I am 6 months old today

Patrick turned six months old at Skillibush. He is becoming a lot more active. He loves to watch the dogs, play with his feet, talk to people and he seems interested by everything.

Skillibush continued

Patrick got to meet his cousin Eamonn Patrick Daniels. Eamonn was 10 weeks old at the time of the get together (2 weeks ago). Unfortunately Eamonn lives in San Diego, however I expect them to be great friends and get into lots of trouble up here!! (Not really!).

Sleepy Sleep

What could be better than c0zying up to your brother in front of a roaring fire? This is how Louie and Gatsby have stayed comfortable during the low 40 degree nights.

Skillibush 2007

We made it! After a 7 hour drive which Louise stressed about a fair amount, a baby, 2 adults and 2 pugs all made it safe and sound to Skillibush. It was quite cold when we first arrived on June 29 and here Patrick is dressed with all the warm clothes we brought for him. Who would have thought to look at the weather forecast beforehand? Anyway, all is well and the weather has since warmed up.
Here is Patrick on his first night, happy as can be in Daddy's arms, enjoying the sunset on the front porch.
More pictures to come shortly.

Patrick meets John

That would be Reverend Krueger to Patrick! John married us in 2004. He is a family friend who was in town visiting, and came over for dinner with his wife Pat and Dan's parents.

Patrick knows what is important

Even when his mother is kissing him Patrick knows to keep his eyes on the camera (and Papa behind it)!

Patrick takes notice of the pugs

Patrick has recently discovered Gatsby and Louie.
On their part, Louie and Gatsby like to sniff Patrick; Louie always tries to get a lick in too. They also notice when he is upset and unless I hear Patrick first, I can tell by looking at the dogs if Patrick is crying upstairs (they hear everything!).
