A Day at the Farm

It is odd that for Patrick to enjoy farm animals, we have to drive from the country into the suburbs to Frying Pan Farm Park. Oh well, after the $20 spent on gas, it's a great place for kids. We even got to milk a Jersey Cow.

PIGGIES!

COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO

GORGEOUS PEACOCK!

BAAAAA!

MILKING

Last cold snap.

Playing in the bird bath.

Corgi soccer (our first child).

New(ish) Highchair

I wanted one of these before Patrick was born but $300 for a highchair?? I found this one for $75 unfinished and did it myself for well under $200 in labor. Don't know if we will have another little one for it but maybe Patrick can use it for his kids.

Last days of winter

One morning before daycare and quite possibly the last time he will wear this adorable sweater and hat from Hannah Andersson. The bruise on his cheek is from falling into the patio ledge.

Bath Time!

Patrick sure does love his bubble baths. He can even say it when he wants to. He also likes to eat the bubbles and, surprise to me, loves having water poured over his head. I hated that as a child.

Where have we been?

I know, I know. I haven't been posting. For one, I can't get the camera to upload pictures onto my computer and Jesse is protective of his computer. Two, we have been lazy in the picture taking anyway. Three, why post when no one leaves comments (hint, hint)? Four, WE ARE BUSY PEOPLE.

Updates: Patrick had ear tubes put in at the end of Feb. Jesse started his new job at OFHEO (you can google that). I have been elected rector. That means I have a very permanent job until I decide to move on or the congregation makes me miserable (let's hope the latter doesn't happen). Holy Week is next week and I am sick, sick, sick from either the petri dish that is my son or all the hands I shake every Sunday (and I do use Purell).

Yesterday, Jesse took Patrick to a wonderful indoor playground and, as it was reported to me, Patrick went nuts and got right in there with the big kids. We understand there is a working farm/park in the area and are hoping for warmish weather soon so we can all go to that. It even has a petting zoo. Hopefully, we will get out and about and get some cute spring pictures.

BTW Grandmas: cute spring pictures don't happen without cute spring clothes. We love Hannah Andersson and Gymboree. Patrick is wearing an 80 (not quite at a 90 but will be by the end of summer I think) and an 18 month at Gymboree.
