Like peas and carrots

Stuff

Patrick is growing so quickly; I can’t believe he’s already two and a half years old. 

Weekend with Godfather (aka Godfava or Godflower)

Our good friend, and Patrick’s Godfather, came to visit for a weekend.  I think we all had a nice time.

 

Before and After

Patrick enjoyed his dinner tonight.  Not too shabby, son!

Patrick found the rice cooker/steamer

Like all good Cubans, Patrick likes his rice.  But who knew he would find another use for the cooking bowl?

Y Dicen Que No Se Cocinar

jejejeje

The kid really knows how to tire himself out

Patrick was recently invited to celebrate the birthday of a neighbor at the Marbles Kids’ Museum in Raleigh.  Video and photos show he thoroughly enjoyed himself.

Learning how to use the cash register.

A favorite pastime: coloring!

“Driving” an ambulance.

Fighting fires!

Mastermind at chess.

Sliding.

Afterward, mama and dada were in need of an adult beverage.

Yes, even mama needed a drink.

“These people are nuts!  I don’t think I’m supposed to be in a bar. Ay yay yay…”

“I guess I’ll hang out.”

“But I won’t like it.”

Passed out on the way home.  Imagine if he’d had a beer with us!

Happy Easter!

I haven’t posted in a few weeks – we’ve been caught up with regular life activities, plus a visit from Nana.  Patrick continues to make everyone laugh on a daily basis and now smiles for the camera and says “CHEESE!”

Photos of the last few weeks, followed by some from today.  I am proud to say that my meal was pretty tasty and our small family enjoyed the festivities of the day.

Easter dinner:  empanadas, turkey, mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, corn, rolls.  Not too shabby, huh?

Homemade cake:  vanilla, banana, coconut cake with chocolate glaze.
