Halloween Fun

Patrick has the capacity to be a great sport...the fact that he allowed his mother to dress him up like a puppy dog for Halloween underscores this. I realized I had crossed the point of no return when I found myself excited to be heading up to daycare for the big Halloween party!

Following in his Great Uncle Tom's footsteps, perhaps?

Summer's Almost Gone...

We have been besieged with requests for new photos! And not just from Aunt Hyla! Here are a few recent pics of us enjoying these, the waning days of summer.

Patrick loves to be chaperoned around in his stroller. We hit the park on most days, as the playground equipment is first class!

Summer Fun, Vol. II

Patrick just finished his first two weeks of day care! It was tough on him at the onset...and tougher still on his Mother; however, he is getting more and more comfortable each day. Other than having the sniffles for the last week or so, he's doing just fine.


Playing in the sprinkler on a hot summer day


Chaos factor at this point has to be off the chart!





All smiles


Bath Time is always big fun around here

For those of you scoring at home, today marks Patrick's 17th month on the planet! We are recuperating from a week out West. Thanks a lot to Darrin and Wilma for their hospitality and patience.

Keeping Daddy Honest...

Thanks once again to Aunt Hyla for subtly "reminding" me to keep PB's blog up-to-date! Here are some of our most recent photos--enjoy.


Watermelon seems to be one of his favorites...

Always eager to help fold clothes!

Haircut #2

I had to ask Jo if she was feeling OK when she suggested that we cut Patrick's hair this morning. Reminiscent of moving him out of our room, I quickly procured the electric shaver before she had time to change her mind. Ten minutes later and Patrick looks like a new recruit at Parris Island.
