This week’s photo-fest of Fin’s first year comes largely from a party we threw for him at Sunset Rec, an outdoor pool and BBQ park on campus. The party was a bit late for the traditional one-month party in Chinese tradition, but given the copious warnings about whopping cough last year, we decided to wait until Fin had his first vaccinations.

Not best friends yet, but give them time…

Manning the pit is usually my job, but I was busy that day…

Only 3 months old, and already embarrassed by his parents.
