Mother's Day is growing

It was a beautiful weekend. Paul, Stacy and Baby Sarah came down to Birmingham for a friend's wedding, and it was the first time the baby cousins were able to meet, and you know that's just a photo-op waiting to happen. I'm sure they thought the paparazzi was back. It was a full house and there were Mothers and gifts and homemade cards all weekend long. In our family we are truly blessed to have such awesome Mommy's, and three generations together.

Patrick is getting huge (well in my eyes). His visit with Doc this morning he is,(at 1 Month (I know, I can't believe it either)) 9 1/4 lbs, and about 21 inches. WOW! And he's every bit of wonderful. I don't have words to describe how grateful I am to be able to be with him each day. We have fun; watching our favorite shows, learning to play the guitar, singing, trying to find our hairbrush, taking care of Gypsy, waiting for Mommy to come home to us, taking field trips, (well those are limited for a couple more weeks), but talking about what we will do, and sometimes just watching each other. Well, it's usually me watching him. But I'll tell you, and you might be able to relate; that eye lock, when he is eating is something that I will never forget (well for one, there's MANY pictures to record it). We are trying to enjoy and be IN each moment, whatever it is. ...can you tell?...I love being a Daddy!
