OR FINLEY VISITS THE MIDWEST AND GOES TO A HOE DOWN
- Big Girl Ride
The Clarks took off to some town northwest of Chicago to attend a Hoe Down wedding! Finley went too!! Of course they went to an Agricultural Fair and Fin got to go on her first big girl ride by herself. This photo makes you think she didn’t love it but she did.
- Look at me
- This is NOT a street fair
- And they had horses too
The wedding WAS a HOE DOWN in the middle of acres and acres of corn fields. Casual dress was the order of the day and Miss Fin in her red white and blue seersucker sundress was a belle. She even boldly walked onto to the dance floor to claim the FIRST DANCE with the groom!!! Oh boy Tom, you better watch out for this one.

And apparently he did!!!!

It hit 93 degrees yesterday (Wednesday) in New York City. What did you do to stay cool? I went to the office and it was pretty cool there – Finley Ray went to Rhode Island to visit Auntie Kerry.

It’s Father’s Day!
Posted in Finley Ray, Friends, tagged Father's Day, Finny, Tom Clark on June 20, 2010| 2 Comments »
I always think of my Dad on Father’s Day. I miss him and on this day, my thoughts have been about how much he was a part of my life. However, this blog is not about what was but rather what is. This morning it gave me great pleasure to send a Happy Father’s Day greeting to my son-in-law Tom, who is a terrific Dad. It is such a joy to see Finny’s face light up and hear her shout out “Daddy, Daddy” when he comes home from work or has been gone for a while. She truly has his heart and she’s his little princess. Here are a few photos of Finny and her Daddy taken over the past 22 months.
This is the best way to go for a walk.

Oh Daddy, you're so funny
This is fun Daddy
I'm a Fairy Princess and this is my Daddy!
Four Generations-the Glory of Girls!
Posted in Finley Ray, Friends on June 17, 2010| 8 Comments »
Recently I gave my daughter Chiara a “Mommy and Me ” coffee mug. I got the idea one morning in Starbucks – while waiting for my usual Grande Americano I saw a row of large tumblers (the kind for taking your coffee on the road with you even if you are only walking!). There was a template behind the lucite exterior. It was advertised as something you could personalize yourself either using real photos or going to Snapfish where there was a template and you could digitally upload up to six photos. Mother’s Day had just gone by and I thought this would be a great gift for her since I know she often takes Finley and her dog, Charlie for a walk in the morning and stops at Starbucks to get a Latte. I had to get some of the older photos scanned and then save them to my hard drive. The end result was GREAT.
This morning I came across some of the photos and thought I would like to see the girls in my blog! We are four generations of Schmidt/Fantacone/Berti/Clark women and I think the family resemblance is there. What do you think?
Helen Schmidt - My Mother
Lorraine Fantacone - Me (Lori)
Chiara Berti - My Daughter
Finley Clark - My Granddaughter
One of Life’s Precious Moments

As my regular readers know, I like to intersperse photos of my beautiful granddaughter Finley Ray. I saw this photo tonight on Facebook where my beautiful daughter Chiara is using it as her profile picture. It is just so precious I had to “steal” it and use in my blog. Sorry Ki!
I Love You Mommy!!

Well not exactly HERE but at least nearby on the Jersey Shore, so Chiara and Finny stopped by this morning to say hi! And then they hit the beach in Bay Head.
What IS she thinking???
