February!

He's starting to smile! I love it!

What appears on your lap when you have  two big brothers!

Not lacking for love!

Happy birthday Sean!

Happy Valentines Day! xoxo

Heart breaker for sure...

2 months old and sleeping off the shots. Ohh those cheeks!!

Silly faces at the Blue Gold Banquet. 

The many faces of Patrick! 

Just realized I forgot to get a pic of Patch in his baptismal outfit... Oops!

Olympic closing ceremonies... 

End of January

Sleepy time smiles!

Memory fun with grandma!

Yes he is!

What a life...

First big outing with Patch -  WWI memorial in Kansas City.  It was a great day!

I surprised Finn as the mystery reader for his class and stayed for lunch. He's such a sweetheart. He haves many hugs as I left and whispered he would miss me. :)

Pinewood Derby time! Snake Eater had a problem dragging on the track... We'll be ready next year!

Finn's class learned all about the Olympics and showed us their favorite events. Finn liked reinacting cross country skiing!

Patrick's newborn pictures

Wrapped around daddy's finger already!

I adore that little boy.

Cullen is so ticklish, I was nervous Patch would roll off!

Love their proud smiles!

So SWEET!

Ohh! Pink baby toes!

little parts :)

sweet yawns

Happy family of five!

Here are some of my favorite pictures the newborn photographer took.  Patrick was only 5 days new in these pictures!  We got off to a rocky start... All he wanted to do was nurse.  I think she was there almost an hour before we could get any pictures taken.  Even though it really stressed me out, it was worth it.  He's changed so much in the last three months!

Patrick's Baptism

My Aunt Teresa was in town from Oregon and had these made special for Patch. :)

God Bless Patrick Edward

Father Joe did a great job of involving the big brothers!

I am so, so behind on updating the blog!  We had Patrick's Baptism Feb. 16 at Assumption Church in Edgerton, KS.  As Father Joe put it, my ancestral home... Patrick is the 5th generation of our family to be baptized in that church.  A church my family members built and whose names are on the church bell.  I'm sure many were smiling down on Patrick that day! :)

I'm happy Father Joe was able to baptize little Patch... afterall, it was during his Christmas Eve Mass we left early, to bring Patrick into the world!  And Father Joe won't let me forget it!  HA!  It was a wonderful ceremony, unlike any other I have been to.  Father Joe wasted to have the Baptism during Mass, to teach the high school CCD kids about baptism.  We all got an education!  And Patrick was a little angel, didn't cry at all when the holy water was poured on him.  In fact, he even smiled at Father Joe when he blessed him!
