Happy Birthday to our wonderful little boy!!!!

Today Patrick is 3 years old. I cannot believe it. There were times when time did not seem to stand still and yet, he really is a little boy now and no longer a baby. That transition did seem to happen so fast. This morning when I told him he was 3 years old he replied, "no, no, I am 2". This evening when I asked him how old he was he said "3 and showed me 3 fingers". What a bright learner! Anyway, he has had a great day blowing out candles with his paternal grandparents and cousins and then doing the same at home with Ma maman visiting from Paris.

Snooze

Joanna,
our dog walker and sitter, who is wonderful, took this picture of Gatsby and Louie sleeping on her dog Tess when they spent the night.

Christmas

Of course it has been much too long since my last update. Here is an overview of the Christmas activities.

Making a gingerbread house with Raphaella


Decorating the tree with Dinan's help.
Enjoying a visit from Henry and Flynnie.

A cozy fire on Christmas eve that we all get to enjoy, especially Gatsby and Louie.

Christmas day and having fun with the new train set.

Christmas day at Grammy and Grampa's. Winnie the Pooh (in his arms below) and the guitar were by far the highlights of the day.

At the park following Christmas.
