Busy Weekend

With the weather being as nice as it has been, we thought it was high time that we all went out to play. So the whole family got in the van with bike's, trolley (our name for the baby stroller), Frisbee's, baseballs, gloves and cameras ready to go. The boys were out of school Friday so we headed to Tannehill State Park. Everyone, including Patrick was excited to be there (despite what seemed like the eternal nap). We rode bikes, played on the playground and walked about and learned all about the furnaces and what they were used for, and even climbed down into them. Saturday was just as great, so we walked to the park just down the street, where Gypsy ran free and Frisbee's flew through the air. The trolley seemed to be the ideal transport for both places and, as shown, Patrick was just as content as could be. I think he's already comfortable with being a part of our outdoors family. I'm sure that a camping trip isn't too far off now. Seth and Sam are awesome "biggest" and big brothers, making sure that Patrick is watching and learning everything there is to know.

Love......

I never thought that I would be the mom of 3. It is amazing to think that God can give you three perfect healthy little boys....let's make that 4 boys. It is so unbelievable you hold that first newborn and you think he is the most beautiful baby in the world, and that you could never love anyone else as much. Then number 2 comes along and you feel it all over again. Five years later here I am again and suprise, suprise. I think he is the most beautiful perfect baby and how could I love anyone anymore than him except, his Brothers of course and his Daddy.I realize everyday how blessed I am to have all of them.

All Around

I wish there was a way to know what this little guy was thinking and dreaming about. I see these faces and I think I'm sure that he knows what is going on. Some of my favorite moments are those minutes right after he has eaten and falling asleep. I counted about 15 different expressions. He is content, well he is only 6 days old, a majority of the time and is so curious about learing his surroundings. One thing if for sure, he loves to be with people, and of course loves his Mommy and Daddy.

First visit with Doc

We just back from Patrick's first pediatrician visit and boy was that fun! He does great in the car (so far), and enjoys the attention from everyone around. I think he'll be quite a social animal. All of his numbers are just right, and he's grown an entire 3/4 inches since Monday. I'm no expert, but I think that's pretty awesome. However when Doc first walked in, he looked at the examination table, and "thought Patrick looked a little thin" (see picture). We are home now for some much deserved rest.
