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?

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.

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.
