Patrick is 8!!!!!

Patrick is 8 years old today. HOLY COW!!! Where does the time go? He is such a fun, lovable, big hearted little man. We are so lucky to have him in our lives. Patrick is our child with the BIG heart. He will do anything for anyone and always is the first to take care of someone hurt. Unless he is the one hurting Connor ;).

Pat and I can not believe it has been 8 years since God has blessed us with him and we look forward to watching him grow and seeing the plan God has in store for our little guy.

We hope you have a wonderful birthday and we love you buddy!!!

Winter

Winter is finally here. The kids our loving it. This weekend we have some friends staying with us and the kids have been outside as much as they can tolerate the cold. They get all bundled up (including Trixie) and head outside. Then come in for hot chocolate and to get warm until the next trip out. Last night I let them go out after dark. we turned on the flood light in the back and they had a blast. They stayed out until about 8:00 when I made them come in. My kids love to be outside and play as much as possible whatever the weather. Next weekend we are going to start skiing. Pat is getting out the equipment and resetting the kids skies to fit this year. More pictures of that to come. We can't wait.
