ferraris, Porsches and Mercedes had to be acquired, along with various trucks, streetcars and construction equipment (to build the new high-speed overpass for the race cars...).

Special expertise

Here is one of Europe's top visual designers creating a new parking landscape for Finlay's cars on the coffee table and also contemplating Frederick the Mouse.

The rise of the cars...

This is before Dean and Grandma Cathy arrived. Especially Dean. And before the cars multiplied. And then took over the apartment.

Not in bed yet.

But at least in his French
pyjamas. Sept/Oct 2012.

This is what it looks like

When Finlay listens to Deadmau5.

Finlay and Gruffalo

But who is who? Here with his grandfather, Jupp.

More Finlay (hello Dennis!)

More Finlay... Here in September with his great grandmother Anneliese (now according to Finlay "Annekrise") at his aunt Susanne's wedding.
