Helping in the Garden

Paul and Cana had fun helping mommy pick cherry tomatoes in the garden. Now, if she can only find the time to wash them, throw them in a pot, then can them!

Daddy's Music Festival

Paul did really great at his first music festival. He enjoyed dancing to daddy's music, crawling around and getting filthy in the wet grass and playing with all the band girls. He even got to relax in a camping chair at the end of the evening. I think he will love camping when he gets older. Notice that Paul and Daddy match in their white Steeler's t-shirts and green cargo shorts!

Wooden Spoon

Paul discovered the joys of banging a wooden spoon on the floor.

Walk with Jaime and Family

Paul and Ben liked grabbing each other's feet in the double stroller.

Farmer's Market

Daddy and Gibb did a great job playing the Farmer's Market on a hot August day. Mommy was blessed by a Greek woman who gave her a peach. Paul was a trooper the whole time!

Great-Grandma's Lamp

Paul loves Great-Grandma's lamp. On...Off...On...Off.

Washington County Fair II

We went to the fair with Uncle Kevin, Aunt Aimee, Kaitlyn, Tugs, Grandma and Pap. Paul got to ride the Merry Go Round with mommy. He had lots of fun in the petting zoo with grandma and daddy. He enjoyed the cars revving their engines at the Demolition Derby.

Developmental Milestone

Last week, at 9.5 months, Paul started to stand independently. He stands for just a few seconds and his legs shake. Then he sits down or holds onto something. I'm sure it won't be long before he takes his first steps!

Visit with Kim and Alivia Andria

We were very glad to see Kim and Alivia today. Alivia is getting so, so big. I can't believe Paul will be running around like that and understanding so much and talking so much in 8 months.

Tractor Ride With Daddy

Paul got to take a tractor ride with daddy tonight.

Washington County Fair

Paul had a great time in the petting zoo. There were lots of friendly sheep, goats, llamas, pigs and calves.

We were very glad we got to see my friend Stephanie and her cows and calves. Paul got to pet her big cow. We hope she has good luck on Thursday!!!

Speer Family Reunion

Paul and I had lots of fun at the Speer Family Reunion at Hanover Park.

Time with Keli and Grandma

Saturday morning we got to walk with Keli and hang out with Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Cindy.
