A Nice Visit with Michelle

Today Paul and I visited Michelle P. Paul slept the whole entire time, almost 4 hours! He needed the nap. And I enjoyed some adult-conversation time.

Shawn worked on cleaning a lot of stuff out of the upstairs so they have more room to work on finishing the drywall.

Paul Falls Asleep in Jumperoo

Last night Paul fell asleep in his Jumperoo. It was so funny!

Jo Jo and Family

It was really nice to see Jo Jo and Jeff. Here is Jo Jo's family. I can't believe how big Scotty is! He enjoyed hanging out with Paul.

Sue and Uncle Rob

If I have my information correct, this visit was the first time Sue and Uncle Rob met. Uncle Rob had lots of fun entertaining the kids at the party.

Other Notable Events of the Week

On Wednesday, Paul and I went to the Ash Wednesday service at church. He did very well the whole time and really enjoyed the music. He giggled at his friend Camille, who was very excited about that.

On Thursday, Paul went to great-grandmas while I had a doctor's appointment. Then we went to visit the folks at Trinity West. We had a very nice time and everyone was glad to see Paul.

The Many Faces of Paul

I had to put all of these on here because part of the cuteness comes from the contrast.

Great-Grandpap and all his girls

Grandpap got to spend time with all his daughters.

Family Get-Together

Here is Paul with his grandparents and great-grandpa.

Family Get-Together

We had a family get-together last Thursday to celebrate Aunt Mary and Uncle Rob's returement from the military. It was Paul's first opportunity to meet his great-aunts.

Fun outside in the Field

It was 50 degrees today so I put Paul in the stroller and he and Cana and I went for a walk in the field. It was muddy, but fun nonetheless.

More photos of Paul from Dinner with the Aunts

Paul was the centerpiece for our dinner. Obviously, Aunt Cathy and Sue's stew was finger-lickin' good.

Sue got this very cute picture of Paul in his Jumperoo.

Paul Rolls Over!

Paul rolled over from his back to his belly for the first time this morning!! I didn't catch the event with my camera. However, here he is, obviously exhausted afterward!

Aunt Cathy and Sue, Family Chefs

Aunt Cathy and Sue made a fantastic chicken cacciatore for us with polenta (and rice of course for me). We had a delicous salad for starters, and then enjoyed our meal with 2 great red wines. Then Aunt Cathy and Sue had an outdoor tour with Shawn while Aunt Margie and Aunt Mary enjoyed more indoor time with me and Paul. I am very thankful for such a nice afternoon with my family.

Aunt's Visit

On Sunday 2/22, My Aunt Cathy, Sue, Aunt Mary and Aunt Margie came over for dinner. They all enjoyed seeing the construction and spending time with Paul.

Earlier This Week

Earlier this week Shawn was in Annapolis so Paul and I stayed with Grandma and Grandpa. Paul had lots of fun. He visited grandma and grandpa at work, went walking at grandpa's work, visited great-grandpa and Aggie and Keli and Barbara.

Grandma got him a V-Smile driving toy, he loved it!

Rice Cereal

Today Paul tried rice cereal for the first time. I mixed it up with some milk in a bowl. It didn't work out to well. Much more came out then went in. He pushed most of it out along with a ton of drool. Will try again.

Superbowl

Postgame, he put on his 2nd pair of Steelers Jammies. We all went up and stood by the road sign to wave the terrible towels and encourage the passing motorists. Some Indian folk stopped thinking we were in trouble.

We were very tired but it was hard to sleep because we were so excited about the Steelers win.

Superbowl

Paul enjoyed some pouch time with daddy.
